...and so the cycle of violence continues, as this CHL holder injects himself violently into a situation, rather than pursue the proven art of diplomacy and negotiation. Now a man, most likely a poor and abused man, given this country’s racist tea baggers, has wounds from a gun shooting...all because some yahoo felt it in his realm to be a vigilante.

(how’s my Garrison Keillor imitation? - and don’t laugh, this is EXACTLY how liberals think - they’re just having trouble figuring out a way to take our guns)

As the two men struggled .....

This could have turned out much differently.

I was under the impression car jacking was a federal crime. The article list the charges and I is omitted.

50 years ago we would use our toy pistols and demand, "Stop or I'll shoot!"

We'd always shoot after they stopped, of course.

“you’re right. I figured it was someone about to get zotted out of FR. :)”

...and it would have been well-deserved.

Why would car jacking be a federal crime?

Excellent! The marxist Garrison Keillor actually went to a socialist country (Sweden?) and COULDN'T STAND IT.

Came back with his commie intellect intact, though.

BTW, the libs, lawyers especially, earn big money in cases like this. Defense atty, rehab, special treatment, abuse counciling...

Oh wait! This is TEXAS! Maybe not.

"He got up and went and sat in his own car which, by the way, was on fire, and waited there, shot, and he was still there when the police and paramedics got here," Torres said.

How the citizen's car came be on fire is an interesting, but omitted part of the story.

Thought I read it more than once. As I said, just an impression.

You forgot to cue the scary pipe organ music, or at least a violin.

After searching on the subject, I found that it is a federal crime with some very stiff penalties. Anti-Car Theft Act of 1992 (18 U.S.C.A. § 2119).

I agree its a serious crime, just dont understand how the feds would have jurisdiction.
