Seen this yet?

Well I guess your allowed to use a "little" force to defend yourself but not alot. The way I see it is their are 2 less criminals to worry about! It's funny how some people ignor the fact that had these two intruders been obeying the law and not commiting a crime they woud still be alive! Though the story is a little strange and the old mans actions questionable, he did not break into their house and shoot them!

Gotta agree.

This statement from the article jumps out at me:

But Liberty Nunn, a Little Falls resident who said she knew Nicholas Brady's older sister, said Smith could have simply shouted at them to stop. She said she hopes Smith goes to prison "for a very, very long time."

"Those are two young lives that were taken," she said. "It's just not right."

Did Liberty Nunn stop to think that these two young people just broke into someone's home, not knowing who - or what - might be awaiting them and they suffered the consequences of those actions?
