If the man had not started destroying property and behaving like a nutcase this never would have happened. Note to people who are stupid enough to engage in foreign travel: If you happen to have a problem and are surrounded by individuals too lazy to have learned the universal language oif business don't start destroying property and acting like a nutcase. Particularly if you are a larger than average size man. Human lives tend to be determined 10% by what happens to you and 90% of how you react. You can be a victim if you choose, your spouse might benefit from it when you get your ass killed.

If he had Joe Horn as a neighbor he would be alive today.

Joe took two career criminals permanently off the streets. That helps society and the cops.Yes, it is a good idea to make sure they are dead.

We have the right to attempt to stop those in the act of committing a crime. In pretty much every state we have the right to stop them with force if they respond to our defense of law with aggression. In Texas we can blow them away if they are stealing our property and, in some cases, the property of others. An armed citizenry aids the police it does not replace them. The fact we have cars does not mean we should get rid of buses.

I cannot see a philosophically consistent argument that allows a woman to hire a hitman (a doctor) to kill the unborn child and allow the action of another to be charged with murder for killing the same unborn child. The most he should be charged with is assault on the woman given our current abortion laws. Thank God for abortion. Otherwise Al Gore would be President.

It comes down to whether you want to leave yourself at the mercy of others or whether you take proactive steps to prevent potential problems. If I was going to Poland I would have a pocketbook English/Polish translator at the least. I would also learn certain stock phrases by heart. It comes down to individual responsibility. He was a big guy. An irresponsible eater. Clearly irresponsible in at least one other area also. Personal irresponsibilty killed him. Fortunately, there are still billions of human beings left.

I think if you are too stupid to understand English you should at least behave yourself when confronted with authority. I am certain you are the kind of limp wristed internationalist, anti-American liberal the foreigners love. There is no need for Americans to learn another language. Unlike European countries America is pretty large and one wrong turn is unlikely to land you in a foreign country. English is the language of business. It pays for foreigners to learn it. TO SUM IT UP THE FAT POLLOCK SHOULD HAVE BEHAVED HIMSELF. Typical pollock spent ten hours trying to communicate when he could have googled a Polish/English translator in 20 seconds.

If ya live here speak English--don't expect America to adjust to you. It seems like most of taser fatalities occur to the obese. My bet is most of them would have had a heart attack within a few years anyways.

Never bought in to the it is good for a kid to have a pet croak line of bull .

They were black and hispanic. I am pretty certain they could both speak English.

My Dad had two pet goats when he was a kid that pulled him around in a wagon. Then one day things got tough...the goats ended up in the freezer.

They are now claiming that the neighbor was Hero Joe's Dad.

You don't bring a machete to a gunfight. The fact is 150 to 200 blacks are murdered everyday. Mostly by other blacks. And all you here complaining about is some white kids noose prank from the so-called black leaders.

He had the perfect right to defend his neighbor's property. He also had the right to self defense if the criminals threatened him. What set everything in motion was the burglary.

The initial move was when the two scumbags started burglarizing the neighbor's home. Joe showed restraint. He called the cops first. He had no obligation to do so.

That is not the issue. You have the right to attempt to prevent an ongoing crime.

Your math skills are not real good.

I estimate 10% of cops are egomaniacs who took the job so they can throw their weight around. This cop is probably one of them.

It ain't a good thing. However, I have never seen a case where a cop tased someone who did what he was told. Save your disagreemnt for court. Dumbasses tend to put themselves through unneeded pain.

In that case, the smart thing to do is go to court and claim the ticket was improper. If the cop screws up on the ticket it makes it easier to get the case dismissed. Tasee boy was a dumbass.

I think there is a civil remedy available in this case. This is one case where the parents should sue.

I voted 127 times myself. I need to get a life.

Actually Joe's lawyer is claiming Joe did not say "Boom. You're dead". but "Move. You're dead." I need to listen to the tape again. Governments are formed to protect life and property from external and internal aggressors. Burglars are internal aggressors government should put few limits on what force a citizen can use to prevent a burglary. Just listened to the tape again. It sounds like move not boom. Big difference.

That would have made Hero Joe a pussy and a bad neighbor.

Did you happen to read the line above what you marked in red? (2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary: The key word is reasonably. Yes, you can shoot the thief off your bike. You have a right to protect your property. I realize you have no respect for private property.
