"Move and you are DEAD!!" : Give this guy a medal

Don't mess with Texas. This guy deserves the keys to the city and free bullets for life. Poor bastard. He's the victim. He's gonna have to live with himself, while the Sheeple of Texas have the gall to want to charge him. Oh sweet irony.

YouTube - Pasadena, TX man shoots and kills 2 burglars!

Hmmm, a little bit too trigger happy for my taste. I can understand his motives, but it sounded like he didn't give them any chance at all to surrender. Maybe they were carrying guns as well?

Oh I thought being a thief, exiting someone's home with their belongings, a man pointing a 12guage in your face and him yelling "Move and you're dead" was plenty effing clear actually.

Must be a southern thing.

But he fired directly after his shouting. Too bad he'll have to carry this on his concience.

Apparently an effective load. Three shots, two goblins. Not bad.

Yep. I imagine that all he saw was asses and elbows. And it is too bad. He truly is the victim here.

Actually, Marcel, the law (in Virginia) is pretty clear. IF the
"party" is in your home with the intent to commit a crime (which crime is
not germain) and IF you have reason to believe your life (or
that of another) is in peril, you have the Right to use Deadly Force.
He need not show a weapon.... as long as, when the
police get there, they find one of your kitchen knives in his hand or about the body.

Just be sure to kill him, or he will sue you for maiming...

And, the time of day makes a difference.... during the day he was "breaking
and entering" and at night, he's "a burglar".

That's just amazing. But these guys were not in his house, but in his neighbours', is that why the government sues him?

On the other side of that, make sure you shoot him in the front part of his
body. If the coroner sez he has bullet wounds in his back, that means he
was running away from you, and your life was NOT in jeopardy.

It dooooo make a difference !

Marcel: I can't see the Youtube thing, I'm blocked out. So I don't know
what transpired. I guess he could say his neighbor's life was threatened.

you can shoot them legally IF they are IN your house in Texas. I know, because dad always made me promise to either let them get a foot in the window, THEN fire. OR drag them into the house and then call the police. God bless him.

Texas law says it is legal to use deadly force when someone is in your house and/or on your property, and they pose a threat (serious injury or death) to you or your loved ones. However, someone killed as they are running off for your front fence may not sway a jury in your favor. I have a concealed handgun license here in Texas and it takes 12 hours of classroom and a lot of shooting to get it. My opinion of this guy in Pasadena is he has murdered two people who posed him no immediate danger, unsavory as they apparently were. You just don't perforate someone unless you have run out of other viable options.

In that case, give him two medals. One for his deed. The second for making a command decision.
