As far as I know, nothing. Why do you ask?

The perps probably cased the place and concluded she was an easy mark. I guess their plans didn’t include getting shot, killed or locked up for the better part of their lives.

I thought everything was about coronarivus. Having perused the news in various sources over the past few weeks I thought nothing else was going on.

You are correct ... most Texans are familiar with the phrase “... he needed killing/hanging” as it has been applied to miscreants for many, many years.

We are far too easy on today’s ‘miscreants’ these days.

Good thing this happened in the United States of America and not in a communist-controlled country like CA, CT, NY, NJ, MD, MA, OR, VA or DE... This old lady would be facing serious jail time..

It says right there in the OP that the story WAS reported by the local (Houston) TV station, KHOU, Channel 11.
The Ammoland blog is merely repeating it.
Sheesh.
