The homeowner told police the two men said they were police and claimed they were at the home to serve a warrant.
[The homeowner] became suspicious, because, you know, they have a ring camera too, and the suspects were saying they had a warrant, but it was just two people and they’re masked up and no police cars, no lights or anything like that," said Lt. Khan with HPD.
At some point, police said the men shot at the homeowner through the door, prompting the homeowner to return fire.
The homeowner was not hurt in the gunfire, but the two men were both hit and pronounced dead at the scene.
Were they leaving a neighbors house or were they in fact fleeing from robbing the neighbors house.
They had been burglarizing the neighbor’s empty house and were leaving.
That isn’t worth killing over.
I think it is worth killing. The world is a slightly better place for every such person who gets killed.
Stuff is never more valuable than human life, and you have no idea what material conditions led to this behavior.
In a vacuum that is correct. But material conditions must never lead to random act of violence for selfish gains, it frays the threads of society and leads to a worse outcome for everyone. If you are hungry, go steal from walmart, go rob a bank, don’t break into someone’s home, you don’t know (and obviously don’t care) about the circumstances of your victim, so why should a society extend you the same courtesy?
