You have the right to defend yourself in your own home even if that means having no choice but to kill the intruder. This was just a deranged person playing judge, jury, and executioner for sport.
That audio track is one of the most horrifying things I've ever heard. Not recommended.
The right verdict was made here.
Part of it is tribalism. We are empathetic creatures, but we also have biological predispositions to throw empathy out the window when it comes to the "other"Indeed. But man what the heck is wrong with people ? Like how can a human being be so evil ? It just boggles my mind.
My thoughts exactly on the matter.You have the right to defend yourself in your own home even if that means having no choice but to kill the intruder. This was just a deranged person playing judge, jury, and executioner for sport.
It's not really like that at all. No one has to break the law to go to a movie theater. These kids had to break the law in order to spring his trap.
I remember this news but I had never heard the audio, holy shit.

He didn't want a peaceful ending, he wanted blood.Couldn't he have set them up and just call the Police to come over with sirens off to make the arrest?
His plan could have had a peaceful ending.

So you recognise cognitive dissonance works for the victims families, don't you think it applies to the guiltys? Perhaps you have a little bit yourself at this moment.Another disturbing aspect of this case are/were all the people who supported this guy. Saw a special on the case and he had quite a few friends who claimed he must have just been under extreme stress; complete denial of how bloodthirsty he was.
On the flip side there was a lot of cognitive dissonance from the friends and family of the deceased acting like they were angels but that is expected and only natural.

It's hard to say how he was feeling.
But he should have called the police and tried to stay away
He moved his car so people would rob him while he was there with a gun and trapsI don't think it's correct to say he lured them in at all.
He was prepared. That's a different thing. It's not like he picked them out, and then somehow tricked them into coming into his house. They did that themselves. Being repeatedly robbed is a massive psychological violation. After going through that, I am not that shocked by his actions. I think many people would like to kill their thieves.
He may be deranged, but maybe the thieves made him deranged. And is this man even deranged or is he a product of American gun culture and laws? The police is trained to empty their guns on a threat, not shocking that an ordinary citizen would think doing the same is fine on someone who breaks into your house.
I mean American culture pretty much says, if you break into someones house, you're fair game. If you attack a cop, you're fair game. If this guy wasn't talking to himself, and recording it, I don't think many would have a problem with the rest of the details, including awaiting thieves with guns in a dark basement.

He moved his car so he could be at home in case people robbed him.That's not proof he wanted to be robbed. Being prepared for a bad event that you know is going to happen, is not the same thing as actually creating this bad event . No one wants to be robbed.
Luring them would mean he actually selected his prey and tricked them into deciding to choose to rob his house. Perhaps, I am nitpicking, but I don't think so. I think there is distinction between the motives. Luring implies he was just bloodthirsty and wanted to kill, and this was his chance, rather than this being a case of a homeowner believing it is okay to kill thieves.

Friends are gonna look for circumstances that justify their crimes,

Everything he did is like the opposite of what you'd want to do to be prepared to stop a burglary. You don't unscrew the light bulbs, you turn your lights on. You don't move your car, you leave it in the driveway. Criminals will generally stay away from a home if it appears to be occupied because that's an awesome way to get shot or go to jail.
