Burglar's family awarded $300K in wrongful death lawsuit
Mudinyeri:
I don't feel sorry for the burglar either but, if you're going to carry a gun, you need to know the law. In Texas, you can defend your property with deadly force. Not so much in Colorado. The shooters are fortunate that they didn't end up in a murder trial.
SBarry:
The state should pay the judgement. The property owners saved Colorado tax payers millions in incarceration fees and attorney fees for the tweaker.
Where did they put that shovel?

In Texas, you may use deadly force to protect property after dark, IIRC.

this is what makes owning a gun for defense of self family and possessions almost not even worth it. you protect your family house and belongings only to have them striped bare by the courts? might as well let the robbers come it smack you and your family around then take everything, at least the robber will leave after. the courts and government won't stop. its sickening how the government wants the criminals out there to justify the money we pump into their police anti drug and law makers. protecting the people my ass. i feel sorry for the brave men and women of law enforcement having to answer to these scumbags and ****y laws.
