What’s Fonzie like?
Yeah, taxpayers are being force to pay for the obvious - an "obvious' academics won't discover for years...
Here it is - this article's a hint. Citizens are fighting back. The "cost" of being a criminal has gone waaaaaaay up. It's no longer a question of sitting in a prison with a bunch of friends being fed four squares a day. Nope, now it's a question of 'will someone shoot back and kill..."
First, robbery here at a late night diner. Robbers stole a guy’s wallet. Then shot him in the head. In danger for your life any time some thug pulls a gun.
Second, had he chased them outside and shot one in the back of the head while they were driving away, he very well may have been charged for a crime. If shooter were white and victim black, Jesse and Company would be matching. rev. Al on tv calling for “justice” and the white politicians would fold and DA would go for charges, exactly as happened in the Duke lynching.
Not here in Texas. Our Castle Doctrine leaves us a lot of leeway. These guys shot at him.
I can shoot someone breaking into my car, sans weapon, if I think they may be a danger to me. Criminals here are learning the hard way we’re fed up.
Quite a stutter you have there.
If you really feel that way, then work to change the laws governing use of deadly force.
