I Told Ya So: Texas Man Cleared for Killing Burglars

[Lemur]

Sometimes I just have to whip my hairy little lemur hands in the air and scream, "I told you so!"

A Texas man who shot and killed two men he believed to be burglars while he was talking to a 911 dispatcher won't be going to trial. A grand jury on Monday declined to indict Joe Horn, a 61-year-old computer technician who lives in Pasadena, Texas, just outside Houston. [...]

Joe Horn: "I've got a shotgun; you want me to stop him?"

Dispatcher: "Nope. Don't do that. Ain't no property worth shooting somebody over, OK?"

Joe Horn: "Hurry up, man, catch these guys, will you? Because I ain't gonna let them go. I'm gonna kill him."

Dispatcher: "OK, stay in the house."

Joe Horn: "They're getting away!"

Dispatcher: "That's alright."

Joe Horn: (Shouts to suspects) "Move, you're dead."

Three gunshots can be heard on the tape. Both suspects were shot in the back and were pronounced dead at the scene.

Now who was it that was declaring that this man would be convicted of murder, no question? Stand up and be counted, so's I can score petty points of "I'm so right."

-edit-

Since this thread has gotten longish, here's the audio of the full 911 call, which got posted somewhere on page 3 or 4.
