Nice mugshots. Did the "victims" plan on beating them to death in the name of justice? Those don't look like hog-tying injuries.

They got what was coming to them, Karma at work. I don't agree with what the victims did, but the suspects were in the wrong and got what they deserved, a good heaping dose of it for that matter.

Why are you puting victims in quotes?

Hell, say they put up a struggle. I have no sympathy for anyone who purposefully goes out to commit a crime against another person and has it all blow up in their face.

I'm sure if that was your wife or girlfriend he was feeling up, you'd be just dandy with it aye?

I don't want to say the muggers didn't deserve this. But out of the residents, I don't think all seven kept their heads high once the situation turned around.

+1

The muggers are lucky to be alive, IMHO. I`m not one for vigilante justice in most cases, but if you abuse a woman or a child you deserve a lot worse than just jail time.

I shouldn't have answered this thread. I'm all for justice, and completely against free violence. If I could take control of the guys and tie them up, I'd do it without an afterthought, and I would do whatever is necessary to tie them.

Now if I was standing in front of a hog-tied man, I can't say I'd hit him. At this point, I have the choice of being the wiser one and have him feel like he was the only one in the wrong, or punch him and go as low as the low-life he decided to be.

I wouldn't have even tied them up if it was my house. I'd lose it and stop dropping punches far more than what they did.

On a related note, I always like reading the Armed Citizen stories the NRA puts out in American Rifleman. Big +1 for putting those who have no respect for other people or property in their place.

That went over the line at feeling up the girl he was robbing. 2 unarmed guys v. seven? They're lucky they're still walking.

they're lucky that they didn't have guns in the house. If you enter my house threatening to shoot me, you will be shot.

I couldn't disagree more. Those injuries look entirely consistent with hog-tying.

I might, might, question the force returned if they had realized the gun was not functional, and then put a cap in Jasmine's ass. Short of that, thy got some them some proper justice before the taxpayers are required to pony up for the lesser kind.

I'll be honest, when I saw the picture of the two guys, the location of the incident, and the headline... well, it fit with my experiences with Alabama.

If the dudes are guilty, then I've got no sympathy.

They got what they deserved, and should feel grateful to be alive.

The only thing that concerned me in the story was when the one victim noticed that there was no magazine in the weapon, thereby thinking it wasn't loaded. That reasoning could have been a fatal mistake. There very easily could have been one round in the chamber.

Granted, the perp could have only shot one of them, but that would still be one too many. I'm glad it worked out the way it did, but the victims were still lucky that there wasn't a round in the chamber.

Well, thanks to those who didn't reply with personal attacks. I understand my opinion isn't popular and I'll voice it no further.
