Oh there's definitely a line. If I didn't have one, then I likely would have been in court for actually shooting the 18yo that tried to steal my plants last season. Seeing as he was clearly not a threat; I deemed it more prudent to let him run.

Sometimes bad things happen to criminals during the conduct of their crimes. Getting popped while engaging in a violent felony is a mitigating factor for the popper. Considering how your sympathies are aligned, that might stick in your craw a bit but most of us don't share your knee jerk outlook. You probably should stay out of Texas.

This one surprises me a bit. From the little I know of this case, and it is VERY little, it sounded like this was murder or at least manslaughter. The fact that the jury has been deliberating for two days surprises me.
This is your opportunity to tell us how sub-human southerners are, Buck. Your bigotry never fails to amuse me.

Why? Is he smoking turds?
Well, if you don't have a gun, you gotta improvise.
I wish I did, too.You must watch the discovery channel, sounds like the natives in South America dipping their arrows and darts in those crushed up poison frogs.

Unloaded on a car of teens because they were acting like asshole high-schoolers. That truly looks damning for the shooter.

That is exactly what I thought when I heard about it on the news, but the jury has been out for two days...

Exactly! Yet, people put their lives on the line everyday just to go for a joyride.
If the thief doesn't care enough about his own life, why should I?

Had you lost your cool and taken the shot, you would be living with that decision the rest of your life.
Much respect for you, KP

I'm no expert on jury trials, but isn't one juror with doubt enough to gum up the works?

I wouldn't shoot someone stealing my car, because there's no human dwelling inside my car, therefore the intention of the robber can't be to kill or assault me or my loved ones. If the same robber is breaking into my home, his intentions could very well be to harm me or my loved ones. I have no way of knowing whether or not his intention is to steal or cause harm or both, and I will act accordingly, AKA shoot first, ask questions later. My 'warning shot' involves blowing your dick off, do you really wanna be 'warned'?
Amazingly enough, if you don't break into peoples' homes, you won't get shot by a homeowner trying to prevent you from breaking into their home.
Well done IMO.
Saved the tax payer some dollars, and more than likely, saved some poor citizen from being subjected to criminal predation by the sorry piece of worm food formerly known as "Deyfon".
Good job Texan!

I think I would like az better then texas ....... can walk around with a smith and Wesson 500 mag. in a holster on my hip and don't need a permit to buy it or open carry it..... prefer dry heat over hot n humid
Bullshit!
That individual was trying to STOP sorry piece of shit thieves that were robbing the fuck out of his g'damn neighbor. Those worthless bastards could have dropped the loot, and walked away with hands raised, but they didn't, and they rightfully got shot for trying to call out a man holding a shotgun.
/spit
FUCK those guys too!

IMO, using deadly force should be reserved for protecting yourself from possible deadly force.
Shooting someone in the back is not protecting your, or your neighbour's life.
A list of things that don't warrant deadly force;
Kids hitting a mailbox with a bat
A toddler on his big wheels bumping into my car
Someone stealing something from my yard (or my neighbour's yard)
Dogs fucking on my lawn. (Even though it is my castle or castle's yard)

Sounds like they were trying to run according to the undercover that was watching it go down. Go ahead and talk about gunning down unarmed people like killing is something to be celebrated. If you go out of your way to shoot someone who is clearly not a threat to you, then there is something wrong with you.
