Say what? "I hate you because I robbed you and you put me in jail." Think about how stupid that sounds. I couldn't care less if my thieving neighbors hated me or not, if you break the law you really have no right to be pissed off at someone else. To hell with those kids, they need to be taught a swift, harsh, and tough lesson... If that involves them going to jail, so be it, they made that bed, they can't bitch that it's not to their liking.

Little hope for shitbag junior, but maybe the other kid will turn his life around and choose not to go down that path.

Pressing felony charges SEEMS like the right thing to do . . . but if they're 13 year olds who live on the same block as you, that complicates things a bit.

This will make the kids' families, friends, and associates hate him less, and be less likely to do things to his house and vehicles in the future. Besides, the felony burglary probably would've been reduced to misdemeanor criminal trespass with no jail time and they'd just need to see a probation officer once a month and have their Youthful Offender record sealed. If he likes the house and wants to keep living in that neighborhood, I can understand why he did what he did. NOW he just needs to lock his fucking doors when he leaves the house and let his dog out of the kennel crate.

By 13 most gang bangers have been in the mix for 5 years. 13's the new 21. First as look outs (FIVE OH) and runners, graduating up to B&E's, ATM attacks and high end vandalism. By 18 they've done 2-5 in juvy, if not tried already having 1 charge as an adult.

Excusing the crime / criminal especially after the "Racist" accusations demands shows the apple has not fallen far from the tree.

Property crimes, excepting arson, which do not immediately threaten your or another person's life do not justify ending someone.

WTF?

The OP says 17 and 18 year old.
Burglary is burglary whether the door is locked or kicked in.
They also didn't rape the cat or flood the basement - so what?
Where does it say 13 year old living on the same block as the victim?

WTF Over?

sure, when you're dealing with someone stealing a toolbox out of the back of your truck. these were two intruders inside the man's home. that transcends "property crime."

He was not present when they entered and therefore not endangered. He chose to enter prior to the Police arriving. How exactly does one defend one's actions in this case, if he "put them in the ground?"

It's quite simple--they were in his house. Please show me where there's an exception for defending yourself in your house because you weren't there when someone entered it, because I'd really like to see that. Please, not some internet BS, but actual legal authority in Colorado that precludes personal defense in your home because you were not there when someone broke into your home.
