I feel bad for them. I think it is sad when a young person wastes their life with stupid crap. Although KHOU is just reporting a story - I don't know if they actually have played the perp sympathy card here. As they definitely have in other cases.
I really feel for the home-owner - I didn't feel comfortable in my own home for a while after it was burglarized. I can't imagine how uncomfortable I would feel after shooting people coming through my front door. And then having to clean up the mess / repair the drywall damage & whatever else.
Damn shame his shot weren't a little better and this could have been over. Tax dollars to be spent and probably law-suits pending; let alone permanent social security payments due to permanent disabilities & millions of tax payer dollars spent on medical care (socialized medicine for criminals) and rehab.
@redneck roy:
yes they wasted their own lives. But they ruined many. I grew up on a hard knocks road. An old friend asked me, what happened to my ba**s?
I told her I still have them. I keep them in my left pocket and only bring them out when I need too.
I played hard and I pushed boundaries but I did know right from wrong.
And I never hurt anyone else.
My grandfather told me when I was five ( he ran back to lock the door) when I asked why. It's not to keep bad people out, it keeps honest people honest.
Even at 5 and a smartarse child I replied. An honest person wouldn't know if it was locked or not. They wouldn't just walk in.
These girls broke windows.
I walked in on two guys and they finished wiping me out. Clothes dishes everything. I took a solid door off the hinges with one, trapped one in. He had a choice. Try and get past me in a rage with a broken wine jug and a pair of scissors or jump out the second story window. He took the window when I ran at him swinging my arms.
By the time the cops got there and my biker friends his pal drug him off. My boyfriend showed up with a truck and moved me out.
I really could not stay there. I lived alone and was 21.
Things change people and they don't ho back.
I really hope they do not try to charge or sue this man. In fact I hope they throw the book at them. And everyone sues them.
