I have no intention of moving down there thank you very much. My problem is that you people have no problem w/what this person did. Scary & weird & pretty accurate for how the degradation of this society has gone.

Im sorry, two men were breaking the law, two men who had a criminal past. Who knows what they would have done in the house, clearly their intentions were not good. So a neighbor helps another, something we dont see now a days, I dont see anything wrong with defending prpoerty from criminals.

Perhaps you didn't notice the OP??? Who started calling names? Wasn't me, I do believe that post calls the guy a yahoo. Go figure, I don't expect you to understand.

Back to my point, the point is some guy shot & killed 2 people who were robbing, not HIS house, but his neighbor's house...two people who weren't even armed, were not threatening him & were in fact not even facing him when he shot them. Where in his story-telling was there ever any threat to him? None, he said he felt threatened???? How I wonder? He's the hick w/the shotgun, both barrels blazing, this person has no logic & got away w/murder. But then again, it happened in Texas where idiocy is rewarded. Maybe all of you should move there??? Start your own little redneck nation, yeah? Interesting that you can even justify this idiotic actions, actually not interesting more like pathetic.

Here it is !

And??? I didn't say I didn't call anyone rednecks, what I SAID was that the original post includes calling someone a yahoo & wacko. So why don't you run along & start yelling at that guy.

Some people like to call others disparaging names on this board. Fortunately, hateful and obnoxious folks can be ignored.

Free speech and all that.

On the topic, I don't think using the word "yahoo" to describe someone in the news, is quite as obnoxious as telling people to replace their "redneck stupid hat" but for some folks that's the standard m.o.--especially when they're about to go on a rant that makes no sense.

...and then they whine that you're not being fair: You criticized them but didn't criticize someone else.
