There is a link to listen to the actual 911 call…typical old country boy that don’t fuck around.

he did the right thing, but he will probably be charged wtih something. The law doesn’t like citizens to have that much power. ☹

I think his defense is if he says it looked liked they had a gun pointed at him…if not chaces are he will serve some time.

if 911 tells you not to go outside, and you basically tell then you are going to grab your shotgun and go kill them, it pretty much throws the self defense argument out of the water. He should have hung up with 911 and did his deed, then called back in and told them to send a coroner with 2 bags because they tried to attack him.

I’d take him as a neighbor anyday. That whole phone call isn’t going to pan out well for him, but the phone call doesn’t prove what the robbers did in his front yard.

I hope they are able to defend him. It’s about lawfulness and lawlessness, if we continue to let criminals win no matter what they are doing, we deserve the inevitably horrible outcome.

I agree, but you really can’t let ordinary fucked up citizens (you and me) decide who lives and dies.

My luck would be instead of robbers, it was my neighbors uncle or something going over to feed the dog and I shot him thinking it was a thief. 😃

I agree as well, but I am curious to see what kind of spin the lawyers are going to put on this. It’s too early to say what’ll happen, crazier things have occurred.

Wouldn’t you guys expect your neighbor to do something about it if they had the ability?  
I don’t think he should be charged really either…but it’s true, some people would take it out of hand if it’s legal.  
I’m sure he won’t get a full sentence of any sort like if it were just murder.

I have no idea what will happen from this incident. However I believe in Texas you are allowed to use deadly force to defend property. But I would assume this means your property, not your neighbors.
