Default I've got a shotgun, do you want me to help?

Bejesus
Guy phones police to say there's a robbery going on... you know the score (audio only)
I don't know if he did the right thing, but I know I'd have done the same.

i think what he did was stupid, he may now go to jail for a very long time, down to stopping a tv dvd player or whatever getting nicked, unless the robbers pulled a gun on him?

In the US he's allowed to do that. It's perfectly legal to shoot a robber. Amazing!

And so it should be.

There is loads of things like this in america you hear it all the time.

Why shouldnt you be able to guard you hom, property and possesions.

America have the law on this bob on, if someone is on your property....'get the gun theres a *insert what ever here* in the yard.

i thought it was ok to defend yourself, in your home.

but it was not his home, and he was not defending himself (unless the robbers had a gun)

Can be a bit awkward if you are the postman,paperboy or delivery driver though.
The problem is they tend to have a culture of shoot first ask questions afterwards.Ask anyone who has had contact with Americans in military operations.
I dont have a problem with guns,but they should be kept on ranges and not allowed into the wider society at all,as far too many people are far too dim to use them properly.

They say crime doesn't pay....

But that is just plain murder and he should go to jail for a very very long time and then be executed. End of.

thats pretty disgusting that you actualy hear the shots as he unloads a handful of shots into 2 blokes stealing a bag of stuff... america is gun crazy, you cant let everyday folk have them, because everyday folk are often complete numpties

i think he should definately be on a life sentance, i dont agree with capital punishment though, that is also horrid
