Don't let the adrenalin and rage get the best of ya.


Update: Maybe this explains the charges.

As Bryant and his four companions ran away from the scene, authorities said Abdelgawad ran after them and fired twice at the group, killing Bryant with gun shot wounds to his back and the back of his neck.

I understand the impulse, but you can't chase the guy down.

nope. Once they are out the door let them ride.

Thus, the problem with the law. I feel no sympathy for any scum bag who breaks into a home and gets their due justice, regardless of how it is dished out.

Wished the video worked. Homeowner has at least one prior.
If someone points a gun at me and/or fires from OUTSIDE my home it would change the game in my mind... but yep... not legally.

while it is illegal and you shouldnt do that, i feel like the other 3 should also get charged if the shooter is. after all they were accomplices and were there when he was killed

anyway this guy wont have to worry about one of them coming back now for revenge

I dunno man. IF they are actively shooting at you from outside.... that is different than some guy running away from your house with an xbox.

Completely agree, legally. What I'm saying is if someone takes pot shots INTO my home from outside, I'm more inclined to use extraordinaire force to kill him. He doesn't get to shoot at me from outside my home then when I engage face away and proclaim "No fair, safe zone!" Same thing as if he is INSIDE my home. If I perceive someone as a threat and feel my life is in danger, I'm going to try and kill that person. There is no 'magic line or posture' of safety from a PRACTICAL standpoint but yes I agree, the law is NOT on my side in that situation and as presented in the OP, the homeowner is charged correctly per the law.
