They weren't shot down by the man because they were on his porch selling girl scout cookies. They were on drugs, had previously robbed another residence and were in the process of doing the same to his.
I hate all the "they were athletes, they were popular, every one loved them, they had so much energy, they were working towards their future" crap. No need to dance on their grave, but to pretend like they were stand up individuals is a laughing stock.
This.
Who cares if they were high. I've taken plenty of drugs and yet, I don't ever remember conducting a home invasion. Sadly for these kids, the most likely consequence of entering a stranger's home at night with a ski mask on your head is death. It is not being hit in the face with a flying paint can or tripping on Micro Machines and being tied up until the cops come, as some here would have you believe. Just "subdue" them lol. I agree guy should have stopped once they were visibly down, but it was in the dead of night and perhaps they twitched (as if they were perhaps reaching for something) or he thought they might have weapons, so in that case I think it is OK to "take them down."
This guy will get murder, however, for taking them to his basement. That sealed the case.
