Half a dozen felony CONVICTIONS? How could the home invader possibly be out on the street menacing the community? The homeowner deserves a medal—he did more in five minutes to protect his innocent fellow citizens than the courts did in 13 years.

Looks like the Goblins haven’t been watching the local news!

He actually said, if you shoot someone and he falls outside the house, drag him back in...

The lab boys have figured this one out. Ever watch CSI?

I have no idea what the law is in Texas.

We are against tampering with crime scenes.

That’s good...

Don’t want to spook them...
Let em keep coming, just make sure everyone is armed and ready to “greet” them..

Clearly the goobermint won’t deal with ANY of the serious problems of society -— the armed citizens will have to do it for themselves...

That is only a mile up the street from my house — yikes! Once upon a time the west end of Houston was one of the nicer parts of town, but no longer.

In today's case, Dunbar "had made entry but his whole body wasn't inside yet," Nelson said.

From what I've read on posts from Texas FReepers, being fully inside the window doesn't enter into it. Being on the property at night is pretty much all that is needed. Why should it matter if this POS had his body completely inside the window or not. His intention was obvious, especially since "Deputies found a back screen door on the back of the house torn from its hinges..."

Are we sure that this wasn't written by "Chronicle bed wetter Lisa Falkenberg" or one of her "staff"? The liberal bias just reeks.

I always keep in mind Mark Twain's advise when I read krap(tm) written by "journalists":

...the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditchdigging and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse."

He's got a pretty extensive criminal record of felonies over the last 13 years," Nelson said of Dunbar. "He has at least 12 arrests for felonies and a half dozen convictions.

Someone in this area needs to ask, why was this individual not in prison? Who released this career criminal? What judge was involved in setting this guy free?

“So who wants to say this VCA shouldn’t have had to die for a robbery?”

OK, I will say it, This VCA shouldn’t have had todie for a robbery. Of course, if this idiot VCA would not have been robbing, the idiot VCA would be alive today.

How did I do?

The good folks down there in Houston seem to be thinning out the criminal ranks quite efficiently these days. That TX Castle Doctrine law appears to be working as advertised, too bad every state legislature and governor doesn't have the guts to enact it for the good of their law abiding citizens.

In many states if you shoot an intruder you're in more trouble than the criminal you shot, and the best outcome you can expect is to lose everything you own and end up in debt up to your eyeballs for legal expenses.
