Community Activists Are Demanding Charges Against Vigilante

Houston community activists are demanding charges against a man who shot and killed two burglary suspects in Pasadena.

On Monday, they held a protest in front of Joe Horn’s home on Timberline.

“Mr. Horn did not have to kill those men,” said Quanell X. “We believe that Mr. Horn became judge jury and executioner at the same time.”

Horn’s actions were recorded during his call to 911.

Horn claims the men he shot and killed had busted into his next door neighbor’s house.

The shots he took followed repeated warnings from the dispatcher not to go outside.

“Had this black man been on the phone the same way, he would be under the jail and not see the light of day,” said Quanell X.

Robert Hammons lives in the area. “I think they’re the ones turning this into a racial matter, it’s not racist.”

Another neighbor said the shooting had nothing to do with race and that Horn was only trying to protect his family, which he considers to be this entire neighborhood.

But Horn’s actions have ignited a criminal investigation, and could cost him his freedom.

Yes, I do believe that his actions were that of a vigilante. If any of my readers disagree, please do so respectfully. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
