In a Blue state like Massachusetts or Illinois that guy would be so far back in the dungeons that lawyers would have to send him business cards by slingshot.
In Texas, they still give a man the right to defend himself and his property from today's urban mutants.
d.o.l.
Criminal Number 18F
Texans are a more advanced species, to be sure.
Good for Texas! A great law.
"Texas law allows people to use deadly force to protect their property AT NIGHT or, under certain circumstances, to stop someone they believe is committing a crime."
I wonder if the shrimp factory owner down in Freeport, TX could shoot one of the city officials that are trying to steal his land through eminent domain by claiming that he was just protecting his property????

That was a lucky break for the cops. He put car thieves out of business. Hopefully they will catch the guy who got away. He's very lucky he wasn't shot too.
The car's owner fired a total of six shots at the wrecker, hitting Antonio Devon Hunt, 29, who police said was driving the tow truck. He was shot once in the head and transported to Ben Taub Hospital in critical condition.
Special mention for marksmanship under difficult conditions. While running on foot he hit a moving perp in the head.
That's good shooting!
Thieves should leave Texas as fast as they can.

Police ID suspect in attempted car theft
Man is in fair condition with head wound
Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle
A Sugar Land man is in fair condition at a hospital after police say he was shot while trying to steal a car from some northeast Houston apartments, police said.
Antonio Hunt, 29, of the 16200 block of Soaring Eagle, was shot in the head about 4 a.m. Friday. Another suspect in the alleged car theft got away.
Hunt has not been charged with a crime. The man who shot Hunt has not been charged, and the incident will be referred to a Harris County grand jury for review.
Police say Hunt and an unidentified accomplice were in a stolen tow truck when they tried to haul away a new Buick from an apartment complex at 9603 Homestead. The 20-year-old man who owns the Buick heard his car alarm sounding, grabbed a handgun and went outside to confront the thieves, investigators said. He chased the fleeing tow truck through the apartment complex, then shot out its tires to force the suspects to stop.
Hunt and the man with him then jumped out of the wrecker, trying to run away. The man chasing them said Hunt reached for his waistband, as if he was grabbing a weapon. Fearing for his life, the man chasing the suspects opened fire, hitting Hunt in the head.
Investigators later found tires had been slashed on several vehicles parked around the Buick.
Oooh, I feel an "I told you so!" moment coming on... heh heh!! Way to go, Texas!
In Wisconsin you're supposed to beg for your life and hope your call goes thru to some 911 operator (Except for me, of course).
Well done.
I think we have a criminolgist genius here.
One of those for whom a shot in the head is a non-fatal wound.
