Right - I’ve read a lot of stories like that from the UK. Bottom line is: do not injure in any way someone who breaks into your home while you are there. Same stories in Australia.

Texas is great. The only state where “He needed killing” is considered a valid self defense plea.

VERY. Austin has become a liberal demokkkrat controlled hell-hole and mexican invader sanctuary city but there are still a number of conservative business owners, such as a tobacco store, since liberals are mostly anti-smoking.

I don’t know of a single conservative that has ever done armed robbery.

I often catch myself using idioms and phrases that are so out of date, the younger generation has never heard them.

I suppose that happens to every generation. I can recall my granddad using pet phrases that totally mystified me.

My Grandad used to exclaim. “What in the Sam Hill?”

Especially in Austin smoke shops.

Amazed to see there’s still one man in Austin who isn’t a pajama boy.

Almost looks like the bad guy is falling then rolling as he crashes out the door. The door definitely took hits, I’m guessing our hero landed at least a couple....

Even fatal hits don’t always cause immediate incapacitation....he could have made multiple hits.....curious to see.
