Update added 10/19 (see below)
James Walton has been through a lot recently. The 70 year old senior citizen shot and killed 2 suspected burglars within a three week span at his business and place of residence in Dallas. This prompted a Fox News reporter to track him down and berate him on camera until he broke down and cried.(h/t Malkin, Riehl World View)
The reporter, Rebecca Aguilar, tracked the man down in a parking lot where he was buying a new shot gun to replace the one that was confiscated by police as evidence in the latest incident. From there she followed the man to his car where she stood over him and berated him with questions such as "Are you a trigger happy person? Is that what you wanted to do; shoot to kill?" (video here).
The Dallas police are defending Walton's actions. According to some reports Mr. Walton has made over 40 calls to police concerning break ins.
Police said Mr. Walton is allowed to protect his property. No charges were filed against him Sunday, though the case will be referred to a grand jury, police said.
"He's got a right to defend his property. What gives a stranger the right to go in and vandalize or burglarize his business?" said Dallas police Sgt. Gene Reyes. "He's within every legal right to do this."
Fox News has removed the video of the report and suspended the reporter in response to angry viewer outrage at her demeanor.
Apparently the thought that a person has the right to defend himself and his family on his own property seems to be a foreign concept to some people. The reporter was not merely reporting on the story when she tracked down Mr. Walton, she was accusing him of being a trigger happy person that enjoys shooting people. This is ridiculous. Standing over the man and berating him in such a thug like manner was more than the man could take.
Rebecca Aguilar was just named one of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists' Broadcast Journalists of the Year.

Update (Ken Shepherd | Oct. 19, 15:17): Bryan at Hot Air has a related item excerpting an e-mail that Aguilar sent a viewer upset with her reporting:
A Dallas viewer started typing off an angry email to KDFW-TV’s Rebecca Aguilar even before her infamous story had finished airing. And she actually replied.
Thanks for your feedback.
First of all, Mr. Walton is the one who told me where he was going to buy his shotgun. Though he didn’t want his face on camera, after he showed us the new weapon…. he did want to share his side of the story. He didn’t want folks to think he was some kind of criminal. That’s why he shared his tears, his remorse, and his side of the story. I also reminded viewers that Mr. Walton did not break any laws, because he was in the right. I’m sorry you took my story the wrong way. You didn’t see my story yesterday…when I pointed out that the man Mr. Walton killed had a criminal record involving theft. Rebecca Aguilar Fox 4 News.If we were allowed to show a still from the story (KDFW went the C&D route and got the video scrubbed from the internet almost entirely) I’d show a still of Aguilar standing in the open door of Walton’s car while she badgered him and fidgeted with her umbrella. It’s that picture plus Walton’s reaction, combined with Aguilar’s “Are you a trigger happy person?” line that we all “misunderstood.” It’s all our fault. Mea culpa.
It’s also my fault that I started a new genre of jokes at Ms. Aguilar’s expense too. Bad, bad blogger! Another bad, bad blogger has set up an Aguilar-related poll. Be a Democrat, and vote early, often and long after you die.

October 18, 2007 - 09:29 ET by sarcasmoIsn't this the pro-gun, "conservative" Fox News doing the reporting? (It's almost as if my own experiences with their stealthy but constant pro-big-government agenda have some validity despite the left's allegations of conservative bias, eh?)

Fair and Balanced...........
October 18, 2007 - 09:43 ET by Brilliance"Fair and balanced" doesn't necessarily apply to "local" Fox affiliates.
C'mon - You know that.
Exactly sarcasmo - this is just one of many examples
October 18, 2007 - 10:18 ET by Dee Bunkof their liberal reporting. Sheppard Smith who is on the most has a definite liberal slant. I'd say overall their news reporting still leans left just not as much as the other networks. With the exception of Brit Hume - his news leans right but he's only on for an hour a day.
There are probably more opinion shows leaning right on Fox, but again their edge is nothing like the total domination of the leftist opinion shows on the Networks, CNN and CNBC.
I agree, but
October 18, 2007 - 10:29 ET by sarcasmoI also think the other poster's right about bias problems being pronounced in local affiliates. I can't go into detail, but suffice it to say a California Fox News local affiliate was literally willing to commit FL state law felony (the same statute that got those Democrat school board members from Jacksonville for snooping on Newt Gingrich, actually) in order to try to "get" my company. They failed, naturally, because as non-criminals we said nothing incriminating (what a shocker...) but I still have evidence of their attempt, which they even broadcast once before their lawyers gave them a clue & told them to quit.
They never got into any trouble whatsoever, and they later continued with the biased agenda. I sometimes wish I were more-litigious, but then I wouldn't be me.

You're confused..
October 18, 2007 - 10:48 ET by Sergeant ROCKFNC has nothing to do with FOX affiliates - as the other poster stated.
Additionally, Brit Hume has a 'Grapewine' segment where 'opinions' are given - the rest of his show is Brit reporting the news. Don't confuse one for the other.
Most of FNC's detractors confuse opinion driven shows like O'Reilly or Hannity & Colmes with that of news broadcasts by the MSM in the 6:30PM time slot or the various news magazine programs - apples and oranges.
FNC does a good job of reporting the news - good or bad. Whereas, the MSM has an agenda. Example: Dan Rather didn't mention the name 'Monica Lewinsky'.. for what? A month? I don't recall FNC sitting on the Larry Craig story. NewsBusters, etc. have chronicled this agenda for quite some time now. And I have yet to see any evidence that suggests FNC is campaigning for Republican or conservative candidates as the MSM does for liberals - mainly democRATS.
It's erroneous to conclude that since the MSM is hard left, then FNC must be hard right. News is news. It is neither right or left. If it is presented as such, then it's called propaganda.
Sarge, I'm confused.....
October 18, 2007 - 11:06 ET by BrillianceI am under the impression that since "local" Fox newscasts use the familiar icon - small red stripe base, large blue block middle complete with skyward flood lights, that they must be affiliated with the national powerhouse "Fox News Channel".
Is this not so?
FNC
October 18, 2007 - 11:12 ET by Sergeant ROCKI believe the affiliation is with the FOX network, not FNC. Anyway, given the rogue nature of these affiliates it can hardly be alleged that they are getting their marching orders from FNC.
No confusion there..............
October 18, 2007 - 11:27 ET by BrillianceYou're right.
No way no how do local "Fox" stations take their marching orders from FNC.
Local Fox stations apparently sport a decidely leftward tilt.
I'm not confused Sarg
October 18, 2007 - 11:08 ET by Dee BunkBrit Hume is conservative and it shows in his delivery. It's not nearly as bad as the network anchors who lean dramatically left. He's definitely more even keel and objective than they are.
I disagree that fox does a good job of reporting the news other than Brit Hume's show. Sheppard smith and most of the others are tabloid liberals. As far as political shows, the most balanced one out there is Chris Wallace (though he still leans left).
It's impossible for anyone not to lean one way or the other but Brit Hume (in his delivery of the news not his questions) and Chris Wallace are the best out there. Hume leans further right when he takes on the role of questioner, but again even that is much less skewed than the networks.
Brit is the best
October 18, 2007 - 11:25 ET by Sergeant ROCKThe keyword here is OBJECTIVE. You can't say that about the others. Nor can you say that Brit Hume as an agenda opposite that of his liberal contemporaries.
Sheppard Smith is more weird than liberal. Again, I don't see him or any of the other alleged liberals carrying out a campaign to promote liberalism at the behest of FNC headquarters. And here again, you're bringing up 'opinion' driven shows and comparing them to network news - apples and oranges.
I think it's fair to say that both Brit and Chris asks the questions that need asking and the agenda-driven MSM won't ask them.
Sarge- I don't know what you are talking about
October 18, 2007 - 13:18 ET by Dee BunkI'm not comparing opinion shows to news shows and I haven't said that the networks are objective. How you got that from anything I've said is beyond me. I've compared Brit Hume to the Network News and said he's much better and more objective and I've compared Chris Wallace's show to the opinion shows on the networks and said he's much more objective.
The only points we seem to disagree on is that I think Sheppard smith is a liberal weirdo and you think he's just weird; and I think that except for Hume's show the other NEWS on Fox leans left and is tabloid like and I don't know what you think. I guess you think Sheppard's news show is fine.
Birt Hume
October 18, 2007 - 13:30 ET by Sergeant ROCKWith the exception of Brit Hume - his news leans right but he's only on for an hour a day.
By this, I concluded that's what you were doing - comparing Hume's show to network news which on in the same hour.
My point is that, Brit Hume, regardless of his 'delivery', hardly has a rightwing agenda and does a terrific job of covering news that either doesn't get covered by the MSM or takes an objective look at those that are. Sheppard Smith is an opinion-driven show, so it doesn't matter as far as he's concern.
Brit Hume's show is the closest thing to a 'evening news' alternative that there is at the moment and it's hands-down better than anything else the MSM has to offer.
So we agree about Hume
October 18, 2007 - 13:45 ET by Dee Bunkas I said, there is no way to eliminate bias completely. He does the best job of any.
We disagree about Sheppard Smith, unless it's changed (I haven't watched in a really long time) his was a news show - a very bad news show.

October 18, 2007 - 10:09 ET by iveseenitallI like Fox news, but I hate it when guys like O'Reilly send their attack dogs out to harass people, even if they have done something wrong. This, IMHO, is not the function of a news organization. What's the difference between this and having your government harass you? Is privacy not a right? This stinks. I'd know they'd be arrested , but I'd love to see someone turn around and deck one of these creeps. There needs to be a check on "journalists"; it's out of hand.

October 18, 2007 - 10:35 ET by sarcasmoDo some already-illegal things (which IMO should be punished for a change!) but aren't they and the celebrities they "stalk" (who actually call them up to say where they'll be, but we're not s'posed to know that!) really just part of a symbiotic relationship? And what would such a law look like? Don't like paparazzi? Don't view their tv shows or buy their rags, and they'll go away very soon without any new law required.
It may look tawdry to both of us, but what we're seeing is a relatively free market. The fact that we may think it's idiots, photographing other idiots, and the photos are only sold to other idiots, doesn't change the various idiots' rights to go do idiotic things.

Remember, Bill is not a newsman, he analyzes the news of the day that are worthy to us, but probably not worthy to the leftoid media and their agenda. The abortionist doctor in Kansas was exposed, the city of San Francisco fiasco was exposed, and this case of a senior citizen in Dallas shooting burglars, etc.
The leftist media will not print or report exactly what happened. The reporter shouldn't be taken out, but rather remind her that her job is to report and we, the audience, will decipher.

Understanding that Ms.
October 18, 2007 - 11:46 ET by BeowulfUnderstanding that Ms. Aguilar has an obvious anti-gun agenda, I still find it hard to comprehend why it's so difficult for these incredible nincompoops to grasp that if these two losers (and the 38 other ones who got away) didn't violate another person's property in commission of a crime, they wouldn't have been shot. And if the cops could function in other than a reactive mode, people wouldn't have to defend themselves. Unfortunately, people DO break into other people's property, and cops generally can't do anything until a crime has already been committed. Until both of these situations change, home/property owners will (rightly) shoot and kill criminals.
"Are you a trigger happy person? Is that what you wanted to do; shoot to kill?" It is kind of difficult to "wound" with a shotgun. And someone breaking into a 70 year-old's home/business in the middle of the night isn't there for tea and biscuits. Makes me wonder how many of the previous 38 break-ins were committed by these same two thugs?
As for myself, I grew up being taught that "if you're going to pull a gun on someone, you'd better be willing to shoot them. And if you're willing to shoot them, you'd better be willing to kill them" (and I am) - my father.
Anyone who is willing to put their own lives at risk to steal what I worked for, and possibly willing to hurt or kill me or mine, had BETTER understand that their life expectency is extremely low when they break in to my property. If someone wants what I have, they have two choices:
1. WORK FOR IT!
or,
2. Pay me for it.
Try to take it, the question that begs asking - Is it worth your life?

The REAL Reason for Aguilar's Rage
October 18, 2007 - 12:37 ET by PSPCplThe real reason why she was so angry is that James Walton refused to be a victim. Instead of having to report on the death of an elderly man at the hands of some unknown assailant, the MSM there had to report on a story that showed that the Second Amendment actually works (and in this case saving us alot of money, time, and effort). What added salt to the wound was that the it appears that the burglar was latino.
Three CHEERS to Mister Walton for exercising his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (I will be glad to supply hinm with the the 00 for the next idiot that wants to take him on)! Three JEERS to the reporter for her blatant bias and racism.
Typical lib: do as I say, not as I do (because you know very well that if someone had broken into her home with the intent to commit some heinous crime, had she been armed she would have shot him and without first asking him if was latino).
I'd like to clarify
October 18, 2007 - 12:48 ET by BeowulfI'd like to clarify something I've seen a couple of times on this post: 00 buckshot is not a good choice for home/business defense. #4 steel shot is ideal. 00 is the equivalent of a dozen or so .32 caliber bullets, which tend to punch right through walls and such, thus endangering innocents (while drilling serious holes in the perp). #4 steel shot has several distinct advantages in a defensive situation. It has plenty of take-down power, it has a better shot pattern, walls will tend to stop misses and stray pellets, and the steel shot is better for the environment (wouldn't want that poor burglar to get lead poisoning, would we?).

October 18, 2007 - 16:18 ET by bassndudeBeowulf, 00 buck is the prefered shot for hunting larger game. Velocity of 00 buck from a 12ga is from 625fps to 800fps, with a magnum load. Penetration into gel is around 21 inches at 9 feet. Not the wall penetration you might think, pattern is smaller and after passing through a body, walls are not an issue. There is only 8 of those in the shell. #4 buckshot, you have a wider dispersion and 34 of those pesky little varments running out the end at 600fps. More pellets, wider pattern, more misses. My personal favorite is the #1 buckshot. 16 pellets, 610fps, wider pattern but still small enough to get them all into the target(? do we really call them targets:-). Yes I want him to get lead poisioning.
