"He's got a pretty extensive criminal record of felonies over the last 13 years,"

I suspect the crime rate will be dropping now. Probably committed his last felony right there in the winder.

One less thug on the street.

Another one bites the dust.

One less criminal to wreak havoc on the community

"He's got a pretty extensive criminal record of felonies over the last 13 years," Nelson said of Dunbar. "He has at least 12 arrests for felonies and a half dozen convictions."

One citizen spends a buck-o-five on ammo and takes care of a social problem in a few seconds that the state failed to solve in 13 years and thousands of dollars.

Good Shooting! Send him a box of ammo!

“...killed a man he discovered climbing into a window of his house ...”

How is this a “suspected burgler”?

Sounds guilty and convicted to me!

Quick someone notify that liberal Chronicle bed wetter Lisa Falkenberg that another homeowner thought his property and his family was worth more than some burglars life!

So who wants to say this VCA shouldn’t have had to die for a robbery? A lot of people were saying that about the pair that Horn exterminated.

The two men, who were in the country illegally, were confronted by Horn in his front yard after a police dispatcher told Horn not to go outside with his shotgun. Police said both men were shot in the back with a shotgun and died at the scene.

Uh-oh! I remember taking a law class as part of my MBA program in California. The instructor was a ex-Police officer and now a lawyer (nobody is perfect). He actually said, if you shoot someone and he falls outside the house, drag him back in... I have no idea what the law is in Texas, but I know in California, in order for the shooting to be justified, you have to show threat. I'm worried for Horn...

In today's case, Dunbar "had made entry but his whole body wasn't inside yet," Nelson said.

From what I've read on posts from Texas FReepers, being fully inside the window doesn't enter into it. Being on the property at night is pretty much all that is needed. Why should it matter if this POS had his body completely inside the window or not. His intention was obvious, especially since "Deputies found a back screen door on the back of the house torn from its hinges..."

Are we sure that this wasn't written by "Chronicle bed wetter Lisa Falkenberg" or one of her "staff"? The liberal bias just reeks.

I always keep in mind Mark Twain's advise when I read krap(tm) written by "journalists":

...the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditchdigging and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse."

Someone in this area needs to ask, why was this individual not in prison? Who released this career criminal? What judge was involved in setting this guy free?

The good folks down there in Houston seem to be thinning out the criminal ranks quite efficiently these days. That TX Castle Doctrine law appears to be working as advertised, too bad every state legislature and governor doesn't have the guts to enact it for the good of their law abiding citizens.

In many states if you shoot an intruder you're in more trouble than the criminal you shot, and the best outcome you can expect is to lose everything you own and end up in debt up to your eyeballs for legal expenses.
