You mean the "human lives" of these two ciminals (illegal aliens that should not have been here in the first place) http://www.diggersrealm.com/mt/archives/002599.html
(WOW, mugshots,hmmmm)

Yes, my 5 inch, black and white TV with no screen and smokes when plugged in is worth more than their lives.

Right on. They should've tried to make an honest living. I mean, you break into a house in Texas, what do you expect?

In that case I feel sorry for you. Illegal aliens or not is not the point. In my world I would not kill anyone for pinching a telly, after all you can buy 'em in Wal-Mart from about $70. $70 for a human life is cheap. Very cheap.

So if we're talking a flatscreen, or maybe a DVD player (built into an Aston Martin), then it's more acceptable to you?

If any scrote laid his mucky mits on my DB9 I'd ring Dave up pronto.

Why is that Dave, do you have some fetish about living next to someone who says they made a mistake and if they had the chance again they wouldn't have done what they did ?



So you have this old fella who thinks he knows the law but doesn't , who goes out and executes two criminals after the police have already turned up .

It was , and that is what the ruling is about , he was in danger once he went out with a gun and started a confrontation .
A great verdict , people are now allowed to shoot in self defense if they instigate an action where they can feel threatened .
But look on the bright , side he was lucky .... lucky the police didn't shoot him when he walked into the street with a gun when they were on the scene looking for dangerous criminals

:
Not a fetish, just an understanding that the law enforcement in this country is slow to react, court systems are filled with weak justice against criminals, and happy that these two wastes of human skin will never commit a crime again.

You can't be serious. If not they really shouldn't have been there indeed. Protecting private property is one thing but I really wouldn't want to be the type of person that shoots someone for a tv. And that isn't for the mugshotboy's sake.

I guess I shouldn't look suspicious in Texas. Someone might shoot me and say I was a burglar.

I got an idea, don't commit crime, then you'll just have to worry about the criminals killing you.

And the moral of the story is: Don't steal other people's crap. Justice prevailed.

I'm not going to bother replying to DevDave's nonsense, because he's just doing his usual trolling. But PJ, I ask you honestly if you really believe this was justice. That it's okay to murder people who are stealing from you, even if they clearly pose no thread of harm to you. And if you answer is still "yes," then my next question is how far do you take it?

If this scenario had been the same (i.e. criminals fleeing from the scene with stolen goods), but instead of a good old boy from Texas doing the shooting, it was a Korean grocery store owner in LA, and intstead of a couple of illegal Mexicans doing the running, it was a couple of middle class 12 year old kids who were shoplifting some candy for the thrill of it, would you still say justice had been done?

Goofball, that's a very different situation. Here we had two adult career criminals, robbing to enrich themselves. A far cry from two kids robbing candy for the thrill of it.

Even then, though, I wouldn't be too sad if people were shot while looting.
