Just listening to the blurb put out by the news media, it appeared the man was there to get something that was stolen from him. Every station and report I have listened to seem to be on the negative end of the poll.

My question is. Say this was a 50 year old man, or woman who found out someone stole something valuable from them, and they knew where they were. Would the news media be as biased in reporting that an unknown person broke in and physically took back their property?

Authorities appear to be powerless most of the time to protect those who are victims of these types of crimes, even if the accuser knows who did the crime, many times they go unpunished.

In my opinion, if the offense started as an act of theft on the other parties part, the fact that the original owner used "non-lethal" force to regain possession of his property with or without the presentation of a weapon, he should go free.
