HORSESHIT!!!!Texas man cleared of shooting suspected burglars
HOUSTON - Ever since he fatally shot two men he suspected of burglarizing his next-door neighbor's home, 62-year-old Joe Horn has been both praised and vilified for his actions.
(Ed note: Compare this version of the story...)
Horn called 911 and told the dispatcher he had a shotgun and was going to kill the intruders. The dispatcher pleaded with him not to go outside, but a defiant Horn confronted the men with a 12-gauge shotgun and shot both in the back.
Some community activists wanted Horn to face charges for the deaths. Supporters of the retired grandfather said what he did was justified under the law.
After listening to evidence in the case, including testimony from Horn himself, a grand jury on Monday cleared him of the shootings.
"He wasn't acting like a vigilante. He didn't want to do it," said Tom Lambright, Horn's attorney.
Lambright said Horn was not a "wild cowboy" who took the law into his own hands after he saw the two suspected burglars, with bags in hand, crawling out of windows from his neighbor's home on Nov. 14 in the Houston suburb of Pasadena. The neighbor was out of town at the time.
(Ed note: Compared with this version)
Instead, Horn was a frightened retiree who tried to defend his neighbor's property and when the two men came onto his yard and threatened him, Horn defended himself, Lambright said.
"He was scared. He was in fear of his life," he said.
He called the cops to tell 'em he was gonna go outside and kill a couple of mexicans/negroes. Then he shot 'em in the back.
Another murderous, gun-happy, rightard (you doubt it?) cracker goes free in Texas...
The only problem with living in New Mexico is that to go anywhere east, one just about HAS to go through Texas.

The Pride of Ponchitoula heard from!
They git along purty good down there considering most of 'em having only one set of grandparents...
Uh, Mr.Horn killed two illegal aliens who were committing more illegal acts. One had already been deported once for contraband possession but sneaked back across the border. No telling what crimes they would have committed in the future. If what Mr. Horn did was illegal then the law needs to be changed so folks can protect not only their home but their territory as well. As for the criminals, they would not be dead if they had not attempted to violate someone else's liberty. America=Liberty. We have the greatest country God has ever given man.(For you atheists and agnostics and those of other religions you may omit God - it's your liberty to do so and I will not think ill of you like some Christians who ignore Christ's teachings). We have a government that allows for each individual to pursue their life as they see fit as long as they do not interfere with the liberties of their neighbor. The only thing wrong in this country is the politicians who think they were crowned king, lords and barrens to serve themselves instead of serving the people who elected them. Their primary number one job is to insure the sovereignty of this nation and the individual liberties of each citizen.(Notice I said citizen as in legal citizen). Monarchies,socialism,dictatorships,and pure democracies are enemies to free men. Have a great day.
