Bronx homeowner chases would-be intruder down, beats him to death: cops

If they were Christians they would gladly give their stuff to the person who asks for it.

 

Not in Texas.

Texas penal code 9.42

It has to be to stop a felony and conditions apply. It’s open to enough interpretation that I most likely wouldn’t risk it. We are responsible for every missed shot as well.

 

Ta.....this:

.....Does not legalise shooting a thief running away with your favourite golf driver.....fatally in the back. No way.

 

It does exactly that. Sections 2B and 3A specifically.

 

Rubbish. Absolute rubbish. Shooting some wanker thief dead IN THE BACK while he is fleeing is never going to cut the mustard unless Texas is a barbaric State bereft of sensibilities or a moral compass. Really.....is that the way you want to pretend that you are the benefactors of those who fought and died at the Alamo? Shooting some dick in the back while he runs away with you favourite driver?

Sheesh.

 

I hate golf, they can have it, but absconding with something I value greatly, yeah I'd shoot 'em for it. Wouldn't you?

 

And people have used the law to defend themselves successfully in a court of law. It cuts mustard all day long.

 

Never. Ever. Ever. No chattel of mine is worth the life of another human being.

 

Everybody has a limit. Yeah you would shoot if they had something important to you, maybe not your TV but maybe a loved one.

I know you better than you do.

 

Then it follows that Texas is a barbaric State bereft of sensibilities or a moral compass. Those who fought and died at the Alamo must be beaming in great pride as you blokes shoot IN THE BACK some idiot thief.

 

Oh...so now a 'loved one' is a chattel being carried in arms by a fleeing thief? Come on, you cannot be serious.

I'll go this additional mile. Let's play pretend, Disney style. I am a Texan armed to the teeth and some wanker has grabbed my one week old Baby and is off and running. I grab my trusty .375 Magnum.......do I shoot? No way. I am just as likely to kill my own as the wanker. You are kidding yourself and you have been deluded into the belief that having a gun which you can use to kill a person fleeing is justifiable. It is NOT. If that scenio happened here in Australia, even at my age, I'd chase on foot bellowing for neighbour assistance which would be immediately available. No gun needed. And who the Hell would break into my Home to steal an infant? What is the likelihood of that happening? A zillion to zero? Mate, you really are dreaming. You DO NOT need a gun to live in liberty.

 

It's funny to see you so mad. Why are you clutching at your pearls worried for the thief's safety? Weird.

 

Now this is a classic!

Okay, so, please tell me all about me.

 

lol, set up your little house of cards to show me how wrong Texas law is.

But you would grab that gun huh? Thought so.

 

Just did. Accurately too.

 

Mad? No. I am sitting here watching the Rugby World Cup coming from Japan and am enjoying my favourite VB. I am a very happy vegemite, as bright and bright as can be.

 

I tried vegemite. Nasty.

 

Reckon I said that I would NOT use a gun.

 

Everything Australian has a bite, and don't you ever forget it!

 

You'd have it at the ready. Trust me.

 

I will never forget vegemite.

 

Noooooo.....I said:

Everything. Even our birds kill.

 

My P238 trumps a bird. Sorry man.

 

Good luck shooting this bloke!

 

Cool video. I'd be lmao'ing like that guy. I once got tagged in the head by a mocking bird downtown Austin, saw that same bird on the local news later that night as it attacked every person that walked past. Must have had a nest.

What would interest that magpie enough to follow the bike that far? Just hates bikes?

Interestingly enough, I found this.
