Friend walked in on a burglary.

Wtf! He should have pressed charges after he shot them. JK! At a minimum he should have pressed charges.

How did they get in if nothing was broken? Did he inform the 911 operator or responding officer that he had the BGs held at gunpoint?

Do I know this person?

Most alarm companies ask. Mine knows what sensor is tripped and asks if they should call the cops. I've forgot to lock up the dogs and they tripped the main level motion. So I told them it was the dogs since no exterior doors or glass breakage was detected. Plus I was just down the street.

P.S.

He needs a new dog.

House broken into twice. No charges pressed. Sounds like your friend gets what he deserves for B&E #3

Your friend needs to be slapped, and needs to get a new dog.... This only taught the kids that they *can* get away with this shit. He did no one any good. It was probably the same people who did it the first time. I also wouldn't be surprised if his house was hit a third time at this point, especially by the kids that know he won't shoot them, and know the dog is worthless. FAIL

Clearly a 2nd degree burglary took place, did the victim not want to press charges or did the police make that decision?

He should have filed a police report and requested the DA to file charges. He could have then worked with the DA for diversion if they were eligible. Also covers his ass more if the parents come back to sue. Been down this road for different but similar situations. When you use any force CYA. What we think is cut in dry proper may not be in a judges mind. Hit both bozo parents in the pocket book. Diversion is not cheap that is if they are eligible. If they cant get diversion then they are douches eho have made other mistakes. Id suspect the kid with the dad throwing out the racecard falls in the douche catecory. Dad has given him excuses for his criminal behaviour.

i dont think its too late to file charges

My guess is the kid whose parent called him racist is the leader and probably the older one. The younger one is probably the one that started crying and was just trying to be cool. This is the second time his house has been broken into since he's lived there. I'd be looking for a new place to live.

^^^^^Response # 7.^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm confused (Surprise) He's a gun owner, has a security system THEN DOESN'T WANT THE HASSLE OF COURT AND STUFF??[facepalm]Might want to fill him in on what happens If he needs to use that shootin iron of his. Doesn't want the hassle he might as well cancel the ADT and sell his gun. He ain't seen hassles yet. ESPECIALLY now they know he has guns.
