I love waking up to a nice cheerful news story.

Beautiful way to start the day. One less obama voter.

A shotgun is the best for short distance.

Not legal in other states. If she was not in her car, she can’t shoot him because her life wouldn’t be in danger, according to the laws of most states. Look at the number of homeowners who have been charged after the fact when they shot an intruder breaking INTO their homes, or running away. I think most lawyers would advise if you are going to shoot a burglar, drag him inside afterward!

Or, perhaps the law of the old West prevails — stealing a man’s horse is a hanging offense. Updated: stealing a woman’s car is a...?

My heart doesn't bleed for him, but his heart probably was bleeding!

In Connecticut, it is illegal to protect your own property with a firearm. Doing what she did would get her arrested for murder.

We had a multiple rape/murder of a Doctor’s wife and daughter, and people demanded those type laws be repealed, and the dem senate and Congress refused.

In the mean time, teenage kids in Hartford a New Haven get shot from cars in the street, and the Congress never tried to make that illegal: trying to stop drive by shootings. Everyone knows that if they made it illegal, drive by shoootings would stop immediately!

Get ’er done.

I love a happy ending.

It’s just a car and a man has lost his life. Is her car worth the life of a man?

Damned right it is. It’s her car and he had no right to try to break into it.How many other victims has this creep got. How many cars, and probably homes as well ,has this slime broken into. She did the State of Texas a favor.

Justified or not, killing someone is not a pleasurable experience.

If she was not under direct threat, she may very well be haunted by that fact the rest of her life, because she could have kept the gun on him while she called the cops, or maybe just wounded him.

[2harddrive]

Yep. She will be CLEARED. Mischief at night!

The man still had a screwdriver in his hand when the woman opened fire with a shotgun. The door lock to her car also had been popped open, officers at the scene said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sounds like an open-and-shut case of justified shooting to me.
