Well, theft is not punishable by death. And while I can agree with a person's right to defend themselves, shooting someone to death, in the back, as they're fleeing, is not self defense. Even worse if you kill a fleeing person with an illegally owned gun.

He'd been burgled numerous times before however, whether it was the same guy or not...and the police here were (and still are) useless.

I'd have shot him in the leg and phoned the police, but no matter what I think he had a lot of support from the public here. Perhaps people don't deserve guns, and don't deserve to defend their property... perhaps Obama is right to try and disarm the US...

My grandfather shot a guy in the leg who was attempting to steal his car, the cops congratulated him and gave him more bullets, lol.
