2 teens killed after allegedly breaking into home;

[Hmac]

How does one gain the right to kill someone?

"Has the right to use deadly force"???? Sound better?

The relevant statute in Minnesota:

609.065 JUSTIFIABLE TAKING OF LIFE.

The intentional taking of the life of another is not authorized by section 609.06, except when necessary in resisting or preventing an offense which the actor reasonably believes exposes the actor or another to great bodily harm or death, or preventing the commission of a felony in the actor's place of abode.

Pretty touchy subject around here.

Curious about that. Divided opinion or?

This is a text book example of what NOT to do.

This will not end well for him.

After rereading this thread and the new(er) updates about the case, this cannot be overstated. Definitely a case of what NOT to do.

They were worthless thieves. Either he had the right to kill them or he didn't. I don't care much after that.

How does one gain the right to kill someone?

Easy.
1. Join the British Secret Service
2. Complete the training and become a full agent with the double-aught designation
3. Receive License to Kill

They were committing a felony. He had the right to defend himself up to taking the life of another. He did it wrong. Like I said thou. I don't care. A few more of these cases and you'll watch home break ins drop huge.

Some people have the opinion that the 2 kids "got what they deserved" for breaking in. Others say he should have called the authorities when he heard the glas breaking and that the threat was removed after the first shot.

Has any one heard what happened with this case?

It's moving right along...

Last I heard he was out on bail.

Meshbesher will undoubtedly make this case very interesting. If he can get his client's statements to the police in the basement of his house (and prior to the Miranda reading) thrown out, and if he can get the alleged recording of the event thrown out, this guy just might walk. Meshbesher will make this a national case, so buckle up for a wild ride once the trial begins.

Meshbesher is Minnesota's modern equivalent to the Lawyer Jaggers in Dickens' Great Expectations.

If a man was nearly guilty on the face of the evidence presented before the court, Jaggers was for him.

It should be an interesting case. The two little brats were white so the race hustlers won't be rearing their ugly heads. So it will be the Minnesota anti gun tree hugging granola eating maggot infested Birkenstock wearing nuts who will be raising a stink.

....the Minnesota anti gun tree hugging granola eating maggot infested Birkenstock wearing nuts...."

Would they be on the 'pro', or 'anti' side of human rights?
Your post is unclear to me.

Wow, someone has issues. You do know that no one is forcing you to live in this state right?

What I am saying is that without race involved here, the attention will be focused on the evil guns. Whenever race is involved every other issue takes a back seat because the race hustlers are so good at intimidation tactics. So the nuts that I mentioned prior will have center stage. And these two little pop culture driven brats will be made into victims by the media.

And I don't have any issues except with condescending arrogant wise guys like you.

Without the gun, the two may have only committed multiple felonies....again.....

Wow, that sounds an awful lot like a personal attack, are you unable to carry on discourse in a civil manner?

[LePetomane]

"Wow, someone has issues". You don't consider that passive aggressive phrase a personal attack?
