Joe Horn

Whew..I thought it was Joe Horn, the football player.

You go Joe...I wished you lived next door to me when my house got robbed 2 years ago.....

"Horn's supporters parked motorcycles along the block Sunday and jeered protesters who called for Horn to be prosecuted. The supporters waved American flags and hoisted signs reading, "We love our neighbor for protecting our neighbors" and "Burglary is a risky business." "

and if you think that's crazy...see what breaking into someone's home for marijuana will get you:

I'm here in Houston where it happpend and we get almost hourly updates on this case.

The issue I think is not so much about race, but as a citizen protecting property, did he cross the line? From the 911 call, he did not seem to be directly threatened by the men and when cautioned by the 911 operator not to shoot, he still shot anyway.

I think in a legal sense Joe Horn was wrong because he did not have to do it, but morally he was protecting his neighbor.

I so agree...he was instructed by the 911 ops NOT TO SHOOT....he never came to harm, his life was never threatened.

The most he should have done was put down th gun and shoot with a camera.

The cops arrived right when the suspects were fleeing the scene, they probably could have caught them
