This is an interesting case from Minnesota. Essentially a man killed two teens after they broke into his home. But he's on trial for murder based upon the actions he took in doing so. Here are two links. The second link is an actual transcript of a tape jurors heard as he talks to the teens while killing them. What's your take on this?http://www.kare11.com/story/news/local/2014/04/16/jury-picked-to-hear-little-falls-murder-case/7792651/http://www.startribune.com/local/256189861.html 4951

I grew up in the area, that is a tiny town too. If you are in that situation just imagine that you will not be in your right mind. First off you have fear of "repeated break-ins". When you finally get the people you probably harbor such hatred that you just lose it. My fellow veterans might know what this is like. 4951

This is my opinion. I think the murder charge is accurate here. First and foremost the teens should not have broken into his home. This man had been burglarized previously (perhaps not by them) and he was tired of it. When he heard the glass break and subsequently confronted the first kid (Nick) I have no problem with shooting him. Had he killed him with the first blast that would have been fine as far as I'm concerned. The issue for me comes with the second shot because Nick was no longer a continuing threat. In regards to the female the same thing applies. Have no problem with shooting her either. However she did not initially die. According to the transcript he tells her she's going to die and calls her a *****, then he blast her again. In my view there's a difference between killing to protect ones home and vengeance. This crossed into vengeance. 4951
