You yhink the shooter over reacted?? What if you came home to find that a burglar had broken into your house and ripped the wiring out of the wall and was still there? You would probably feel the same way. This guy was just defending himself and his property and took the law into his own hands, if he hadnt the guy would have been long gone by the time the sherriffs dept. arrived. Why should you let someone get away with stealing because the court systems are not going to do anything to them besides slap them on the hand and turn them back loose. Do you think that he might learn a lesson this way a little better than a slap on the wrist??

Maybe the man was hungry? Sorry, but I think the shooter may have overreacted just a bit. I understand the right to protect your property, but some people are just plain trigger happy. Maybe I'll be proven wrong when more details come out.

I guarantee you he wouldn't have been shot if he'd been acting legally. Think about it...if he was stealing copper wiring, he's a meth head.

Thanks for realizing you don't shoot anyone running AWAY from you.

Latest update says he was shot twice in the back and once in the foot.
Kinda knocks the wind out of the "charged the shooter" claim. Backing up is not the preferred method of "charging at" someone.

Who's to say that he didn't charge the man and when he seen he had a gun then turned and ran?
