I remember when this happened back in 2007. It was only about 15-minutes from my house. Pasadena, TX resident Joe Horn shot dead two thugs who broke into his neighbor’s home.

The Black Panthers led by Quanell X thought they’d march through Horn’s neighborhood and try to intimidate folks.

Suffice it to say that kind of thing doesn’t go down well here in Texas. The Panthers were chased right out of the neighborhood.

A grand jury cleared a Pasadena, Texas, man today in the shooting deaths of two suspected burglars as they left his neighbor’s house — a case that stirred a national debate over whether he was a vigilante or a hero.

For the vast majority of people here in Texas Joe Horn is without a doubt a hero. Horn noticed two men crawling out of his neighbor’s window carrying stolen loot in broad daylight, and chose to intervene.
