Re: Texan 'hero' shoots and kills burglars at neighbours'

Second - even if he did, the law is crystal clear, so it is irrelevant. There is no legal or even moral obligation to "fight fair". The whole idea that one must be facing his opponent and give him fair warning is bullshit. Criminals don't do that so they hardly warrant similar treatment. Third, I have zero moral issues with killing someone who has broken into my home.

Re: Texan 'hero' shoots and kills burglars at neighbours'
Well what else could you have possibly meant by pointing out that people often take the easy route when I had asked you why you seemed to be a criminal advocate?

So he's just a regular non-criminal coward.

He's not a coward, if he was then he would have hidden under the table or something.
I think the burglars are the ones who are cowards, breaking and entering into a homeknowing there's no-one about who would otherwise stop them. Unluckily for them, they weren't as well equated with our laws as Horn. |

Does that mean that you should shoot yourself?

Were the burglars armed?

Re: Texan 'hero' shoots and kills burglars at neighbours'
That's another question that nobody has asked until now either (along with the time the police took to arrive), anybody know if they were armed or not?
I do know one of them did have a history of arrests including violent crimes so its possible. |

Re: Texan 'hero' shoots and kills burglars at neighbours'
Hardly. I was pointing out the flaw in his logic. Its called sarcasm. Acquaint yourself with the concept.

Irrelevant as far as the law is concerned.

How you equate "some people take the easy way out" to "A.P. endorses theft" is beyond me.

Re: Texan 'hero' shoots and kills burglars at neighbours'
YOU are the one who responded to my post accusing you of endorsing his behavior by saying that some people prefer the easy way. Explain what you meant by that if you believe my interpretation was incorrect.
