Street justice or self-defense? In beating home intruder, Baltimore man finds himself before a judge

As Jordan Brown puts it, he didn’t want to hurt the man, just teach him a lesson. Teach him that he shouldn’t be passing out drunk in strange apartments. What if Brown’s girlfriend and young daughter had come home first? When the intruder tried to run, Brown gave him “a couple knuckles,” as he...

"Mr Brown came home and encountered a burglar in his house. He was justified in using deadly force ."

I don't disagree with anything except the home owner being charged in the first place, but, it never hurts to be careful what you say when people are listening.

Brown would tell police that he “beat his ass,” punching and kicking the man, the officer wrote in charging documents. When the struggle was over, the man rested on the floor against a wall, his face cut and a knot swelling above his eye. Outside the room, Brown called 91

it's shameful that the p***ycutor didn't.

i wouldv'e loved to see the judge's face when he realized what was really going on.

Even in the most anti-gun Southern State the right to self-defense is strong.

Great example of a (very) over-zealous prosecutor. This is why local elections matter.

The defendant also should have kept his mouth shut with the police. That's probably at least 25% of why he was charged.

Since they aren't putting criminals in prison any more in some of these states, I would guess that more and more people will look to render their own justice.

i discharged a firearm at a would-be home burglar then called the police. one if the responding officers jokingly informed me that if i were to hit him, to drag him inside my front door so i wouldn't be charged.

i told him i don't want that mf's blood on my carpet. he said odds are i would be charged. i told him that i'll explain it to the judge and if he doesn't understand it, the **** him too!

the honest citizen works too hard to stand back & watch some lowlife just walk off with their paycheck.

Two fantastic insights!

After any incident where the cops are now asking questions just remember:

STFU, when you think you should say something STFU.

For all those reading along, please do not follow the advice of this officer. Altering the physical evidence of a crime scene isn't going to earn you any favor with prosecutors. In fact, it's a terrible freaking idea.

There's a whole lot of that going around right now, especially in Dem run cities.
