It didn't happen on their damn property, did you not read the f'n story? Can we say maroon....
Whether they were on the property or not is unclear. Even if they weren't, they were close enough so that the shooters reasonably believed they were about to trespass, thereby making the shooting justified. Ever heard of a preemptive strike? I believe that's a concept that also came from Texas.
I surely KNOW there are millions of fine people in Texas, but damn, what goes on down there; Branch Davidian sex cult; FDLS sex cult; Phil (Enron Loophole) Gramm; Tom DeLay (putting the House of Reps up for sale via the K Street Project); Bush; Rove; Cheney; Billy Sol Estes; Lee Harvey Oswald; largest inmate population in the nation; the list seems endless of bad news.
Meanwhile, the photo's of the two perps is amazing, what a couple of whack jobs those two are. Meth addicts? Wow.
The reason all these things go on? We have 25 million people. California is the only state with more people and when you compare, they probably have more bad things happening.
And when you say "there are millions of fine people in Texas," replace millions with 24 million.
This wasn't meant to be rude BTW. I just had to stick up for the Lone Star State!

TX law does not allow the use of deadly force to defend against a trespasser, only against someone who is armed themselves or who makes a forceful entry. This is why they are in jail and will be prosecuted and likely convicted.

So shoot first and ask questions later is your philosophy, sure am glad I don't live anywhere near your ilk...
I'm sure that this means that we need to ban all guns.
No, but I sure as hell would like to see a ban on the idea that far too many gun owners have that a weapon is a way to solve the slightest grievance, and that defending property is somehow sacrosanct. Personally, I think that this hits right at the heart of this conservative mentality of individual rights trump all others.

What exactly is an "Ilk"? Is that an insult? Did you forget the "M" when typing?
Just asking...
