I think a lot of people who agree with the Texas man's rights to murder 2 guys robbing his neighbours house by shooting them in the back and defend this guy in Taber put too much stock in property and material wealth. Under no circumstance are my personal property or possesions more important than the safety of me and my family. Ever. When this lunatic saw someone breaking into his home and baracaded the thief inside he made a choice. He chose vigilante justice, as evididenced by the axe smashing in the face of the burgler. Was the victim wrong to ransack another mans house? Yes. Was he wrong to try and steal someone elses things? Oh yes. But putting his wifes life in danger by blocking his exit and forcing a confrentation is insane. Let the cops worry about law enforcement; this isn't the wild west. And to those who would respond by saying the cops won't catch the guy, maybe, maybe not. But if I had to chose to catching a guy but by doing so risking the lives of my family members --even by 5%-- I let the guy walk away with a TV or xbox. Hell I wouldn't even risk my dogs life to that material bullcrap.

Spoken like someone whos never had anything irreplaceable stolen. The cops are useless when it comes to recovering stolen property. Hell they couldnt even get the guys family heirlooms back and they caught them the same night. If given the chance I'm going to defend my family and property.
