North Padre ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
Is it still called a citizens arrest if Martinez isn’t a citizen. OK Gulley is!
He will try to send some friends of his their way so he might want to be prepared again.
Another story of a gun saving property and maybe a life or two.
The media could care less. I wonder if Corpus Christi even put it in the news or the local paper?
Is this a matter of vacation homes in isolated locations being looted at leisure?
Sad to say, but in some parts of the country the property owners would be looking at more felony charges and potential jail time than the thief.
I think if it were me, I probably would have just shot the guy with a shotgun at close range when he came into my garage.
I had a friend in Houston who shot her would be rapist with her .22 pistol, then had to listen to him whine for fifteen minutes before the cops came.
She’s lucky he didn’t rush her, take her little pistol and kill her. Very lucky lady.
I’ve been burglarized several times in NYC and LA. Had my front door kicked in at 5 AM in LA and had people on the roof twice trying to break through the skylights.
It makes you very, VERY angry. It totally removes any sympathy, care, concern or compassion for thieves.
As far as I’m concerned, all thieves and burglars should be shot on the spot, their bodies returned to their neighborhood and hung on a lamp post.
Kill em all. Problem solved.
Shoot, shovel, & shut up. Problem solved. What’s for dinner?
I wonder how often these things are settled with a shotgun and a shovel.
That’s the problem in my State. Merely threatening deadly force in protection of property will get you jail time.
How is a sincere criminal, trying hard, going to get ahead
in his profession if his victim fails to cooperate?
Almost all crime depends on the cooperation of the victim.
If the victim refuses his assigned role, the criminal is
placed at a disadvantage, one so severe that it usually
takes an understanding and compassionate judge to set
right.
LAZARUS LONG
I live in MD. If I fired a shot to protect my property I would be in jail.
This is such a fascist system in MD. Liberals pass mean and cruel laws.
If a person were to kill a home invader in MD, it might be safer to dispose of the body somewhere else. I do not advise this as it breaks the law.
WHAT?
Anybody doing copy editing?
Perhaps you’ve heard of the old Triple S philosophy: Shoot, shovel and shut up.
My sympathy for your having to live in Maryland.
she didn’t aim right if he was still complaining ;)
While it may be a vacation home or a permenant residence being rebuilt after the hurricane, it most certainly isn't in an isolated location. It has a population of 60,000.
Oops, thought it was Galveston...
“Is it still called a citizens arrest if Martinez isn’t a citizen”
Why do you question the scumbag’s citizenship?
