HOUSTON—A grand jury will decide whether to press charges against a pregnant woman who, police say, shot and killed a burglar. The ordeal began when the unidentified woman saw a group of men allegedly breaking into cars at her apartment complex on Pinemont in northwest Houston late Monday night. When the group moved on to her car, the woman, who is eight-months pregnant, said she fired a shotgun from her balcony. One of the men died, say police. The others fled the scene in a black truck.

Any TX FReepers have more? On the radio the local moonbats in Austin have their panties quite wadded up about this.

I don’t understand the problem. The woman deserves an award. Double award if the deceased was a member of ACORN (given the propensity for crime, this idiot probably is...or was).

[gwilhelm56]

Give her a MEDAL ... and all the counselling she may need... free.

Seems like a lot of comments at the KHOU site are with the shooter. Good for her!

[piytar]

I believe that criminal mischief at night falls under Texas’s “needs shooting” laws, so she should be fine. Any Texas lawyers available to comment? (I’m not one and this comment is NOT legal advice.)

[Circle_Hook]

One less scumbag! Hooray for her. Maybe these idiots will think twice about taking something that isn’t theirs!

breaking into cars at her apartment complex on Pinemont in northwest Houston late Monday night...

It is not healthy for a perp to be vandalizing property at night in Texas.

Women firing guns is awesome enough. But a preggo? HOT!

The problem is that the maggots from New Orleans that are terrorizing Houston are now some kind of protected class.

Exactly! Houston suffered far more damage as a result of Katrina than New Orleans. The cesse pool that is Lousiana was flushed into Texas and now we have to suffer their presence and criminality.

Yeah but in Texas 'protected class' just means we give it a hunting season. ;-)

She should have fired at least one warning shot. After the last of the creeps was dead or out of sight.

“< /firing for effect >Bang, Bang, Bang < /effect>!!! Stop or I’ll shoot (again). < warning shot> Bang! < /warning shot>

Under the Nuremburg Laws, Jews and Gypsies were "protected persons." God help the protected class.

[mewzilla]

Has the dead perp been ID’d?

[BJClinton]

That’s what I was posting for, no info on the perp yet that I can find. I bet he has an extensive criminal record.

[mewzilla]

If it’s taking this long, decent chance the guy’s an illegal...

[pgyanke]

Has the dead perp been ID’d?

I'm guessing it's the Amish again...

[BJClinton]

I would say even odds he’s an illegal or a Nawlins refugee.

[mewzilla]

Why is this being brought before a grand jury, d’ya know?

[Paleo Conservative]

Why is this being brought before a grand jury, d’ya know?

So they can "nobill" her. They will refuse to press charges, and no future prosecutor can dig up the case and ask another grand jury to press chages without new evidence. It's a protection agains future politically ambitious DA's reopening cases decades later. After all homicide and murder have no statutes of limitation.

[Still Thinking]

Ah, it was probably just a disadvantaged yute doing research so he could counsel his customers down at ACORN on the best techniques for defeating the car alarms.

Ed was a total nutcase this AM. SGT Sam was all over him too.

[basil]

Ed is ALWAYS a total nut case IMHO!

[US_MilitaryRules]

Nice shot!!!!!

[Arrowhead1952]

Yes he is. Just another bleeding heart liberal.

Check you FReepmail in a few.

As opposed to...

[Arrowhead1952]

Well, I’ll put it this way. His political views are 180º different than mine. His whining is so stupid.

[Dayman]

Great shooting lady! She might consider a rifle next time so no shot pellets hit the vehicles in the parking lot. Might be able to get more than 1 scumbag with the shot if she uses a rifle with jacketed ammo, too.

[meadsjn]

Horse thieves get hanged or shot; it’s the right thing to do.

[varon]

One of the men died, say police.

The finish of her car didn't do too well either ;-)

[BJClinton]

She might consider a rifle next time so no shot pellets hit the vehicles in the parking lot.

Kind of a judgment call there. A ricocheting bullet would do more damage.
