Too bad he didn't live in Texas.
Having had my stuff stolen on a number of occasions I really can't work up a tear for the perp.

Be glad you don’t live in Europe. I recently had a friend in Scotland who had her home broken into by a complete stranger. The police couldn’t arrest the man because she ‘had an unlocked front door’ I kid you not.

Police said that legally, loss of property is not enough to justify the use of deadly force.What kind of idiocy is this? This is practically an incentive to steal stuff. I'd give this guy a medal. Had he not been persecuted, he would have saved the taxpayers tons of money.
Hopefully the jury will act with more sanity than law enforcement.

James Ingram will have to let a jury decide.
He should insist on a jury of his peers, burglary victims.

You can thank the liberals for it.

Ingram's attorney said his client was merely attempting to hold Lucas for the police, but when the teen ran, Ingram fired several shots after him. The correct statement would have been: "Ingram's attorney said his client was merely attempting to hold Lucas for the police, but when the career criminal launched an apparent attack, Ingram felt a justifiable fear for his life and fired several shots in self-defense, but the attacker turned away just as Ingram pulled the trigger the last time, and that shot hit the career criminal in the back," assuming that's what happened, of course.

Speaking of Texas..(I'm assuming you live there) a few months ago there was a man,from TX, who witnessed some thieves trying to break in to his neighbors house and he called 911 and then proceeded to tell the operator he was going to have to shoot them and she was trying to convince him not to. But he did anyway...can't remember if he killed one or just wounded them. Did you hear about that or what happened to the guy?

Property is money.
Money is labor.
Labor, stolen from the laborer, is slavery.
Therefore, property IS enough to justify deadly force, because to take someone’s property is to make them a slave for the benefit of the criminal.

That happened right up the road from my house. He killed them both and the police didn’t wanna charge him, but under pressure from latino groups and the black panthers, they caved...but when it came before a grand jury the didn’t indict(IIRC)...I’m sure the police & prosecutor did a piss poor job presenting the evidence b/c none of them wanted him convicted....oh and the 2 guys he shot were illegals...

The detail that makes me think twice about this case is that the perp appears to have been unarmed and running away when shot.
Shooting him to stop him breaking in, stealing, or harming someone - yes, absolutely, but shooting him in the back while he’s unarmed and running away without having harmed anyone or actually stolen anything.... I don’t know, just doesn’t sit right with me.
To: FLAMING DEATH; fatnotlazy
And here’s the kicker... if law enforcement was doing its job the perp might have had a few less holes in him.

God’s idiocy....even in the Bible God didn’t justify the killing of a thief breaking in your home....unless it was at night b/c u couldn’t be clear of their motives....to God, life is more valuable than property...
Your thoughts??
Don’t flame me, I’m as pro-death penalty as they get....

well fact is he shot him in the back (he was running away)
So as long as you don´t live in texas he shot an unarmed person who was running away and this is a crime.
To: DrewsMum
God also said "thou shalt not steal." And how did the victim know that the perp was only intending to steal from him? Of course it is very easy to assume that after the fact the perp wasn't going to attack the victim, but how is the victim to know?
Throughout the Old and New Testaments, both God and Jesus tell us that we must be prepared to defend ourselves against those who would attack us.
There should be no reason to NOT use maximum force against a perp if you feel your life is in danger.
