You know, you have a reputation of siding with criminals. Why?Dude you are embarrassing. Yes he broke into the house. Clearly he is low level common thief. He doesn't deserve death, you moron.

I'm serious about being over dramatic in these situations.
I think I would have cut the phone line and kept the thief as a servant.
Why shoot the guy when you can get free labor for years to come? I can think of all kinds of stuff for him to do - cut the grass, wash my truck, sleep at the foot of my bed,,,,,,.

I am basically mocking the people who feel it's OK to shoot and kill anything that so much as coughs in the general direction of your property,... see, that last bit was me being over dramatic again!
Someone raiding your home is not equivalent to stealing a pack of gum. Someone using your bathroom and spreading their filth throughout your home is not equivalent to stealing a pack of gum. Then the thief has the audacity to call for help when the homeowner has the temerity to come home and disturb him. Kill him and be done with it. No taxpayer money wasted on that trash.Uh wrong, I just human enough to know executing someone because they stole a pack of gum isn't correctly administered justice.
In any state with castle doctrine he could have shot him even if the police were on their way. In those wussy states without it, he would have had to offer the criminal a drink and some food, rub his feet and then leave his home while the criminal robbed him.

,...... FUCKING HANG THE COCK SUCKER BY THE BALLS AND SKIN HIM ALIV,... see! I'm doing it agai,.. you get the point.In this case the guy was obviously no longer a threat... it would be pretty easy to sit down the hallway with a gun in my lap and wait for the police to arrive. But if someone is in my house when I come home, I'm going to assume the worst and not quiz him on his intentions. If you don't want to get shot by me, do not break into my home where, even if you just wanted to commit a petty theft, I will likely fear for me and my family's life.
In Canada, the police would show up, take the keys away from the home owner, give the keys to the burglar, then arrest the home owner.
You're in Texas: Why would you want/need a Thief for that when you can pick up a Mexican at the nearest Home Depot? D: ()
If you hold him he may sue you for kidnapping and you may end up in jail.Yeah I've often wondered how far castle doctrine goes. I keep my gun within arms reach of myself when I'm in bed. If I wake up and someone is in my room can I shoot him?
I wouldn't shoot someone using my shower; wouldn't even consider it. Hold him for the police? Absolutely. But I couldn't shoot a guy for tying to bathe.
They keep wanting to go back to mexico, and they complain that they have families, and kids to support.
And for some reason, the mexicans expect to get paid for their work.
If the thief was in the shower, he was probably homeless and needed a place to stay. So why not keep him in as a pet? People pick up stray animals all the time, so what about picking up stray homeless people?
If you hold him he may sue you for kidnapping and you may end up in jail.

In England the home owner would have to vacate the premises and ask them nicely to leave by leaving a letter.
As long as there is no perceived threat, I don't think the use of lethal force is justified.
He could have been a homeless guy given a free cell phone in order to help him stay in touch with family etc.I wouldn't shoot someone for taking a shower in my house though I would have them charged. I assume the guy had a cell phone to call the police from the bathroom so he can't be that poor. Must have some issue that he likes to take baths after breaking in.
Splash rum on his clothes and force him to drink after you've stabbed him and he's bleeding to death on the floor."I entered the bathroom and the subject ran at me, screaming, naked and went for my throat."
