Damn... I think it's great they got caught, but driving over their vehicle means (to me) that he wanted to kill them... Should he be arrested for fighting back? Hell no. Should he be arrested for trying to kill them? Yeah. Too bad it didn't happen in Texas. He could have shot them all inside the building and been well within his rights to protect himself. But even in Texas, chasing them down and crushing them is a little illegal. -=RB42

Justice is served. The guy should probably go to jail for running over their car. Here in Arizona it is legal to use deadly force to protect your property but I think the whole hunting them down thing is a bit much.

Justice is served is right.
He saved the taxpayers two jail cells. Too bad he didn't get the other two.
F'em, I say.

Yeah, that's been all over the news here.
Apparently the guy in the Hummer was "so worked up during the chase he didn't realize how much damage his H2 would inflict". I heard he was trying to pin them in the car so they didn't get away. He pinned them all right!
F*ckers deserved what they got.

I hope this guy doesn't get jailtime. He probably will though. And get more time than the scumbags who robbed him. Stone

I think he should be given a medal. That is a regular Hummer BTW, not an H2.

Holy Shit!!! Someone used a Hummber for more than getting groceries! This guy by far is my new hero. Someone needs to make sure he gets a bad ass lawyer and keep him out of jail.

There's no way in hell he should be arrested. I'm sorry if this offends, but if you break into my house and come at me with a knife, I'd come back at you full force with 5 shells from a 12 guage. "Equal Retaliation" goes right out the window when you're the one being threatened.
Hell, I was REALLY REALLY CLOSE to letting the dogs out to "greet" the magazine salesman who refused to leave my front porch after I'd politely refused to buy anything THREE times yesterday.

The people that were polled and thought he shouldn't be arrested, will be the same people on the Grand Jury that will choose to endict him or not.
If he is arrested, it will only be after a Grand Jury indictment. The police will probably send the case to the prosecutor with no recommendation and let the Grand Jury make the desicion.

Okay, you have problems. Having dogs attack a desperate magazine salesman is wrong. Use the hose. Second, they were running away. No longer a threat to this guy. He tried to kill them in his anger, plain and simple. So a simple theft deserves a death sentence? Anyway, I bet he caused more damage on his H1 then he would have lost in the theft. I hope something happens to him, if not jail time probation and some anger management classes.

I hope something happens to him, if not jail time probation and some anger management classes. So because they were running away, the guy who was wronged lost all rights to persuit? This is the thinking of the majority of this country and it worries me. when the wronged becomes the bad guy for standing up for himself.... I remember a while back I got flamed for stating I would shoot someone that broke into my house... I was made the bad guy because I stated that I wouldn't have cared if I shot the criminal in the back.... Point is, when does the individual stand up for himself. I bet you if more people did, then crimes would drop like bricks in a pool.

I bet you if more people did, then crimes would drop like bricks in a pool.When does the idea of vigilantism have a breaking point? Sure, the guy has every right to pursue . . . does he have the right to murder? I thought the whole point of "proper force" was that the force applied was appropriate to the situation . . . and a bunch of guys running away with some money (wouldn't the business owner be insured for robbery loss?) doesn't seem like a need for attempted murder . . . On the other hand, I hope the guy doesn't get arrested. But I don't like the idea that other pinheads might try the same thing . . . Hate to get my brains driven into the A-pillar of my truck because Bubba in his diesel-powered F-350 decided to "pursue" the little shit who cut him off three blocks back . . . PNUT: You have dogs? I've only seen you talk about that vicious little Yorkie ankle-biter . . .

"Equal Retaliation" goes right out the window when you're the one being threatened. That's in your house, though. Do you think, if someone broke in with a knife, that you'd follow them out the door, down the street, through the neighborhood, then shoot them with a shotgun? Betcha you'd be charged with a series of crimes so fast your head would spin . . . "Self-defense" and "retaliatory hunting" are very different . . .

Not here they aren't. If someone is stealing your property, you can kill them. You will go to jail, and have to get a lawyer, but you will most likely get off. Even if someone is in your house and you shoot them, you will probably get a trip to the pokey, and some nice lawyer fees.
