Stealing a truck with someone inside is callwd “kidnapping”.

“She” shot him? A real she or one of those pretend she guys. Inquiring minds want to know.

I believe Tarrant County has a Soros DA.

This may not go well for the justified shooter.

The perp kidnapped the passenger. Police and/or citizens have the right to shoot and kill the kidnapper, since the kidnapper is endangering the life of the innocent person.
No discussion is necessary. Aim, shoot.

DISGUSTING! Another gunshot victim. There is just no reason for this poor person to have been shot just for borrowing a vehicle. If the murderous owner had just called 911 the cops would have been there in just a few minutes and this poor guy’s injuries never would have happened. This lady needs to be charged with attempted murder. /sarc/

Someone mentioned a Soros DA will be involved here. What I wrote above will likely be what the DA has to say, and will charge the lady pickup owner. In our new communist world we do not have the right to defend our lives or property.

Unfortunately it had a tragic end: “non-life-threatening injuries”

Yep, that makes a huge difference. You can’t just shoot someone to defend property, in most cases, but if you are defending another person from a deadly threat, and kidnapping certainly qualifies, then it’s a different story.

I guess we should stop being preoccupied about details about criminals and just accept that criminals are generic.

Yet you had to cut off the end of my sentence, which said:

“in most cases”

If you were actually “knowledgeable”, then you would probably know that Texas law is one of the few exceptions to the general rule, and even then, it does not automatically allow deadly force to be used in all circumstances. However, under Texas law, kidnapping is one of the exceptions that does allow the use of deadly force.

Ok, fed bot…. Got it.

You’re right.

I’m not a lawyer.

I don’t like guns and would never shoot anyone because our justice system and it’s agents will protect us. There is nothing worth taking another life.
