He didn't have no right to kill him, said Wanda Munoz, the victims mother. If he was doing what they said he was doing, he should have just called the police and reported it. Why kill him." Oh, probably because the police would have shown up 10 minutes late, his car would have been destroyed and the perps wouldn't have been caught.

I would've moseyed on down, politely asked the lads if they needed some help, and then covered the little SOBs.

Second Amendment again supports the 4th, the right to secure your effects and personal property. YES!!! This country needs more of this kind of citizen.

The problem comes in cause many citizens will tell you that you have a right to protect your property and if they get to a jury they'll say they would do the same thing," said Robert Jenkins, a local defense attorney.Well, I must say that Robert Jenkins and I do not see eye to eye as lawyers. What he calls a "problem," I call common sense. The right to defend one's property is very basic to most Americans. The idea that one's property is somehow in a different class from one's life, shows a misconception. One's property reflects a segment of one's life, or the life of one's ancestor. Property does not grow on trees. It reflects the labor and ingenuity of one who secured by labor and ingenuity the means to acquire it. When you steal a man's property, you steal a segment of his life. No man should have to submit to that.
Hopefully, the local Prosecutor will decline this Prosecution. Let the thieves of the world, beware!

Correct me if I'm wrong , but I think I read somewhere that in the old West, horse theft was a capital offense. Thanks.

Well Wanda, if your little degenerate wasn't doing what they said he was doing, it wouldn't be an issue, now would it??

You know, your damned if you do, damned if you don't. Now, I don't know if I was fed a line here, but I asked my insurance guy what would happen if I caught some
Adam
Henry stealing my truck and I shot the tires out. Could I turn that into insurance. He said no, it would be considered willfull destruction of personal property. So I proceeded to ask him what would happen if I watched the perp drive away and he wrecks my rig. He says, we replace it, and your rates go up.
So, can't shoot the SOB, you'll goto jail. Can't prevent 'em from driving away with well palced shots, that's willfull destruction (and probably still get's you in jail for discharging your weapon and endangering the life of the poor misguided perp). Watch them take your earned property (and if they wreck it), your penalized with higher rates..
I wonder how much I can get a silencer for? That would give me the crucial time needed to just drive away myself with the perp in the backseat...dump their asses somewhere else.

He's still facing one heckuva wrongful death civil suit.
To: Shermy
He
didn't have
no right to kill him, said Wanda Munoz, the victims mother.
Good, then we are in agreement.

Good Riddence!

Ever considered a crossbow with a deep sea fishing reel on it...motorized?
Just a thought.
I don't think you'd need a license for it, though.

He's still facing one heckuva wrongful death civil suit. Maybe. But he may get the same jurors who would let him off in a criminal case.
In Texas, we're justified in protecting our property, at night, with lethal force.

But Louisiana is not the Bronx. My guess is that a Louisiana Jury would come in with a Defense verdict, or else they would award the Mom, who obviously failed to teach her son anything of great value, all of $1.
Jurors are not stupid. It is not hard to grasp that this sort of citizen protection of property, makes every other property owner just a tad safer. Now if we had a shooting like this every day, there would soon be a very noticeable fall in car thefts!

Thanks.I am not sure whether that was on the statute books, or just the practical result. It does seem fair, though, doesn't it! The idea that a thief has the right to strand an honest man is not tolerable.

Well maybe he can argue that he was aiming for the leg. I would have done that, because I believe that someone trying to steal my property deserves pain before death.
