Insane Democrat Want's to Kill The Texas Castle Doctrine
Zpatriot ^ | 12 09 2020 | Staff

Texas has a law that allows a home one to protect themselves and their property. This has long been a target for the left. See Below.

In Texas, State Representative Terry Meza (D-Irving) has introduced HB196. Her bill would repeal the state’s “castle doctrine.” This doctrine allows a homeowner to use deadly force against an armed intruder who breaks into his home.

Now listen to what she has to say...”I’m not saying that stealing is okay,” Meza explained. “All I’m saying is that it doesn’t warrant a death penalty. Thieves only carry weapons for self-protection and to provide the householder an incentive to cooperate. They just want to get their loot and get away. When the resident tries to resist is when people get hurt. If only one side is armed fewer people will be killed.”

Meza was quick to reassure that her bill “would not totally prevent homeowners from defending themselves. Under the new law the homeowner’s obligation is to flee the home at the first sign of intrusion. If fleeing is not possible he must cooperate with the intruder. But if violence breaks out it is the homeowner’s responsibility to make sure no one gets hurt. The best way to achieve this is to use the minimum non-lethal force possible because intruders will be able to sue for any injuries they receive at the hands of the homeowner.”

“”In most instances the thief needs the money more than the homeowner does,” Meza reasoned. “The homeowner’s insurance we reimburse his losses. On balance, the transfer of property is likely to lead to a more equitable distribution of wealth. If my bill can help make this transfer a peaceful one so much the better.”

That’s just insane. No reasonable citizen or resident in this country will think this is a good idea. (Responsible to flee.... Uh, no!)

It’s not robbery. It’s “transfer of property”.

This legislator is obviously courting the all-important "home intruder" vote.

That should guarantee a landslide victory at the next election!

” only carry weapons for self-protection and to provide the householder an incentive to cooperate.”

Always look for the falsehood hidden in plain sight. It is a common trick used by leftists, to present an ‘everybody knows’ statement as accepted fact when it is anything but.

THIS IS SATIRE, FOLKS!

There is such a bill, but the arguments in favor of it presented here are the product of a satirist.

"incentive to cooperate.”

This chick has a flair for creative euphemisms.

I wonder how she could redefine rape and murder.

I thought as much, satire, but you have to know the republican RINO governor DeWine of Ohio has stopped executions. So maybe it isn’t far from the truth.

Low quality blog spam permeates the site these days. The repeal is real (never gonna happen), but the quotes are clearly satire, and have been reported as real dozens of times now. d'oh.
