on’t mess with these Texas parents.
A husband and wife in Houston chased down an alleged “peeping Tom” lurking outside their 10-year-old daughter’s bedroom window — and shot him, authorities said.
The couple said they heard their daughter scream late Sunday when she spotted the man touching himself, local reports said.
“She looks over at the window and this guy is at her window,” the girl’s mother, who asked not to be identified, told KPRC-TV.
“He took my daughter’s innocence away.”

If I’m on the jury, “Not Guilty”.
Sly Turner’s Houston. He sucks as mayor.
Or, as my Daddy would put it, “Pay the shooter bounty and buy him more bullets.”
Armed with handguns, the parents rushed out of their house and went after the creep, who was apparently intoxicated, the reports said. The father said he and his wife ordered the sicko to lie down in the yard and wait for police to arrive — but the man refused and walked to a nearby gas station. The couple followed him, and the dad went inside the station to call 911 while the mom held the suspect outside. But the perp allegedly wrestled the gun out of the woman’s hands and pointed it at her — which is when her husband shot him, according to the reports.
Not guilty, but Dad should have sent Mom inside to call.
It happened in my neighborhood when I was a kid. The verdict was “Peeping into windows is not a capital crime”. Besides he also wounded a Peugeot which probably wasn’t that much of a crime but the owner never fixed the hole. Hot topic for us kids.
Kinda surprising when parents show a normal amount of concern for their kids’ safety and wellbeing, right? You’re right, the parents will probably be getting a lot of crap from social services, they’ll be labeled racist and homophobic and etc. “Why does it scare you when a man wants to look at your body, young lady? ARE YOU TELLING US THAT YOU’RE REALLY A MALE???!!! DO YOU NEED GENDER REASSIGNMENT CAMP???!!!”
The words “chase down and shoot” will be a problem for them...but good luck getting any sympathy from a jury.
Better hope the Peeping Tom wasn’t one of Obama’s coulda been “sons” or the parents are going to be in trouble.
“ If I’m on the jury, “Not Guilty”.
You may want to add a word or two to clarify that statement. It took me a few to first realize you were not cheering on the biden voter, then a few to get that you were not projecting the classic FR not guilty meme on the girl. I am kind of slow this morning, but I was confused for a sec
I predict this will go before a grand jury which will no-bill the incident. This would be a good thing as it reduces risk of civil charges.
Not possible, otherwise there would be widespread looting and rioting.
Yeah. Once they left the property it gets legally dicey. However, a jury will most likely be sympathetic.
Perhaps. Thinking about it and trying to place my wife and myself in that situation I can hear my wife say…I’ll hold the creep here, you go inside and call 911. I protest of course and she says go on, you know I’m a better shot!😎
1. Texas. Among other things, we have far wider legal latitude to shoot in some cases.
2. The whole thing is caught on video due to it being at a gas station.
3. They didn’t shoot until the guy physically attacked the wife, at which point it’s game over.
They shot him, but I didn’t see in the article if he is dead or not. So, I assume it was not a fatal shot. Is that correct?
“she spotted the man touching himself”
I’m sure some POS “woke”attorney will argue that “he” identifies as a “10 year-old girl” and “she” should tried as a minor and, if sentenced, sent to a girls juvenile detention center.

The Texas jury will be sympathetic, but it doesn’t need to be. Go take a look at Title II, Chapter 9 of the Texas penal code.

Among other fun things, we’re black-letter-law allowed to chase down and shoot someone who has attempted burglary. Section 9.42.
I don’t know about Houston, but here? There would not even be charges filed. If the perp overcame the wife and took the gun she had; the husband acted to save his wife’s life. End of discussion.
