"Texas’: Woman fatally shoots home intruder," with alternate title.
page: 1share:
The title of an article on the NY Post reads,
That’s just Texas’: Woman fatally shoots home intruder.
May I suggest an alternate title?
"Woman raped and murdered by home Intruders in California."
The title reads like it's mocking Texas as some kind of violent throwback gun culture. Fact is, this woman was able to protect herself and would have likely ended up a victim if she'd been in a place where she had not been allowed to own and use a defensive weapon.

in ohio if you are threatened by an intruder aiming a gun or other deadly weapon you are allowed to kill them. But if there is a way to avoid that then you are to avoid it: one because killing is bad, and two you dont want me the media to see that you did that. If the media did see it you would not be trusted by as many people and there is a posibility that they could take you to court.

First off, it's the Post, which leans right. Secondly it's a story straight from Fox News and thirdly, it's taken from a quote:
I don't think they were mocking Texas. I think you might be a bit... sensitive.

Cathy Hanks, a neighbor, said it’s not surprising the woman fired her pistol when she saw a threat in her home, explaining: “That’s really how we are. That’s just Texas.”

Did you even read your own article?
It was a quote Her neighbour said
It's not mocking Texas at all. It uses her quote to get the point across that Texas is a place where you're likely to get fired at if you trespass on another persons property.

Yep.
I'm sure my wife would do the same thing.
Don't break into our house. We ain't snowflakes. Violence begets violence. I would say on behalf of my wife that Texas is Texas. Don't touch my wife or family stupid.
my kind regards ballistically,

Moral of the story : don't break into houses and you won't get shot .

You are on point.
OP got triggered and didn't comprehend the article fully. It's literally supposed to be taken the opposite way. It does read either way your mind wants you to though. But we here at ATS are not just reading headlines are we? Hehe

In Michigan it's home invasion, car jacking, rape, robbery and any type assault with deadly weapon. Not if you see them running away, or see them in your house or out in your garage etc.
There are few... very few exceptions...

Here in Texas....now y'all.....we don't shoot unless they didn't smile....
They have to smile at us.....or bhamm.....that's how we tell who to shoot, and it makes for a friendlier state
Everyone I know, their wife has a 44 magnum with a 6 inch barrel in their purse or in their bra holstereditby]edit on 2-8-2017 by GBP/JPY because: (no reason given)

Studies show that less crimes are committed when the criminals are shot.
In North Carolina the criminal bought you the right to shoot them "unannounced" when they decided to come into your home without your consent.
I.E.....if you wake at 3:15 am and there's a guy going thru your stuff anywhere within your home, or just standing there smoking a cigarette...you can
shoot him "post haste". Unfortunately I know all too well the fear of a home invasion and having to shoot another human being....but shoot & kill him
I did. Also shot at the 2nd man that was standing by their car in my driveway. If my state did not have the gun laws we do dealing with your home,
business or property. I would damn sure move.
In N.C. within your vehicle you are "expected a degree of safety " while in vehicle with doors locked windows up. If criminal is trying to get to you or say a road rage incident, can't use lethal force until your "expectation of safety has been broken" I.E. window broken, then you can shoot the person after you. IMHO: I wouldn't live in California if it was free and I was treated like royalty.
