He was also high at the time and when the person confronted him he stepped toward him so he was shot dead from 3 shots. The police didn't charge him with any crimes. Also had a neighbor who owned a gas station and was robber at gun point and when the robber left he chased him outside and shot him in the back while he was running away. He also wasn't charged.

I'm not sure what to think of this case. It sounds like the kids were breaking into homes for drugs and may have even been using while breaking in. They had probably also broken into other homes before. Ive seen people using heroin and oxy before and they feel invincible. That's probably why the kid laughed after already being shot.

Do I think he went overboard? Yes. Just shoot then and call the police. But I still believe they had getting shot coming to them.

Interesting, my understanding of the castle doctrine is that is only applies in a vehicle or in a house/building/etc. I THINK Texas may have looser requirements.

If someone comes into my house uninvited with a box of donuts I shouldn't shoot them despite perhaps being legally allowed to (not a direct parallel but hopefully the point that just because you are allowed to do something to someone doesn't mean you should is demonstrated).

First, they didn't deserve to die. The punishment for B&E is not and should not be death. That can happen during the course of someone reacting to the break in and it is sometimes justified, but it isn't automatically so simply because there was a break in.

Second, the execution part is definitely a problem.

If you ask some on this forum it would be impossible to murder someone who broke and entered. Which is simply ridiculous.

Now of course these idiots could have avoided it by not breaking into a place, but just because they did that illegal and stupid thing doesn't mean they deserve whatever happens to them next.

If you execute someone, which is what it sounds like this guy did, you should be tried for murder.

Now, when he shot again, execution style, that is just going wayyyy beyond his legal capacity. I get that the law says the guy has a right to shoot and kill a trespasser, but to execute them...damn
