I will be 80 next month. If someone tries to break into my house, he will get 38 hollow points in his chest first to slow him down, then in his brain. In Texas, our police give you an imaginary medal for riding the world of another bad guy they don't have to deal with again in the future.
We have an actual law in Texas that approves deadly force if your life or property is in danger. No point in taking up the time of a grand jury in a case like this.
This story is local to me. The poor guy has had his house robbed twice before.
The greatest thing about it was the long string of comments on the local news site congratulating the man.
