and it happened in thier front yard, the 2 guys were trying to grab him cause they knocked him off his bike with thier truck and he was crawling back wards on the ground, so his sister ran inside and got thier mom, and when she came out the guys took off, my nephew is ok, but the cops came 2 hours later, and my sister in law said she was gonna shhot them. the cops told her if she did she wouldbe in jail. i really dont understand why, if it was on her property and shes trying to protect her child, shed be sittin in jail, they told her, if your gonna shoot, shoot to kill, theres 2 sides to every story. the system here is so messed up.

This one is really hard to understand.
There was a case of the robber that was bitten by the homeowners dog. The robber sued the homeowner for his medical bills and won! How fair is that...the homeowner got a dog to protect him and the dog did what it was supposed to and it back fired.
Same goes if a robber slips and falls in your house, he can turn around and sue you.
I don't get it, but there is a law about this...maybe you can get some answers at your local library or see if an lawyer can explain it to you.

Im confused.How did they knock him off of his bike in his yard with their truck? And no you can not shoot someone on your property if they stop comitting a crime when they are caught doing a crime.That would be kind of like a cop saying freeze or I will shoot and the suspect freezes and the cop says what the hell and shoots anyways.So when the men stopped trying to get him and ran your sister had nothing to protect at that moment.Now if she came out and they continue to get the boy and ignored her then yes she could shoot.

They have to tell her that!!
If anyone was trying to take my kids and I had a gun handy, You know I will take them out so that they can't hurt my kid or any other kid ever!! Two guys against one woman when they are trying to kidnap her child? she does have the right to defend her and her son's life with lethal force.
It was a precautionary saying that the cops said. I'm sure that they felt the same way as your Aunt. The system has it's flaws but tell me another way we could do this?
