Texas man cleared in killing of possible burglars

Associated Press
Jul. 1, 2008 12:00 AM
HOUSTON - A Texas man who shot and killed two men he suspected of burglarizing his neighbor's home was cleared in the shootings Monday by a grand jury.

Joe Horn, 62, shot the two men in November after he saw them crawling out the windows of a neighbor's house in the Houston suburb of Pasadena.

Horn called 911 and told the dispatcher he had a shotgun and was going to kill the men. The dispatcher pleaded with him not to go outside, but Horn confronted the men with a 12-gauge shotgun and shot both in the back.

I'm thinking of building a cabin in a low income area of Texas. A few weeks out of the year we could all meet up there and leave our cars unlocked and kill some criminals. After a couple years, crime would go down, property values would go up and we could move to a different slum. Win win if you ask me.

Sometimes the justice system really does work.

I sure wasn't as confident as you were. It get more liberal here all the time.

Houston are the one's who decided that the nut-job who drown her 5 kids should be treated for depression in a country club instead of frying her ass.

Good call Grand Jury.

If you ever heard the 911 call it is very comical.

Yeah, the 911 call was posted on the drive following the shooting. Lot of folks here bagged on the guy..........called him a murderer, said he should fry.....blah blah blah.

I got pegged as a right wing nut job that day for saying not only should he not be charged.........but he should get a fucking medal.

I'm glad I live in an area with people like that guy.

Well, you are a right wing nut job, regardless of this case.

Horn: He’s coming out the window right now, I gotta go, buddy. I’m sorry, but he’s coming out the window.
Dispatcher: Don’t, don’t — don’t go out the door. Mr. Horn? Mr. Horn?
Horn: They just stole something. I’m going after them, I’m sorry.
Dispatcher: Don’t go outside.
Horn: I ain’t letting them get away with this s--t. They stole something. They got a bag of something.
Dispatcher: Don’t go outside the house.
Horn: I’m doing this.
Dispatcher: Mr. Horn, do not go outside the house.
Horn: I’m sorry. This ain’t right, buddy.
Dispatcher: You’re going to get yourself shot if you go outside that house with a gun, I don’t care what you think.
Horn: You want to make a bet?
Dispatcher: OK? Stay in the house.
Horn: They’re getting away!
Dispatcher: That’s all right. Property’s not worth killing someone over, OK?
Horn: [curses]
Dispatcher: Don’t go out the house. Don’t be shooting nobody. I know you’re pissed and you’re frustrated, but don’t do it.
Horn: They got a bag of loot.
Dispatcher: OK. How big is the bag ... which way are they going?
Horn: I’m going outside. I’ll find out.
Dispatcher: I don’t want you going outside, Mr. Horn.
Horn: Well, here it goes, buddy. You hear the shotgun clicking and I’m going.
Dispatcher: Don’t go outside.
Horn: [yelling] Move, you’re dead!
[Sound of shots being fired]

Nut job maybe......but far from right wing.


The only problem I have with the whole thing is that.........he actually gave them a warning before shooting.

You're a pretty shitty liberal, you know that?

You're supposed to feel compassion for the felons, and lament the fact that they were deprived of the opportunity to be rehabilitated by the justice system.

This exchange is golden.

Dispatcher: You’re going to get yourself shot if you go outside that house with a gun, I don’t care what you think.
Horn: You want to make a bet?

think of how bad the situation would have been, if it was the neighbors kids and a friend sneaking out of the house for a midnight run.


you will ALWAYS loose that case in the socialist state of maryland, you CANNOT shoot someone in the back, even in your own home

I love living in Texas. Good for Mr. Horne.

My dad shot some guys robbing our store one night. They were running away and was a little too far for the shot-gun but he did wing one of them. They caught them and sent them to prison. When the deputy came out he just told my dad, "Next time, Mr. England, be sure you kill em. Dead people cant sue."

Well..........if the midnight run was in the middle of the day.............and they neighbor's kid just happened to be an illegal immigrant, and always carried a big bag of household goods with him when he snuck out.

Quanell X tried to make it a race thing, and showed up with a small posse at a Horn support rally.

Dig around youtube for quanell X in Pasadena, and you can see how well that worked out for them.

Quanell will be holding a press conference today about it with the girlfriend of one of the criminals. You know she is going to try and sue him. It's comical to watch her stand there and talk about how he was a good person that never hurt anybody.

He won't hurt anyone now, that's for damned sure.

who the fuck are you to judge me and/or my beliefs?

Just because you have a different perspective does not make you any more right than me.

And apparently, the second quote is simply beyond your comprehension.
