Personally, I understand their emotions, but they actually did deserve it.
Family, Friends Of Dead Home Invaders Say "They Didn't Deserve To Get Killed." - Bearing Arms
The widow in the home had been burgled twice before, and the news article states that fingerprints from one of the deceased burglars was matched to one of the previous break-ins. They were killed as they terrorized an elderly woman, yet again.
Its sad that these young men were predators. Its sad that they grew up in a sub-culture that feels it is okay to steal from others. It is very sad that his sisters have to bury their brother.
But all of that was very preventable.
These young men made the conscious decision to become criminals. They made the conscious decision to endanger and terrorize the lives of law-abiding citizens by breaking into occupied dwellings.
The elderly brother and sister inside the home had reason to fear that these two home invaders were a threat to their lives. They had a legitimate right to self-defense that includes the right to use deadly force.
