I Told Ya So: Texas Man Cleared for Killing Burglars

[Tribesman]

I was lying on my stomach in the road.

Well boo hoo for you , Its lucky it wasn't some poor old granny run down by this thief simply for being behind the car while you are trying to play the hero for a few dollars worth of crap .

Escalation can work out quite well.

Escalation can work out really bad , thats why the police and bank staff are trained to not bloody escalate the situation

I may as well die exacting revenge or preventing a crime is all im saying.

Build yourself a batcave or take your superhero crap back to the costume shop

No chance, Euro bed-wetting types. I burst my pimples at you and call your batcave request a silly thing, you tiny-brained wipers of other people's bottoms!

You are just jealous that I am some sort of mini punisher and you are a coward who sprinkles his own pants.

I wave my private parts at your aunties, you cheesy lot of second hand electric donkey-bottom biters.

I know, I know, TSM's post bears more than a minor debt to Holy Grail, but still -- this is a brilliant moment. It's writing like this that keeps me coming back to the org long after i have given up every other message board. bravo, good sir, bravo!

Yes, but:

Let us not get out-of-hand in the personal insult department, regardless the cleverness of the writing.

Filed under the "I wish" folder:

-I wish the shooter had not shot the guys in the back. That's not 'the cowboy way', and he knows it. "Buck fever", indeed.

-I wish the Grand Jury & Prosecutor had filed charges of at least "public endangerment", so that the good people of Texas could scrutinize the case particulars. They've (Texans) been denied that due process, IMO. If I had pulled the trigger (even if I believed it a righteous shoot), I would expect no less.

hmm... I can see where the "they were thieves so they deserved it" people are coming from... but somehow i keep wondering if it could have been handled differently... if Mr. Horn just didnt want them to get away couldnt he have just fired a warning shot or tried to shoot them in the legs...

p.s. i have never used a firearm and do not know how much more difficult it is to shoot at the legs of running man... also i am asking this because in India the police are by rule asked to required to fire a warning shot and then try to shoot at the legs unless they are in danger of losing their lives...

I'm fairly sure he did shout a warning.

...with a shotgun.

Just lead him a little bit more than you would a walking man...
