Oh, I doubt he'd get a slap on the back for attempted murder. In what part of Texas do you think the cops would give him a pass?
The best this fool might hope for is a no bill.
Most I would hope. As I stated earlier if this had happened in Texas the victim would have been well within his rights. He was in active, not passive, persuit.Passive persuit would be if one of his clerks told him and he went hunting them down, not chasing. The thieves would not stop, They had his property.
