I guess most people would think of you as a sociopath/psycopath with that statement.

Does that law only count on your private property, or can you also shoot a pocket thief who stole your wallet on the street if thats what it takes to recover it?

Well let's wait and see who backs you up on this one, we already can see one person who'll be in the tank for you here appeasing muslim terrorism...

Why irrelevant? Seems to be no sense of guilt about needlessly taking another's life if the individual feels justified and the peer group rationalizes it.

Right this thread seems to show those outside Texas don't support this, however that's not what i was getting at.

I mean that a majority of folks wouldn't be against this if it happened to them, they wouldn't be crying or too concerned over the fate of a burglar if it was their property that was broken into and or they had been attacked. They may still disagree with the law but it puts a different perspective onto things if it happens to you.

Who here is appeasing Muslim terrorism? Odd.

Tell me something Americano, is someone who gets an abortion also a murderer?

I mean what sort of a whore would stoop to the depths of destorying the poor life of an unborn child (no medical issues here) and then have the nerve to be upset at someone killing a burglar, i mean is that a double standard?

What about folks in your state who legalised Euthinasia, or those who have had suicide attempts, are they really scumbags too? I mean how low are they on your scale? (I mean this seriously btw, i wanna know where you rank all these scumbags of society for going after human life).

Then we are down to personal motivation. Muslim 'terrorism' seems no different than a Texan shooting a burglar in the back with a shotgun. Which one would be more easily rationalized, resisting foreign military occupation or a crime against personal property?

I honestly don't think I would shoot a fleeing burglar in the back...a rapist, yes, a murderer, yes...but not a burglar.

And I disagree. If my neighbor killed someone on my property who was no direct threat to my life (or that of someone else on my property) I'd be furious.

Do you actually have any idea what the difference between warfare and civillian law enforcement is?

Or maybe his question is completely irrelevant to the situation and doesn't take into account that the criminal is not the same as an innocent murder victim.

No but say this had happened to you and someone else shot the burglar, would you be upset?

What crime does not deserve the death penalty?

If I see someone smoking a blunt should I light him up? Should I sit with a radar gun and take pot shots and speeders?
