DONNA, Texas (AP) -
Investigators say a South Texas homeowner has shot and killed two people who asked about buying roosters then drew guns on the resident.

Good shooting, Citizen. Civilization thanks you.
Talk about a deliberatly misleading headline! The two apparently threatened the guy with their firearms and he fought back.
Are you talking about the South Carolina Fighting Gamecocks?
T'ain't just TX nor just Hispanics. Cockfighting has a LONG history among the south Louisianians of French descent. And I just lately heard of a case here in leftist Washington state, no less.
Drive around some "deep rural" areas and watch for little pup-tent shaped pieces of aluminum dispersed evenly across some pasture. If you will/can look closer, you will see a rooster near the "tent" (like a dog on a leash attached to his dog-house).
In S. Louisiana, I saw several of these sites, quite visible from the local roadway.....yet "invisible" to passing law-enforcement types.
WHAT A FRIGGIN’ MISLEADING HEADLINE!!!!!!!
Pardon me for shouting, but a more accurate and informative headline would be:
“Texas Homeowner Kills 2 Who Drew Guns”
The headline makes it sound like some old coot shot a couple of poor Dreamers who inquired about purchasing poultry. Dollars to donuts both Dreamers have rap sheets as long as the Rio Grande.
We went to a fertility clinic in NY state that informed us it was illegal to transport semen across the state line. Hate to be the guy who has to enforce such laws.
“...for all you rooster smugglers out in FR land.”
Do you mean that conservative utopia called FReeplandia?
I just cancelled my local newspaper over this sort of 'headlining.'
You know he ain't gonna die.
“FReeplandia”
Sweet
Sometimes even the AP has a sense of humor.
Little Red Rooster - Rolling Stones
I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
Keep everything in the farm yard
Upset in every way
The dogs begin to bark, hounds begin to howl
The dog begin to bark, hounds begin to howl
Watch out now people
Little red rooster on the prowl
If you’re about to see my little red rooster
Please drive him home
If you’re about to see my little red rooster
Please drive him home
Ain’t had no peace in the farm yard
Since my little red rooster’s been gone
When in Texas, don’t mess with their women, insult their horse, disrespect their flag,,,,,,,, or ask about their Roosters.
God bless Texas.....
I may have had an experience a couple of years ago that was the fist stage of something like this. It was in the summer. I heard a persistent knocking at my front door and went into to the breezeway to see who it might be. I saw four young Hispanic males with an old car and startled them. I took off running to get my weapon and they took off as fast as they could go, probably knowing exactly what I was doing, it being a semi-rural area where most people are armed and nobody tries to hide the fact. It’s the closest I’ve come in my life (I’m over 70) to ever having to display or discharge a firearm in anger. I thank God I had it and the potential perps were smart enough to know what was about to happen.
He's probably still trying to get their witness statements.
