Recently, a local pastor was awakened at 5 am by a primitive alarm he had set up inhis church, which was well away from his home and which contained nothing of value.
Instead of calling the police, he went over with his .44 magnum. The two guys tried to get away--as they ran from him--they were outside, he was inside--he shot both of them IN THE BACK.
Both died, one of multiple gunshot wounds. In no way was he endangered.
Last news, he was indicted on two counts of manslaughter and two counts of negligent homicide. If convicted, he faces a max of 60 years.
Many people condone this. To me, someone gets in your home, fine--cap their ass. But to shoot someone in the back and heinous and cowardly.
Your thoughts?
