I'm against shooting burglars dead. Fortunately there is no shortage of perps. However, if this trend catches on it may be bad for business. I hope it does'nt. I sure don't want to go back to being a male exotic dancer again.

why? if you force entry into someones home putting everyone in that home at risk you deserve to be shot dead where you stand.

...that said, these killings were premeditated. he expressed his intent prior to walking out the door. were it anywhere but texas he would probably pull time over it.

Because I like burglars. They're cute warm fuzzy and smelly. And if guys like you go around killing them all, we all here go out of business.

Besides, prison guards have to eat too. Thats why.

i suppose we have a different business ethic and mindset. i find it unfortunate that what we provide is even needed at all.

I agree... These days he'd have to sling the sucker over his shoulder and injure a few ladies in the front row in the process.

Oh! ................ I see you've caught my act. RW

No, my wife did... She's never been the same since.

Sorry to hear that. Well, some of us got it and some of us don't. Hey, was that stingy chick who tried to stick a Canadian quarter up my ass? Get her some new eyeglasses and tell her to come across with some American paper. Those quarters are cold. RW

I can understand why this happened. I lived in that area for a few years and the crime was very bad. People were fed up. I saw this stuff happen almost

*every* day! Actually I moved away because of all the crime.

Anyway before I moved, people were talking along the lines of taking matters into their own hands. I guess they are starting to do this now...

See the problem here is you've been living for too long in the touchy-feely San Diego area where you throw flowers at burglars

It's a different world outside the bubble

Oh, Texas is another world alright.

Hell we shoot em even before they THINK about doing the crime, in fact it's our motto

"Killin' em before the crime saves a lot of jailhouse time"

Preventive executions. What a concept.

Yeah, and we build new houses for people who can't afford a pot to pee in, and those who can ALMOST afford one live in old dumps..
