Farmer Charged With Shooting Thief
It is an outrage that this fellow is being dragged through the court system. All he did was defend his property the best way he could. It is different in the country than in the city where police are only minutes away. There is no effective policing out miles away from the urban centers and farmers do need to be able to protect not only themselves but their property.
And what about the two that got away. They will never be found and the only way the third guy will ever be brought to justice is the farmer did what he had to do.
