Sounds like a good shoot.

If the American “just-us” system wasn’t so evil and corrupt people would not commit the amount of crime that is allowed to happen.

Eventually this chase down & shoot tactic will be as common as a San Francisco shoplifter at a Walgreens.

Texas observes a version of what is commonly known as the Fleeing Felon Rule. The moral of the story is: don't come onto someone's property at night and try to steal stuff and, if you get caught, don't try to run.

Well done.

Thanks. I get to clean off my monitor now.

In general, I feel like death for stealing a BBQ pit is about right.

Hey. If someone stole my insulated vertical smoker, that would be killing territory.

“How do you steal a BBQ pit?”

Hook up your truck and drive away.

Did he get him in the brisket or ribs?

No you know why.

The consequences are real and immediate.

A pit? What was he using? A backhoe? Dozer? Track shovel? Oh, I’m sorry, it was a grill!

It’s probably OK in most of Texas. Harris County probably not. There’s a reason they moved Paxton’s trial from McKinney to Houston.

Interesting DA election down there, however. Soros put Ogg into office, but now he’s backing a more radical democrat against her this time around.

It’s a rare thing to swipe a feller’s BBQ pit.

My brother-in-law has one that is built on the frame of a trailer to be able to take it to events and such.

Just when I thought the thread was done, you smoked it with the rub.

Was there a fire burning in the BBQ pit during this ordeal?

Yep. That will definitely put you at risk of being smoked.
