I'm sure they did, but if somebody came up behind me and started shooting, I'd probably run too. The thieves are in the wrong for stealing the gas, the shooter is wrong for trying to kill somebody for $28 worth of gas. I don't know about their state, but in Oklahoma, you just right down the tag number and the cops pick them up. I hate thieves, but what next? Will we condone shooting shoplifters running down the sidewalk too?
Will we condone shooting shoplifters running down the sidewalk too?............ I have no problem with that if that is the only way to stop them without puting the victim in jail. Why is it so many people here think it is OK for LEO's to use deadly force but not for a citizen trying to recover personal property. And there is no monetary value put on property in the Texas statute. Just the word property.
