So  Mr. Horn get a way with murder. Alot of different people feel conflicted about how this turned out.. I feel like he should be punish, not because he was defending his neighbor, but because he did not act in self-defense. Even cops are not allowed to shoot if a suspect is not armed and is fleeing.. This is the transcript of what happened.. my comments are in bold red. I dont feel like the suspects should have gotten away with stealing, but to kill them that was not right. Material things come a dime a dozen, insurance all that.. I mean we all feel violated when we get something stolen from us but we have to realize that when we die.. naturally of course, we cant take none of that with us.. but if we sit up and kill someone over materialistic stuff we gonna have to live with the fact we took a life.. who wants to spend their life with that on the conscience??

Horn: "OK, he's coming out the window right now, I gotta go, buddy. I'm sorry, but he's coming out the window. "  

Dispatcher: "No, don't, don't go out the door, Mister Horn. Mister Horn..."

Horn: "They just stole something, I'm going out to look for 'em, I'm sorry, I ain't letting them get away with this --. They stole something, they got a bag of stuff. I'm doing it!"

Dispatcher: "Mister, do not go outside the house."

Horn: "I'm sorry, this ain't right, buddy."

Dispatcher: "You gonna get yourself shot if you go outside that house with a gun, I don't care what you think."

Horn: "You wanna make a bet?"

Dispatcher: "Stay in the house."

Horn: "There, one of them's getting away!

Dispatcher: "That's alright, property's not something worth killing someone over. OK? Don't go out the house, don't be shooting nobody. I know you're pissed and you're frustrated but don't do it."   (So he is warned not to go outside.. point blank)

Horn: "They got a bag of loot."

Dispatcher: "OK. How big is the bag?" He then talks off, relaying the information.

Dispatcher: "Which way are they going?"

Horn: "I can't ... I'm going outside. I'll find out."

Dispatcher: "I don't want you going outside, Mister..."

Horn: "Well, here it goes buddy, you hear the shotgun clicking and I'm going."

Dispatcher: "Don't go outside."

On the tape of the 911 call, the shotgun can be heard being cocked and Horn can be heard going outside and confronting someone.

"Boom! You're dead!" he shouts. A loud bang is heard, then a shotgun being cocked and fired again, and then again.  (Chilling, I cant believe he did that)

Then Horn is back on the phone:

"Get the law over here quick. I've now, get, one of them's in the front yard over there, he's down, he almost run down the street. I had no choice. They came in the front yard with me, man, I had no choice! ... Get somebody over here quick, man."

(He had no choice? he certainly did he could have stayed in the house.. plus the men was running not trying to attack him this is not right!! )

Dispatcher: "Mister Horn, are you out there right now?"

Horn: "No, I am inside the house, I went back in the house. Man, they come right in my yard, I didn't know what the -- they was gonna do, I shot 'em, OK?"

(Thats a lie those men were trying to run away who runs up against someone with a shotgun. He shot them because he was mad that they was robbing his neighbor and was almost at risk of getting away)

Dispatcher: "Did you shoot somebody?

Horn: "Yes, I did, the cops are here right now."  ( So there we have it the cops showed up immediately after he shot the guy. If he had of let it be they would have been caught)

Dispatcher: "Where are you right now?"

Horn: "I'm inside the house. ..."

Dispatcher: "Mister Horn, put that gun down before you shoot an officer of mine. I've got several officers out there without uniforms on."

Horn: "I am in the front yard right now. I am ..."

Dispatcher: "Put that gun down! There's officers out there without uniforms on. Do not shoot anybody else, do you understand me? I've got police out there..."

Horn: "I understand, I understand. I am out in the front yard waving my hand right now."

Dispatcher: "You don't have a gun with you, do you?

Horn: "No, no, no."

Dispatcher: "You see a uniformed officer? Now lay down on the ground and don't do nothing else."

Yelling is heard.

Dispatcher: "Lay down on the ground, Mister Horn. Do what the officers tell you to do right now."

Basically he deserved to be punished. When society begins to think they can take justice in their own hands.. then why will we need police, judges, and a jury? We can just be our own public servants!!!
