In other words, only property had been stolen. She didn’t see why nonviolent criminals should have such long prison sentences... if any.
The band wagon was proceeding just fine until it was pointed out that many of these burglars were actually rapists.
In fact, if I recall correctly, a famous penologist who had been the warden of Sing Sing prison for many years testified in Austin that he had never met a man convicted of burglary who was not also a rapist if given an opportunity. It turned out that in many cases if women were in a home that was being burglarized they were raped.
Many of the allegedly "nonviolent" burglars had been given extremely long prison sentences to keep these women from having to go to court and testify in public about what had been done to them.
If somebody is breaking into a home in broad daylight, he, and whatever scumbag friends he has brought along, has earned the right to be killed on the spot. Don't tell me "it was only property."
Good shooting Mr Horn. As a taxpayer in the Great State of Texas, I appreciate your saving us the expense of a trial. I'm just sorry we can't check the dirt bags' wallets to see if they have enough of their own money to buy you a new box of shotgun shells to replace those you used.
Frankly, I hate the idea of vigilante force. However, as time goes on and respect for individual rights are overcome by criminal intent..the police and sheriffs will not be able to keep up with demand. So should we roll over and give in to criminal activity?
These individuals could just have well killed or raped in the process of their “little” crime. Maybe not at that house, but the next.
If this gentleman would like to relocate..I would welcome him in my neighborhood.
And..yes..I’m from Texas. :)
The dispatcher is clueless. So is the Drive By Media that is covering
OK, Mr or Madam Dispatcher and Drive By “Journalists”. Answer this:
1) What if the neighbors would been the house being beat up by another individual(s)?
2) What if the neighbors would have elderly unable to physically defend themselves.
3) Worse that that, what if the neighbors had female children and the parents left them at home alone?
The old adage, shoot first and ask questions is very applicable. I bet you anything these thieves had criminal records and spent time in jail.
About three weeks ago, we had some kids ( I think) pull a prank on us about 9:30 PM on a school night. They came to our front door and pounded as if they were about to knock it down. The worst came to my mind as I jumped away from the kitchen sink (was washing a dish) and I ran to my bedroom and got my Piece out and called 911. I didn’t know if someone was trying to commit a home invasion or it was a school intitation prank which we assume it was because some of our neighbors said on other nights they had their doorbells rang really late or a simple knock on the door and when they got the door, no one was there.
Anyway, I told the police officer that if they catch these kids in action one day doing this, they might want to tell them that Texas law now protects the homeowner and what they did in the case of my door, would be an action were the law would protect me.
I think he was fully justified, but he really hurt his argument with the 911 tape. He came across as blood-thirsty and the anti-gun types are looking for a fight over this one.

Miguel DeJesus, 38, and Diego Ortiz, 30, both of whom had small-time criminal histories, died of their wounds.
Fire the dispatcher and give him a medal. Everything he did was completely legal.
I guess someone should ask the perps if someone else' property is worth dieing for.
