Here's what the DA had to say:

But how could this be? What about all those here who were emphatic that what he did clearly constituted murder? [:D]
Musta been the "Needed Shootin' Defense!"
QUISELING X, or what ever his name is, is just posturing for the civil suit yet to come.
Musta been the "Needed Shootin' Defense!"Sometimes there's a lot to be said for this standard.
Would you have been upset if a neighbor had done the same to your burglar(s)?
HUM!

Who is Quanell X?
By Owen Courr?ges
In the wake of Quanell X's much-publicized arrest for evading arrest, many of you are probably wondering, "Who is this Quanell X guy, anyway?"
Every Houstonian has probably seen Quannel X on the news at some time or another instigating some kind of protest. He's commonly called an "activist," although his credentials lend themselves more to the characterization of "hate-monger." His official position, however, is that of National Informational Minister for the New Black Panthers, a redux of the radical 60's group.
If you want to make a case that monsters are not born, but made, then Quanell X will provide you with some valuable data. You see, Quanell Abdul Muhammad was born into a stable household on December 7th, 1970 (Pearl Harbor Day) in the City of Angels - Los Angeles. His parents were both members of the Nation of Islam, and both held down good jobs. His mother was a teacher, and his father owned a small business. All seemed well.
The dream came crashing down when Elijah Muhammad, the founder of the Nation of Islam, died. Major changes were forthcoming.
Imam W.D. Muhammad, Elijah's son, took over and began making 'reforms.' Among these was repudiating some of the racist overtones to the organization, especially its anti-Semitism. That was all well and good, but then he endorsed polygamy. This particular moral shift is what tore Quanell's family apart. His father brought his mother's best friend home to become his second wife, and his mother would have nothing of it. She abandoned the Nation of Islam along with their Muslim family name, and returned back to their 'slave name' - Evans.
The Evans family also abandoned Los Angeles, moving eastward to Houston. Young Quanell eventually became a drug dealer, starting out with marijuana, and then moving up the proverbial ladder to crack.
One day, however, Quanell X had a revelation upon seeing a speech by Louis Farrakhan, now the leader of the Nation of Islam. Farrakhan appealed to Quanell's deep-seeded prejudices. He largely rejected Muhammad's path of moderation, preaching a vitriolic race-hatred. For the youthful crack dealer, it was a very appealling philosophy.
Upon joining the Nation of Islam, the newly-dubbed Quannel X quickly rose to become a spokesman. However, his over-the-top racist rhetoric continually got him in trouble. At the Gary Graham execution, for example, he said to Houston-area blacks that "f you feel that you just got to mug somebody because of your hurt and your pain, go to River Oaks and mug you some good white folks." This was not the kind of publicity that the Nation of Islam wanted, so they kicked him out.
Not long after that, Quanell X joined up with the New Black Panthers, where he's basically been ever since. Yet despite his past and his current affiliations, Quanell remains a disturbingly influencial person. He's won kudos as a valuable voice in the community from City Councilwoman Ada Edwards. For a while, he was on the state payroll thanks to State Representative Ron Wilson (D-Houston). He even spoke before the Houston Area Young Republicans on one occassion. Political kryptonite he isn't.
Perhaps with his arrest, Quanell X will finally become the utter outcast he deserves to be.

No.
...and put his head on a pike pole at the front gate. [:D]
Quanell X is a community activist trying to better his people,so if they can steal more they live better. He heads up the new black panthers,I remember the original black panthers,they were just the nicest people you could meet. Unless it was in a dark alley or on a deserted street or if you were outnunbered by 10 to one. Great people, pillars of society. This guy must think Jackson and Sharpton are getting to old for this stuff.
Ever notice how televison shows and movies out of Hollywood always portrays racists as being white guys? I mean it is totally one-sided. They just love the Quanell X,s and Malcolm X's, and Louis Farrakhan's, and Jeremiah Wright's, and __________ ! [:D]

Good for Mr. Horn, and he would be welcomed as my neighbor any day.[;)]
Don't TELL me that there isn't SOME justice left in the world !!
God bless them Texans !!
Those two got what they deserved.
So, in Texas, if it's night time, and a 14 year old kid is stealing apples from your neighbor's tree, you can whup out your 12 ga and blow his stealin' * away. No problem, no charges, no conviction.
Joe Horn is a Texas hero.
and we need to give that stinkhole back to Mexico.
Joe Horn got off because, in Texas, what he did was protected.

Big difference in a kid stealing apples growing on a tree and two adult males breaking and entering while commiting burglary.
Don't do the crime and you wont have to worry now will you.

His wife gave the command, but she wants a new flat screen first, preferably from one of the Vidor boys:

PLEASE come to my house first...
No lawyers or judges, just plain old folks.
I'm glad he got No Billed. Every law abiding citizen should shoot at least one burglar in their lifetime.
Eventually we might get em all.

Perhaps you should enlighten yourself with the facts of the case prior to condemnation. The undercover LEO onscene actually solidified the ruling by stating that the pair was considerably closer to Horn when he shot them than they were when he told them to stop. It doesn't matter if he shot them in the head, foot or back - fact was, they came at Horn and he shot them after he told them to stop.
And if your last comment means you won't be coming to visit anytime soon, we will dilgently keep the stinkhole fires burning....

No difference under Tex-* law. Kid stealing apples at night is fair game. Shoot him in the back, get off scott free.
What a stink hole.
All I'm hearing is some sort of clown punching sound.

Yes, but Mateo, you know full well in that shooting the homeowner had a valid Texas Hunting License. However, since he wasn't in season, I do think the homeowner was assessed a minimal fine, and the apple tree kid was confiscated and donated to a needy family....
