I"m torn on this. I remember when this first happened with the 911 tape being released. He was repeatedly told not to go outside. What if the cops showed up as he walked outside with a shotgun? I bet he'd be dead, the crooks get away, and everyone gets pissed at the cops for shooting the "good guy."

If it was his own home, I think this wouldn't be an issue. And if he did go outside to confront the men, and was charged, threatened, or whathaveyou, then he'd be justified. But I don't think they even knew he was there. In this case, I think calling 911 was enough, keeping the cops updated on what he sees/hears, and if they did flee, which direction, what they might have looked like (even approximates would have helped). But at the same time, no one knows if they would have tried to hit his house next, especially if they had any idea he was watching...I dunno, I'm torn. Overall, I'd say he went too far...but should he be sent to prison for it? I dunno.

What I do love, though, is one of the crook's fiance saying "This man took the law into his own hands. He shot two individuals in the back after having been told over and over to stay inside. It was his choice to go outside and his choice to take two lives." So it's ok for her fiance to steal to pay for their wedding, but when he gets caught in the act by someone who happened to have a gun, it's the other person's fault?
