I'm sure the home owner felt violated after the first robbery. When you get broken into, you really don't feel safe the next day. You are all shaken up and stuff.. a terrible feeling to not feel safe at home. At least he got his feeling of safety in his own home back. And the death of some scumbag who doesn't deserve life is a small price to pay. If he hadn't done it, that dude would probably have come back again, and again, and told his criminal buddies to go for a share too. I was especially pleased that he screamed of fear, and felt the anguish he created for so many people. In those few minutes where his fate was sealed, he felt the horrible pain that he caused to everyone. Karma is a bitch. That's a lesson no amount of years of jail time could have ever taught that delinquent (sp?).

I saw this on the news lol. Everybody was talking about it. No love for the criminal at all. If at my house it would have been a shot gun blast. I cant believe that there is any question of prosecuting the johns hopkins student. He was completely justified in defending his property and probably didnt intend to kill the guy.

I'm from Baltimore and hear the updates of the story all the time. This kid is fucked.
1- He left the safety of his secured home, walked across his yard to the garage, and then entered the garage where he knew he would find nothing but trouble. If the garage was attached this would be different, because then it would be declared part of the house. 2- He didn't lock his garage, opening himself to the possibility of something like this, if not welcoming it. I know the neighborhood. It's a place where if you don't lock doors and set alarms you are going to have problems. 3- Witnesses to the incident reported hearing the student command the burglar to get on his knees, there were no sounds of scuffling, and then a horrible scream. That doesn't sound like he was in much danger from the unarmed man to me. Don't get me wrong. If this guy was in his house, game on. If it was me I would do what i had to. Also, the kid was supposively trained with the sword, so he knew the damage it would inflict. But when he left his secure, safe house, that is where I think the kid made a dumb decision. He didn't go out there to scare the guy off, he went knowing no good was coming of him walking out there with a samurai sword, as opposed to waiting in his safe home for the police. |

Not every state affords its citizens that right. Apparently, Maryland is one of them.

lol yes I know. We all cant live in texas or west virginia. In maryland the criminals get better rights then the honest citizens. I dont know if its political correctness or stupidity or what. But we are barely allowed to defend our own lives, let alone our own property that we work for.

I just feel like I should have the right to defend myself and my property. Why should a criminal get to come and take or damage my personal stuff? I dont get it. If the criminal takes the stupid risk of breaking into somebodies property, then he must take the risk of dealing with the consequences.
Just a few years ago horse thieves were hung. Start killing the home invaders and the home invasions stop. Maybe i biased since a thief brutally murdered my uncle by stabbing him with a nail in a board over 200 times. Maybe if that thief thought he was going to be chopped up with a sword, my uncle would still be alive. I have no sympathy for criminals who get caught and suffer the consequences. I live around baltimore. Thieves rob, they rape, they murder women and children, so I dont care if one got chopped up. You can barely walk out of your home around here even in the nice neighborhoods. Its got to end. I work hard for my property.

Still, the criminals get so many chances, to rob and murder and then get released from prison. Good people should not be punished. The ninja was not going out looking for people to kill. He caught a thief and may have taken it to far. But with so many constant murders and thugs around here, there is a point where it gets too much. I had to chase 3 guys out of my property the other day who were trying to mess with the back door. They ran from my guns. I did not however order them onto their knees like the ninja did, and then kill them.

If someone is breaking into your detached garage, I'm pretty sure that you can infer they aren't looking for someone to murder.

what is to stop him from coming a third time? and a 4th? the guy should abandon his garage to some thief? You'd just watch casually as your garage is being ransacked until the police finally finish their donuts? I don't know about you, but response time is pretty slow. In Montreal, someone tried to break into our house. The alarm company called the police, my parents (who were out of town and thus their phones were off), my brother who was in a movie and so his phone was off, and finally me. I was on the other side of town. I had the time to run to my car, drive to my house, and the police was still not there. The first thing I did when I ran in? grabbed a sword and looked for possible break in locations/hiding spots. The police station is a 10min walk from my house. It is a local station in a relatively quiet/rich area. Turns out the guy couldn't get in finally. They never caught him. Next day, my neighbors got burglarized at 3pm in the afternoon. That month was a crime spree in my neighborhood (TMR for the montrealers).

The guy should not "abandon" his garage to anyone. He should not go from his house with a weapon, into his garage, instigating violent action. The laws here in Texas are very different. In Texas, we can use deadly force against trespassers. This goes back to the cattle theft days. The police could not stop cattle theft, so the legislature handed property governance over to the property owners. I still wouldn't risk my own life for some personal property. I have insurance. If my house was broken into more than once, I would highly consider moving. |

Also, I think you'd have a hard time getting a jury to convict this kid when you say "he should not have left his home and went to the garage to instigate an incident" especially after he's been robbed previously. I think any jury made up of layman will understand that if you've been robbed prior, then you'll probably be likely to take quick action the next time you see it happen. It's only natural. And not everyone has the insurance or the luxury of moving, as you stated, after they've been robbed more than once. Last edited by DenverJayhawk; 09-18-2009 at 12:48 PM.. |

Dude. It's Baltimore city. I live in the city. This means a nearly all black jury. Juries in this city are insane and come damn near protecting criminals. If the kid is Asian (not being racist, just and extremely high percentage of Asian students at Hopkins and the samurai sword thing) he is screwed.
