Home Owner Shoots and Kills an Intruder..... (67)
Zeelander: I remember a case in California, while I was living there, a criminal sued a homeowner whose house he was braking into. The criminal went into the homeowners garage, grabbed and extension ladder and tried to clime to an open second floor window. He almost made it, but the ladder broke and so did both legs of the criminal when he hit the ground. The criminal sued the homeowner and won. California always destroys common sense for the rest of the country.
Everyone sane supports shooting someone breaking in thier home when they feel threatened. But I bet the California case is a basic lie from the conservatives. Remember the McDonalds lawsuit by a lady for burns? Learn the details 0f the case and youll be shocked at the truth. McDonalds wouldnt even pay the hospital bill for her third degree burns! She didnt want anything else.

Actually I say an interview with the guy's lawyer... it was a very sad day for the law-abiding populus.

There was another case of a man who broke into a house, and had his fingers bitten off by the family's Dobermann. He managed to get into a closet away from the dog, where he bled to death. The robber's family sued and won damages.------ This thread is Archived ------

There are also instances where a homeowner is in the right for killing an intruder but lose a civil suit by the family of the intruder.
I have heard that the civil suits are more stressful than the killing of the intruder

That is one thing I like about Texas. If you are sued because you shot and killed someone who posed a treat to you or your family, the dead persons family cannot collect any monetary settlement from you in court.
After all, we are still the wild wild west and we still do have prairie law. The law also states that a "threat" doesn't have to be with a gun or knife or any weapon of sorts. A threat is any communication where you feel your life might be in danger. Then you can use deadly force. However, when the police get there, you don't tell them that you killed him but that you "STOPPED HIM" from attacking you. After all, it is against the law to "KILL" another person. But you can use deadly force to "STOP" them.

In response to: This morning in Louisville Kentucky, as a home owner was asleep in his bed.... was awaken by someone breaking into his house. The home owner pulled out a handgun fearing for his life. He was confronted by the intruder when the intruder pulled out a gun and shot at the home owner. The home owner returned fire killing the intruder. The gun that the intruder was carrying was found to be one that was stolen from the home owners car earlier in the year.
Very Ironic.... ya think?
Well, later it was found out that the intruder was the home owners 20 year old grandson.

The whole story stinks of BS.
If it had been a real burgulary, the friend would not have hung around outside sitting in the car waiting for the police to arrive after hearing shots and seeing the lights come on in the house.
I'll bet the supposedly stolen handgun had never been reported as stolen.
The only evidence for "burgulary" was that the sofa had been overturned and some cushions pulled out of it. That doesn't sound much like a burgulary to me. It sounds like a hasty effort to give the appearance of a burgulary.
Why would a kid disguise himself, break into his own grandfather's house (armed) and then overturn and tear up a sofa before engaging in a gunbattle with his grandpa?
A more likely scenario would be that the kid came to see his grandfather, an argument ensued, the angry grandfather shot his grandson and then, in order to make it look like a burgulary, produced a ski-mask and a second gun for the corpse, and then hastily overturned and tore up the sofa before the cops arrived.
Meanwhile the hapless friend was waiting outside in the car unaware of what was happening inside.

That does sound a hell of a lot more likely than the scenario presented doesn't it?
Either way it just sucks...

Premeditated for 6 months by the grandfather.... that sounds more likely than the grandson looking for drugs or drug money and planning on killing his grandfather by stealing the grandfathers handgun and using it in other robberies.
But then again, maybe I didn't present this in a ways for the simple to understand.

Charges are pending, but are likely to be dropped against the home owner.
One less criminal on the street.... Thank GOD and our forefathers for getting the paperwork right.

Well....if the intruder was the grandson, it becomes a family affair...
