Many times on this board I read about various controversies that involve the state of Texas.

They want to suceed from the union.
Dragging a black person behind trucks.
Police robbing black and other minorities.

How do you feel justified to go out your door with a shogun, a 12 gauge shotgun and just shot people because you believed they trespassed??

The shooters were threatened in absolutely no way.

What is the issue with Texans!

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.

What do you expect?
There are a lot of rabid gun owners.
Apparently this is yet another.

These people were just defending their property. This should fall under the Make My Day Law. Completely justified shooting.

i read the article. when you shoot people you wana make sure they pose a threat. if it makes it any better (for me it does not) they are in jail.

I think you're right, Mike- meth addicts.

And Texas makes Florida seem normal.

That's sufficient reason for some wackaloons to shoot someone.

And they were charged, just as they would be in any other state...

I'm sure that this means that we need to ban all guns.
