What's wrong here?

Just talked to an online friend. And, he got charged for shooting some kid. Got his gun that his father gave him taken away. His dad died in '03, by the way. He has spent tens of thousands of dollars for a lawyer. Has to take time away from his family and fields to attend to this matter. All for shooting some 16 year old kid.

Now I know you're like, hey wait a minute. He should hang for shooting a kid. Laa tee daa dee elfin da....

I've already heard the back story, before charges were brought against him. Sooooooo....
Let me set this up for ya here.

My friend is laying in bed at about three in the morning, and he hears something in his house that isn't normal. He knows it's not his dogs, or anything else that is normally supposed to be in his house, no relatives visiting. Nothing of that sort. So, he does exactly what I would have done. He grabs his gun and goes searching his house to see what the hell has gotten in. Now, living in the country, I'm sure he was expecting something more along the lines of a oppossum, or raccoon. But, no he finds this kid in his kitchen, and shoots him.

Now the governement is pressing charges on my friend for shooting him, because the kid didn't pose an immediate threat. Now come the hell on people, If this kid was in your house and you didn't know him or what he was planning on doing in your house, I know you'd feel a bit threatened by his prescense. Especially if you didn't know if he had a knife or a gun on him or not. It was found that the kid didn't have a weapon on him, but I say who cares. He broke into his house, he should pay the price. And, I'm not talking about court room justice. You still get robbed, or hell your sister, wife, sister, cousin, or daughter gets killed, and then you sit in jail because you shot the kid that did it???? WTH???

Why should we show criminals mercy when they choose not to show their vicitms mercy. And, why are we enacting laws to restrict the free and honest men and women in this country from protecting themselves. Why do we have to wait seven days when the gang bangers don't? Why do we give a theif parole and send him back on the streets with no way to make a living? Why do we show a killer mercy by lethal injection, with medicine to stop the pain and suffering in the name of being humane, when they didn't care how their vicims felt or if they felt the pain of the bullet going through their lung, or the knive severing their carotid artery, one left to suffocated to death the other to bleed? No mercy for the victim there.

America. Yes you. We're going to have to pull our heads out of our asses, and quit letting the criminals and ten percenters make the rules and laws. There is no way that a view that has less than sixty percent of the populaiton behind it should become law and/or catered to.

Here are three example of what I'm talking about.
 First. I walk into just about any place of business here in Oklahoma, and I see the no gun sticker on the door? Do you really think a criminal will change his mind and not bring his Uzi sub machine gun into the restaurant or grocery store, because there's a sitcker on the door? Hell no he won't.
 Second. I saw a story on the news a few years back, and I can't seem to find in on the net, but when I do, I'll add it here. But, it was about a man that broke into a restaurant to rob it, and then got stuck in the ventilation shaft. The owner of the restaurant found him and called police, after he was freed and released from the hospital, he sued the restaurant owner for damages, for pain and elfing suffering?! What the hell is wrong with that?
 Third. Nothing criminal here, but... In the McDonalds coffee case, that whole lawsuit was ridiculous. Basically, if she had put the damn cup of coffee in the cup holder instead of between her knees, she would have never gotten burned that bad. Case closed! It's the courts that let cases like this into the court room that help make it easier for criminals to sue and get away with their wrongdoing. I don't think this should be tolerated. Here's a link to the Wikipedia page for this suit   ;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald's_Restaurants

Let's get put the criminals where they belong, either behind bars or six feet down. If you commit a crime you should have no rights to shit. The only right you should be allowed to have, is covered by the Sixth Amedment. And, I believe that a person should have a fair trial. I say let's give them a fair trial, and when convicted.. Hang 'em high.

The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution states;
 A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infinged.

The Sixth Amandment;
 In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and plublic trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which the district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the acusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
