I think the only thing he's got going for him is that this was in texas.

I can understand when people protest a guy being shot to blazes by cops when they pull out a wallet (NY) or are ambushed in a car outside a bar (NY), but when they stand up for two guys blatantly caught in the act of a crime its just ridiculous. Are we supposed to respect peoples need to steal now?

Seems like 1/2 the people protesting are siding with burglars. I think being a burglar is a dangerous occupation in Texas. (read the link)

Yet another example of how "we don't understand this part of their culture".

HOUSTON -- A preliminary autopsy report shows that the two victims police believe to have been burglarizing a home in Pasadena last month may have been shot in the back.

Police had originally thought the wounds on the front side of Miguel Antonio DeJesus, 38, and 30-year-old Diego Ortiz's bodies were where the gunshots entered their bodies. But the report shows that the wounds in front side of their bodies actually are where the shots may have exited.

Ortiz and DeJesus died Nov. 14 by 61-year-old Joe Horn who shot them in the chest and lower abdomen area.

Horn said he saw the two men breaking into a neighbor's house and called 9-1-1 threatening to kill the men, a 9-1-1 tape revealed. As the men were leaving, Horn confronted and shot them with a 12-gauge shotgun despite an emergency dispatcher's instructions to stay inside his home.

I thought they were mexicans. Weird for both to be black with hispanic names. Probably from Puerto Rico or something. It is a shame the shooter changed his own life over this forever. In one hand, I would have taking pics. But in Houston, I am sure they are sick of crime in their neighborhoods and feel like if something is going to get done, they better help. (Pasadena is a suburb of Houston 20 mins from the Astrodome and Reliant). I would liketo say at worst I would have kneecapped them and waited for police. Then you have to always look over your shoulder when they get out and fear for your life. That is nice about Texas. Someone can be stealing from your car in town and it might be the last time they crap their pants. Texas is strong on property rights. And the Death penalty as long as this stupid bull crap about lethal injections being inhumane gets worked out. (What kind of crap is that?) I say every murderer should die in the manner that they killed someone. But you say, who would want the job of carrying out the execution in that manner? I say other death row/Life sentence criminals would line up for the job. You don't think and Arian would want to kill another balck and a black would not want to kill a whitey or Hispanio? Screw all those bastards.

Justice served!

The men Horn killed, Hernando Riascos Torres, 38, and Diego Ortiz, 30, were unemployed illegal immigrants from Colombia. Torres was deported to Colombia in 1999 after a 1994 cocaine-related conviction.

seems like the illegals kinda do what they want...not to long ago, we a one kill a couple of young girls here driving drunk....

Yeah illegals do what they want. Take over land steal your gold and ship you to reservations, damn illegals. But i would have to say that the illegals from back then did a damn fine job, the wave of them from the great country below us not so much.
