2 burglars shot dead in Pasadena (Houston: movies, homeowner, yard)

[da jammer]

in case you all missed the chatter over here....

Two illegal criminal burglars dead, 1 US citizen facing life.

Article on Houston news, entertainment, search and shopping | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle - someone called DA's office and threatened Horn's life. And you can listen to the audio and it is definitely racist whereas I don't believe Horn killed out of racism. The public made it a racial thing, not Horn.

So goes to prove people who are out there live all over town - and are neighbors to people who think their neighbors are unarmed. So the flag wavers were not necessarily just "the good people of Pasadena". That protest was beyond that neighborhoods control and was filled with outsiders from both sides of the argument.

Does it really matter where they were from? My point was that white people, the very same people that Quanell and his cronies are targeting as racists, were waving the confederate flag and shouting racial epithets. I mean, come on...were they just out there cheerin' for the good ol' South? It does not help Mr. Horn one iota for idiots to do that. I really could care less about the neighborhood protest itself, heck, let 'em come out in droves, but jeez, don't make it any worse for the rest of us by just proving Mr. Evans correct.

Anyways, when you are involved in some criminal activity, that is the kind of risk you are taking. It seems like under Texas law, this is absolutely legal. Comments?

Pasadena man fatally shoots burglary suspects

I live in Houston texas and I am appauled by the none criminal action the local government is taking or the state. What is not being told to the mass media is that a plaincloth officer was on the scene at the time of the shooting of the two men and identified himself to Mr. Horn.Moderator cut: off topic and this man kills two men in broad daylight while talking to a 911 operator and an officer talking to him from the street and he has not been charged with anything. Moderator cut: offtopic TWO HUMAN LIVES NO INDICMENT AND YOU HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT THE KILLINGS?Moderator cut: off topic

Say it ain't so? A cop was on scene while this was going down. But, the dispatcher did not reveal that to Mr. Horn. Maybe the police should reveal every strategy to the public so that the public can be fully assured at every second that something is being done. Sadly, or not, much of this is making my points all along. The public assumes so much about the police and their strategies and this and that; its not accurate. So, some of you think the worse that police are not working at the least or are ineffective at best. And, who cares if these criminals are illegals; good grief. Career criminals en masse are released from prisons and jails all over the country and perpetrate further crimes on the public. Lets compare that statistic to the number of illegals committing crimes here in this country. I would venture a guess here that its the career criminal doing the most damage to our communities. To me, a criminal is a criminal. Why split hairs here except to turn a nation against itself. Now, did you see that woman in Colorado who was working in security? Now, she is my hero. There was planning that went into that shooting and it took place in about five seconds in her brain. It is time to evolve as a society, not devolve.

I don't agree with that church on most issues and
I really wouldn't want to go to a church where guards are given guns -- but sadly, I guess things have come to this. Mr. Horn has probably had enough. Read some of the threads here about illegal aliens and you will learn what awful problems they bring. People are fed up with feeling unsafe.

Michael Vick was indicted when the atuhorities heard he was involved in ilegal dog fighting and this man kills two men in broad daylight while talking to a 911 operator and an officer talking to him from the street and he has not been charged with anything.

DOG INDITMENT =23 MTHS PRISON SENTENCE 3 years probation/ TWO HUMAN LIVES NO INDICMENT AND YOU HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT THE KILLINGS? And you still can't prove O.J. did it. Been on his back for 10 yrs or more trying to send him to jail.

Oh, PLEASE!

Michael Vick really has nothing to do with this and neither does OJ.



Yes, Kim, I was wondering the same thing...maybe we should just demand the police give us all a full detailed description of their every strategy and every move so that we all know what's up and everything is fair. LOL!

I didn't know I was being racist in this thread. Could someone point out to me where I am being racist? Feel free to send me a DM if need be. Apparently someone thinks I am being racist, because they gave me a neg rep over it, anonymously. I feel like I am being anything but racist. Perhaps someone can enlighten me. Thank you!

^ ^ That's just the cat-scratch some folks give when there are no other reasonably intelligent and/or civilized explanations left to counter your argument.

I have never picked up that from your posts either. Actually, I checked out that other thread and I think overall we have beat this topic to death in a very mature and intelligent way.
