Mr. Horn committed murder. The only question in my mind is to what degree, manslaughter or murder. His statements indicate his frame of mind, even prior to the confrontation. He is going to shoot them for stealing property. He is not saying I am going to shootthem if they pose a threat to me, I am going to shoot them as they are committing a burglary.

There is a reason we have due process, it is to avoid vigilantism such as this. I am an advocate for using deadly force in defense of one's own property. I even believe that a person who enters a residence poses a risk to the occupants, but a neighbor secure in his own residence and in communication with LE. Sorry but this idiot needs to do some jail time.

To be willing to kill someone for a piece of property is a strong indication of this individuals "right from wrong" wiring. My money says that Mr. Horn is not an upstanding citizen, with prior arrests.

Mr. Horn needs to do some prison time.
