The question will be whether it was reasonable for Horn to fear the men and whether his earlier threats on the 911 call showed he planned to no matter what, said Fred Moss, who teaches criminal law at Southern Methodist University.
"That's what makes it so hard and that's why we have juries," Moss said."

Joe Horn is a redneck and he belongs in jail. It was obvious from the 911 call that Horn planned on $hooting the burglars. Horn was not in any danger. The burglars were shot in the back.

This is everything thats wrong with America. How can you honestly sympathize with these criminals? It would take a "redneck" to care enough about your neighbors to risk your life for them. He even says that he barely knows them. The man is a hero, not a villain.
Whatever, have fun voting for Obama, hippie.

Sympathize? If you want to call it that, then I sympathize because I am not a redneck from Texas. If someone steals a "TV" or whatever they stole they should get the standard punishemt for stealing a TV. I would guess the standard punishment would involve jail. Getting shot in the back is excessive.
