Cops say a lot of things. Doesn’t mean they’re right, after all the Supreme Court has said they don’t actually have to know the law.

According to the OP:

  • Trespassing
  • Property damage
  • Breaking/entering

Would you be surprised if this person has priors (and or was intoxicated) that act as aggravating circumstances? Neither would I. OP was within his right. What jury would side with this piece of shit?

Anyways, the story reaffirms my belief that I should at the very least get some pepper spray if not a gun cuz I'm not very big and my dog isn't a fighter.

I would, if it could be proven that he acted against the law or recklessly, if i was on his jury. Its the only thing that separates us from wild west vigilantism. In reference to the homeowner, i mean.

Because I want to apply the law equally and not let a homeowner get away with killing fleeing people in cold blood?

Some criminal, who broke into this dudes house and was going to do god knows what. What if the owner was a 100 lbs female instead? What happens then? Does she get assaulted physically? Sexually? The OP did the world a service.

Cold blood? From what I understand, this criminal is still a live and in custody where he belongs. Why defend pieces of shit? If OP went American History X on the guy sure, but he gave him one hook and a push down. Boo-hoo, go live in CHAZ you nut.

Once they’re running from you they are no longer a threat. And the push down could’ve caused head trauma, and the suspect was already retreating so it wasn’t necessary.

I’m not a nut, I just don’t defend rampant thuggery in the guise of “home defense”. Seen too many “they were running away when shot in the back” stories where the shooter gets away with it because of right wing style home defense laws, aka you can kill anyone for any reason even at the moment they’re not actually a threat to you. That’s called murder. Or assault.

No one was shot in the back here, apples to oranges, a punch and a push is amazing restraint IMO. We disagree, pointless to continue this. Good luck in life.

P.s. You downvote everything you disagree with. Funny haha. Enjoy.
