Thanks for the laugh.

What can I say? What else are you going to label them as? Perfectly normal citizens? Socially-fit citizens?

It's their fault.

Im not a texan but don't worry I am not living in a state of fear. I got my gun 3 feet from me. I don't feel threatened either because somebody would have a deathwish to rob any house on this block. The amount of guns on this block could fill every room of every house on it. You won't see people committing crimes in this little town. But the surrounding towns have crime. We don't have a police force in our town though, nor do we need one.

State police come through occassionally, but anyone that thinks they want to test their luck committing a crime here, be my guest.

Yes because thats the law and one you have to abide by.

The guy who said his jaw just dropped, be prepared to pick it off the floor again with the above ignorant comment.

Well I would prefer that the crimals die than everyone else get robbed to pay their way.

I wouldnt prefer the death penalty for any crime, however. Surprize coming: I dont believe in the death penalty.

HOWEVER, I do believe that if you PUT YOURSELF into harms way by invading the personal dwelling of another, the sanctity of their home, YOU are responsible for your death.

I used to associate with some "not so good" people back in the day that I had met through the punk rock, hardcore, and graffiti scenes.. I know for a fact that if you act submissive to people like that, they'll steamroll you with fear. They have no regard for people or their things. I would be ready, with my guns to stop that threat, even if that means killing another human being. If it was unnecessary, I wouldn't bang out, but if I felt threatened or if a weapon was drawn, I promise you, I would have no regrets taking another life or lives under the right circumstances. The sympathy given to common criminals is beyond me.

I'd of done the same thing that guy did. Of course my neighbors a cop so I really wouldn't have to do this because I'm sure he could take care of things.

If your cop neighbor happens to be out of town, you know what to do.

Doh!

I thought Texans pushed through murdering guns laws and carried guns because they were sh*t scared.

Nah. My bad.

Clearly it is for shooting up rabbits n cans n things that dont move eh!

Right, like the law that says the man was justified in shooting the thieves?

You cant pick and choose here, you just ended your own argument. why?
"because thats the law and one you have to abide by."

Well neither of those 2, so therefore the only other label would HAVE to be terrorists.

Gotcha!

Ha! Almost a one liner!

Oh well, I'm certainly not going to cry over this case. My feeling is do not go out and commit crimes unless you are prepared for the consequences. And when you are breaking into another person house you have to consider that being shot by a homeowner or the police might be one of those consequences.

Damn right.

Whoever plays the role of terror, they deserve to be wiped off of Earth.

Step away from the Michael Moore movies and live life.

Texas is a safe place compared to almost anywhere in the world. I have never been "sh*t scared" in the US, but I would think twice about going to your crazy country. People are civilized and a little better educated in Texas.

Agenda is a little strong, guy. I think any citizen put in the same circumstances should be justified to "act."

Men are breaking into your neighbors house and stealing his possessions. How is one NOT justified to act?

That's not an assumption, rather than an opinion or observation. I didn't say, "He was justified in murdering those men." I said "act." But bend and twist as you may, I have no problem running all three of you in the ground.

"don't worry I am not living in a state of fear. I got my gun 3 feet from me."

Not living n fear?

Gun 3 feet away?

Worried?

You bet!

I agree. One should act, but killing is going far out of bounds. I think we agree on that.

Lol, the murder rate in texas is 5.9 per 100,000
