1. Are you sure that is correct?

Here is what I read in the article:

Horn: "I understand that, OK, but I have a right to protect myself too, sir, and you understand that. And the laws have been changed in this country since September the First and you know it and I know it."

2. It's the same thing. I'm not taking anything out of context. nt

5. I was thinking that it might be a new TX law.

Passed Sept 1.

Hell, it used to be legal (until fairly recently) to kill a man if you found him having sex with your wife.

However, it was not legal for a woman to kill her husband if she caught him with another woman.

6. I don't believe it is. What Horn referred to was September 1st, 2007. . .

the date the "castle doctrine" bill became law.

The incident may prove a test for a new law recently passed in Texas which expands the right of citizens to use deadly force. . . . to protect their own property or to stop arson, burglary, robbery, theft or criminal mischief at night.

His rationale had nothing to do with the September 11 attacks. That date isn't even in the article.

3. The New Pornographers...

It was crime at the time but the laws, we changed 'em, though the hero for hire's forever the same one
Introducing for the first time, Pharaoh on the microphone
Sing all hail, what'll be revealed today when we peer into the great unknown, from the line to the throne? Awakened to cheers after years on the faultline, we are shocked to be here in the face of the meantime
Pharaoh, all your methods have taught me is to separate my blood from bone
It will all fail, feeling what I feel today, when we peer into the great unknown, from the line to the throne
Form a line through here, form a line to the throne
Alone in the chain, it remains to be seen how, how well you can play when the pawn takes a queen now

It was crime at the time but the laws have changed, yeah

4. He was referring to local Texas laws which changed this year on Sept 1st, 2007.

Not 9/11.

7. Need more info to decide.

From what we know, he did indeed go into the front yard and shot two people.

But it takes a whole lot more than that to determine guilt or innocence.

What happened in the front yard?

Did the Burglars charge him and try to take his gun?

Did they see his gun and try to run off and he shot them in cold blood?

I don't know.

Who could from what was written?
