Link? I thought the only exception was rape.
Maybe it's just me but I find this to be rather creepy.
Aren't you don't exactly the same thing, since this didn't actually take place in Texas?Stop living like your local laws are national laws.
In Texas deadly force is justifiable for many reasons.
You tend to have another view about scum that would break into your house or do you harm anywhere after you've been the victim of it before.

Do you really think arguing about this is going to somehow change the judges or juries mind? No... Unless you are the judge or the one of the members of jury your not... So... let the justice system decide after that you can argue about it all you want.
But I pat the dude on the back... Since if these two robbers didn't die we'd be paying for their stay at Disneyland at yes... your tax payers expense. But sadly dead people don't talk and if he would have just pleaded the fifth he probably would have just been the end of it.
I thought that's what you were suppose to do? Kill em so they don't sue your ass later? He did the right thing.

You fail at debating sir--whenever you start using 'how would you feel if...' As the basis of your argument, there isn't anything left to debate because you've put everything we talk about into a circular argument.
But to the point, there are some seriously fucked up people on this forums. The fact that you are celebrating a guy executing two teenage burglars when they are already incapacitated and posed ZERO clear and present threat makes me fear for humanity.
I'm an advocate of gun rights, but this is beyond that debate, it's pure sadism.
You seem to fail at reading, no one is arguing that what the guy did in murdering the intruders after they were incapacitated is wrong. He will very likely (and correctly) be punished severely for it.
But to feel sorrow or remorse that the two dimwits that broke into his house are now dead is where I and it appears several other draw the line.
You're an idiot, maybe you should scroll back and read what people are saying. Stop trying to troll me, because I'm still waiting for your examples of how you own people in debates in other threads :awe:
The real bottom line lesson to be learned here is that if you deadly force to defend your property, best know your state's gun laws backward and forwards. Maybe what our Mr. Smith did might pass muster in Florida, but not in Minnesota.
As Minnesota law is nearer the national norm than places like Florida.
I'm not willing to punish this guy for going overboard what society thinks is proper, in his own house, after the protection mechanisms society provides failed (schooling, police), and then question his decision to grant what these two scum already accepted.
Don't invade peoples homes. Don't get dead. Seems pretty simple to me....

Guess what, society makes the goddamn rules, not you and whatever fucked up revenge fantasies you have. I know it irks people like you, but even criminals are afforded the same rights as anyone else on the country, and their rights don't just disappear because you think they are scum.
Homeowner executes two burglars
No he showed a disregard for scum. The scum showed a disregard for their own lives, and what they wanted was granted. You don't go invading peoples dwellings without accepting that the risk you're accepting includes being maimed and/or killed. These scum decided to accept that risk and invade anyways. And they got what they accepted.

but they were unarmed.
Holy fillet of FUCK. WTF is wrong with you?!
Where do you live?
Let's have a pair invade your house whether unarmed or not and see how you feel about it.
1: Good initial shooting
2: Bad execution following
I would shoot them if they didn't leave after seeing me brandish a rifle. Then I would call the police.
I wouldn't shoot them execution style after they've been rendered helpless by the first gunshots.
what part of this can't you comprehend.
What's this rendered helpless crap?
When you shoot there is only one option, shoot to kill.
The guy deserves to rot in jail. Seriously though, the guy incriminated himself. If he had said nothing, he would be free right now. Then again, I'm glad the lunatic decided to be stupid and incriminate himself in the crime of murder now and not later after doing it again.
She was lying on the floor, out of it enough that he was able to drag her around. She was rendered helpless, and no longer a threat. And then he murdered her.
