Misleading Headlines - Because Unbiased Reporting is a 19th Century Idea

The following headline doesn't tell all of the story, and even distorts the facts. Man allegedly stealing property shot dead by Michigan homeowner, police say

Two people discover a burglary-in-progress at their home and call the police, and they wait outside for police to arrive.

Prior to the troopers arrival, police said both homeowners encountered the suspect outside their home.

One of the homeowners shot the suspect, identified by police as 28-year-old Jeffrey Horton, of Decatur. Horton died at the scene after both the homeowners and police attempted life-saving efforts.

They didn't shoot someone because they were stealing property. They "encountered" a thief on their property. My guess is there was a confrontation, because the homeowners were not arrested.

And self-defense is a human-right.
