I used to have the attitude of " if you take my things or try to take my things , it's your azz". Well now a days I have a lot to lose if I go shoot someone trying to take my stuff. The only time I'd shoot is if someone was inside my home and I felt mine or my families life was threatened. The last thing I want is some thug democrats family trying to sue me because they wanted to steal from me to buy crack.... I will let the police handle it

and some of you think that this was justified? Justified over what? Beer, maybe a cell phone...or whatever.

Get a license# and turn them perps over to the police. So many young lives that have been destroyed here...shooting them as they were running away was not the right answer.
Agreed...I have had stuff stolen from me and at the time I was pissed and said I would kill a mfer but Id like to think Im more level headed than that. Unless you are in fear of your safety or your familys saftey there is no reason to shoot at them. You can say stop Ive got a gun or I could possibly even see firing a shot at the ground to make them stop, but being a responsible gun owner means not just shooting randomly. I mean what if he misses them but the bullet goes through a window of a house and kills a truly innocent person. Stuff is replaceable no matter the value peoples lives are not

I will agree with Reefman to a point but it is sad that this happened but its also sad that even if he caught them red handed and held them till police got there they would have just been released to their parents who evidently ain't doin a good job in the first place. I know this probably will turn out unjustified and the shooter will end up doin time and no the punishment for theft shouldn't be death but if they prove these kids were breaking into his truck then they should be beat on public TV and it be shown in every school of America that this is the punishment.
I had a 4wheeler stolen and my buddies horse stolen by some "miss guided" kids that cost us both money and time lost just to have them turned back over to their parents.... where's the justices in that, they should everyone of them be tried along with their parents and then anyone found guilty at the least beat and put on TV. When we began dealing REAL justice to kids and adults for crimes I bet people will think twice.

I believe he shouldn't have shot at a fleeing car and I'm not happy with anyone dying. I think the situation is horrible for all involved. I do see from what his sister said as to why he would want to take matters into his own hands.

No doubt according to the law it was a bad shoot. However, it is hard to say what any of us would do in that situation considering the circumstances. After numerous break-ins and numerous reports ignored by LEO, whose to say this wouldn't have eventually escalated into a home invasion or worse. I'm not saying he was justified, but people can only take so much. It's sad that a kid died, but don't think they're all innocent because they are just 15. 15y/o's today aren't the same as 15 y/o's just 10 years ago. You play stupid games you win stupid prizes.

Yep. You put yourself in a bad situation, and bad things are likely to happen.

Well considering the shooter is now facing perhaps the rest of his natural life in prison, it would be a good idea for him to have known whether he was within his rights to shoot or not. It occurs to me that some gun owners may not know exactly what situations call for firing a weapon.

It is simple, you cannot put property above a life. I can understand the frustration but thats where responsibility and self control comes into play. Hind sight is always 20/20.

How I see it... If your out at 2-3am nothing good can come from it

If your on someone property breaking into someone private owned thing , you should prepare for the consequences !

Would I shoot at someone in my truck??? Yes all 30 rounds!!


If you take the chance to steal or rob someone you take the chance to pay!!

Its not yours so leave it alone and you will never ever never have to worry about getting shot for stealing !!



(if that is the true story)

So you'd shoot someone outside your house for breaking into your truck??? I hope this never happens so your daughter doesn't have to grow up with her dad in jail!

i hate a "theft" as much as the next guy. and i have thought the same as you as well ...but as i get older i realize all material things can be replaced and i dont need to puff my chest out and wave a gun around to be a man, to me being a man is knowing when its best to walk away so you can be there for your family! what good is the " ill show that mf'r "gonna do your wife or daughter when you are locked up and they cannot pay the bills!
