Man shoots thieves while on 911 call

Nice. That's why I'm going to get a shotgun soon. These punks that break into homes get what's coming to them. I wonder if he used a slug or 00.

I'd like to know what kind of gun he used. Maybe a Mossberg 500.

Funny Thought........
Remember that show about home security, where two guys break into a house to show the owners how easy it could be done and afterwards, they install all this security stuff, then at a later date go back to test them.


Bet it makes these guys think twice !!!!!!!!

not surprised, i was six when i lived in stinkadena, and it wasnt near this bad..now? it sux to live there.

in case you want to d/l it

That is key. Good neighbor Trinity. (Seriously)

And IF there is any justice, that fool will go to jail for the rest of his life.

Uh... why? Criminals are not such a good thing to have in society.

Up here in Alaska I carry a Bear Stick, it works equally well on Thieves. The bear stick is a Rem870 wing-master with slug barrel, collapsible stock with pistol grip loaded (always) with Buckshot, then Slug, buckshot then Slug.

The Buckshot softens the target then the Slug hammers it home. Very effective.

If there was justice, the Pasadena cops would have closed the Krispy Kreme box and done their jobs instead of taking more than 10 minutes to show up at a crime scene. But I suppose you would have just watched as your neighbor's house was robbed and said "gee, wish I coulda done more." As it is you are probably right, since now the law protects the criminals and prosecutes law-abiding citizens.

That was awesome! Take that illegal scumbags.

AC 326217 - This guy probably overstepped his bounds on the use of deadly force off his own property, even by Texas legal standards - but this is another glaring example of why we in Texas are sick to fucking death of illegal Mexican immigrants sneaking into our state, sucking the social services system dry like leeches, and breaking into whatever they want to steal on a whim.

Maybe if they have the fear of death as a consequence, they'll think twice the next time before going to clean out a hard working, tax paying, law abiding Texan? To repeat what others have said here, it's good neighbors that help prevent stuff like this from happening. I'd do the same for my neighbors, but I wouldn't have stayed on the 911 call so long. I would have reported it and if the PD hadn't shown up within 10 minutes I'd have gone hunting as well.

If you're willing to intentionally trespass my private property you'd better be willing to pay with your life. I may fire a warning shot, but #2 will be a head shot. Make your choices wisely...

i'm sure you assimilated well amongst your fellow honkeys

Yeah - that's good, piss on a forum admin. I can already tell you're not a very sharp tool.

Especially after this new law was enacted this year:

Gov. Perry Signs Law Allowing Texans to Protect Themselves

SB 378 Permits Texans to Use Deadly Force in Self Defense

AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry today signed into law Senate Bill 378, extending Texans’ rights to use deadly force for means of self-defense, without retreat, in their home, vehicle or workplace. The law takes effect Sept. 1, 2007.

“The right to defend oneself from an imminent act of harm should not only be clearly defined in Texas law, but is intuitive to human nature,” said Gov. Perry. “Today, I am proud to sign the Castle Law which allows Texans to not only protect themselves from criminals, but to receive the protection of state law when circumstances dictate that they use deadly force.

“I thank Senator Jeff Wentworth, Representative Joe Driver and the Texas Legislature for their dedication to ensuring Texans’ rights to self-defense.”

In 1995, the Texas Legislature created an exception to a 1973 statute, which required a person to retreat in the face of a criminal attack. The exception allowed a person to use force without retreat when an intruder unlawfully entered their home. Senate Bill 378 extends a person’s right to stand their ground beyond the home to vehicles and workplaces, allowing the reasonable use of deadly force when an intruder is:

* Committing certain violent crimes, such as murder or sexual assault, or is attempting to commit such crimes;
* Unlawfully trying to enter a protected place; or
* Unlawfully trying to remove a person from a protected place.

The law also provides civil immunity for a person who lawfully uses deadly force in the above circumstances. The use of deadly force is not lawful when it is used to provoke or if a crime other than a Class C misdemeanor is committed by the victim.

The gun company for the gun he used should put him in a commercial. The mayor should give him a medal and the NRA should give him a lifetime membership.

we have to look after our neighbours.
my lad had a party a few weeks back and we got some gate crashers.
these pricks left but ended up breaking into my neighbors house across the road.
he challenged them and there were three punks on to one.
a family guy in his fifties.
luckily my wife saw the commotion and me and my lad jumped in to help.
I ran up and soccer kicked one in the guts ,grabbed him by the hair ,slammed a few punches into his head and choked the fuck out of him and my lad ran up and hammerfisted the fuck out of the back of this guys head to get him off my neighbour.
they fucked off after we beat them up.
They came back but we were all tooled up with axes and a bat. they soon got outa dodge ,lol!

Justice...Texas style. We debated this on another forum a few days ago when the shooting occured. Most agree that the shooter will not get convicted of manslaughter or any other murder charge. Probably a couple of misdemeanor charges like disorderly conduct and discharging a weapon in a public place.

Yes, I live in the "greater" Houston area.

You CAN NOT kill someone just because they're doing something illegal.

Moron!


.

That law does NOT protect this murderer!

He was NOT defending himself, and he was NOT on his own property!



.

the least you can do is wound 'em so they can't get away.

as of today 11-28-07 no charges filed
wife says they are haveing some trouble finding jurors willing charge/hear/indite this guy.
while we were talking bout it a comercial for home security comp. came on the tube she laughed and said she don't want/need no security comp. all she wants is a nieghbor like Joe living next door
I had to agree with her on that. also its been said here, that the guy took the law in his own hands. thats a good thing, it's the job of us all to be the guards of our local area. the cops are there to arrest those who have a warrent issued on them.
not be a playground monitor
not be your personel protector
not be a property guard dog
not untill the cops stopped chaseing down the bad guys did anyone ever think they were here to protect and serve
which if you look, that frase has been removed from all patrol cars cause it aint that way and never was

only thing I would have done differently would be to use something other than a shotgun. something like this.....

sorry, try that again

well, guns in the wrong hands, doesn't necessarily means justice is being served

hold on there hot rod
the cops been killing us(Joe 6pack) at will/on a whim/any time they feel the need to vent/stress-mang. ya know
and most often its over a traffic stop/ unpaid parking ticket or the like. hell just dare to tell one no, ya go ahead, let me know how that works for ya.
hell I bet it took at least ten min. to shut down the radar trap they were working(gotta keep the funds comming in ya know)did they ever give an exact response time for this????? just how long did it take for them to show up????

If he stayed inside his home he would've been fine. Use your head.



Bullshit! Citizen's arrest? You're pulling shit from thin air man...

He has a right to defend his property only with reasonable force. Mere trespassing, even under the insanity of 9.41-9.42 does not authorize deadly force. There is no doubt that his actions are not protected under the Texas statutes. Which is saying a lot since they are ridiculously broad.

Taking two lives that can't be replaced for possessions that can be.

Flawed love.

Two less illegals lurking around up to no good is always a good thing. Now, about that remaining ten million.......we need a LOT more bullets.

Maybe I should check out the story, but if someone doesn't stop approaching when told to on my property and have been seen commiting a crime recently, and I'm armed.... I have a hard time thinking anyone in stinkadina would convict, maybe in the 'burbs by Nasa where everything's insured......
