[edit] Diego Ortiz Hernando Riascos Torres section

Was wondering if perhaps a section (not an article) should be made of the major players, particularly these two since they were apparently part of a major crime ring and a string of robberies in the areas before they were killed. --Hourick (talk) 15:11, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

So long as they are well sourced I think it would be a good addition. will381796 (talk) 15:59, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

The two were not a part of a major crime ring. That is not true. Look over the articles again. see stephanie story —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.241.99.48 (talk) 05:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nice Job

good job on the cleanup on this article. It's much, much improved since last week. Xdeserted (talk) 07:54, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey thanks! Really I'm surprised it's not getting more attention, it's such a fascinating issue. That tape really is riveting. DBaba (talk) 01:39, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree, good job on my bad initial article on it. Wanted to at least give it a quick start and hope people would start editing this instead of just adding onto Quanell's page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hourick (talk • contribs) 14:01, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, this needed an article so good work on that. I'm surprised it hasn't got more attention yet since it's been covered on several television shows and in the news. It might help to find ways of linking this to other wikipedia articles, maybe ones that have lists of current events and so on. Another possibility would be to submit this to appear on the "Did you know" section of the main wikipedia page. That has generated traffic for past articles of mine. Don't worry, there will be more to come on this as the trial develops. Do we even know what the charges against Horn will be? Deatonjr (talk) 04:26, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citations needed

The statement that most Americans rightly consider Joe Horn to be a murderer needs to be cited. If this statement is backed up by a survey, the numbers should be added in also. If this is a statement of opinion it needs to be removed from the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shuanmo (talk • contribs) 19:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interesting Article

Here is an interesting Wikipedia article that may be relevant to this story. Make My Day State -- Maybe Texas should be added to the list. Deatonjr (talk) 11:03, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I'm surprised it wasn't the first state listed on there. --Hourick (talk) 14:48, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

After reading it a bit more closely, I'm not entirely sure that it would be appropriate to put Texas, particularly after rereading this quote:

refers to those states in the United States that allow the lawful occupier of a premises to use violent or deadly force against an intruder no questions asked.

Of course ANY shooting would be under investigation even if it was obvious the homeowner was using it for self defense. While I'm not saying the scenarios has NOT happened (since we're dealing with the human condition), this has a serious bias.--Hourick (talk) 15:21, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article Pull

I've noticed the article "Man who killed suspects shot them in the back, police say" no longer appears on chron.com, or the link is incorrect. Deatonjr (talk) 15:15, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

took care of the link with another active article. Thank goodness for Chron's auto search feature. --Hourick (talk) 15:32, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tie in to previous home invasion

I ran across this article in today's Chronicle which I think is relevant, but for the life of me, I dont' have the braincells to figure out a way to sit it in properly. Any suggestions? LinkHourick (talk) 04:01, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
