The fact is the authorities can no longer protect property in most cities, this has become esp true in TX with the plague of drug crime coming in with illegal aliens and their organized gangs. Whole neighborhood associations are now forced to purchase the services of private security guards who are licensed to carry and shoot. I would be delighted to live next to Mr Horn, I would in fact provide him with all of the shot gun shells his trigger finger needs, and all the coffee he needs to stay awake and watch my property.

Had he been protecting his own home, I might be inclined to look more kindly on what Mr. Horn did. But as was said, it wasn't his home, it wasn't his property, they were not threatening him in his home and he could have easily just described them to the 911 operator, the car they had, the direction they were going and the cops would have picked them up a few minutes later.

and they would have been released as quickly as an "ACLU" lawyer could arrive to claim that they are victims. As it is, they won't threaten anyone again. And that is the point, if the authorities and the legal system can't protect our homes, our families, our lives, then we must do so. The chaos that is engulfing many of the cities, simply can't continue, eventually people take charge of their own destinies, they don't just cower waiting for the cops to come by and maybe fix the problem temporarily, the problem eventually gets fixed by outraged people, like Mr Horn.
Bravo Mr. Horn! I hope that the prosecutor who attempted to prosecute Mr Horn is fired!

Do you think he knew they were illegals? I want my property guarded. I have dogs and I have a gun. I couldn't use a gun on someone who was running away. If someone was coming toward me -- and I'm threatened -- I can't say. Shooting in the air or toward someone -- maybe create a bluff. Burglary is not punishable by death. The Texas law allows deadly force to protect property, if I understand correctly. Does the Castle Doctrine include a neighbor's property?

The guy was on the phone for quite a while before he took it into his own hands -- why did it take so long for law enforcement to be dispatched? Or is that a normal amount of time?

Plenty of Mexican nationals are arrested for crimes every day. And they either do prison time or they get shipped back over the border. No, despite urban legends to the contrary, the ACLU doesn't rush in to the rescue all of them ::)
