Another reason why you should know the laws before you use your gun....

"Justice" simply means you were serviced by the system, not that the right or moral thing was done

and now im having flashbacks to the first part of plato's republic

who was socrates arguing with regrading the definition of justice?

Home owner kills a dirtbag. Even though he might be guilty of technical "manslaughter", the DA should decline to press charges. Getting a grand jury to indict and a jury to convict would be more work than its worth and not very good odds.

This would likely be true if the perpetrator was white, but since he is a member of a special "victim" group...........Special considerations apply

Cops do it all the time

Damn it man

Damn it man
LoL.

What?..They do..Only difference would be that it would 16 cops empty 16 rounds each into the back window and then all 16 testify they feared for their life..

The bad guy got what he deserved the guy would walk free if I was on the jury

On the upside the fool who got ventilated will never try this stunt again! I hope the homeowner gets set free!

Thankfully there are a few educated shooters in my home, he certainly wouldn't be able to tie us all up at the same time.

He should start a defense fund...

He should have learned the laws on the Justified use of Deadly Force beforehand.
I would say he will learn them now... only the cost will be more expensive even if he doesn't go to jail.

Why do you assume he didn't know the law?

I'm trying to imagine walking into my home and finding a family member tied up at gun point. The suspect then flees. I guess at that point I have two options.
1) "It's OK honey/son, let me untie you. The bad man is gone. I'll get on the phone now to call the real estate agent and a therapist.
or
2) Sling every grain of lead at him/them I can get my hands on as long as I can see them.

I get your point but there is no way I'm letting an armed felon who broke into my home leave unscathed if I can help it.
