I am fairly certain that Joe Horn has a spine. if not, how was he able to stand and walk outside to shoot the aforementioned illegal property relocaters???

A man needs killing and you think you're the one ordained to do it, you look him in the eye when you pull the trigger on him. Otherwise, you're a low down, spineless murderer.There is a horde of people giving lip service to justify the Joe Horn shootings. How may could really look 'em in the eye and make that call? Even Joe will tell you now, don't do it.

I hope you don't actually have a CHL because you seem to be the type that would hesitate because you'd be more concerned about the attacker than yourself.
Start watching video of police officers getting killed. You'll see a pattern that the killer played non-chalant and passive right before they turn and shoot.

Everyone has the right to decide when it is proper to use deadly force. Its an individual choice when to use deadly force. most of those choices are neither right or wrong. I would not condemn Joe for using deadly force when he did. However could any of us condemn him morally if he walked away, or never went out in the first place?

I can think of several situations where I would hesitate and put my self at risk. I'd rather be killed myself than to be responsible for killing an an innocent human.

The one that stands out the most for me is the case of Jose Campos Torres. Now, Torres was no saint, with a rap sheet five city blocks long. HPD cops threw a handcuffed Torres into Buffalo Bayou in May 1977 obstensibly to see if he could swim. Torres failed the test and drowned instead.

What were they thinking? Probably that it was OK.

Speaking of, can anyone point me to a website detailing the thugish nature of HPD in the 70's-80's?
