Good Citizen or Citizen Gone Wild?

Joe Horn has made allegations that two black males were burglarizing his neighbors house and he dialed 911 – which is what most good neighbors would do, but he decided to take his neighborhood watch program to a more extreme level and gunned the two burglars down in cold blood.

While I think the two alleged criminals should have gone to jail and done time for the crimes they committed , Joe Horn did not have the right to kill two human beings over his neighbors property. This is not the wild, wild west and he is not a judge & jury.

There are some protesting these shootings in the Houston area:

Activist Quanell X and dozens of other protesters Sunday faced hundreds of homeowners and supporters of Joe Horn, the Pasadena man who shot and killed two men he suspected of burglarizing a neighbor’s home more than two weeks ago.

Families of the slain men, Miguel Antonio DeJesus, 38, and Diego Ortiz, 30, also were present.

Yard signs lined the 7400 block of Timberline in Pasadena, where the incident took place, as well as on nearby streets.

Residents and Horn supporters waved American flags and carried signs reading, “We love our neighbor for protecting our neighbors” and “Burglary is a risky business.” Read more

Mr. Horn should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for premeditated murder.

What say you?
