In an incident in Lufkin, Texas, one man lost his life in an overnight shooting shortly after being discharged from the Angelina County Jail. The deceased convict, identified as Jarvis Houston, 47, met a fatal fate when he encountered a man at a business establishment on East Lufkin Avenue, where the man was present with his wife and infant.

According to reports, Houston approached the family as they sat inside their vehicle at the business location. Despite being warned and even offered an alternative vehicle, Houston allegedly attempted to steal the car, prompting the man to open fire, resulting in Houston being shot. The fatal encounter unfolded less than an hour following Houston’s release from jail on charges related to assault and family violence.

“..met a fatal fate...”

“Interesting choice of words..”

I was thinking the same thing.

“I like to read good news first thing in the morning.”

Yes. Drinking the first cup of coffee and reading something uplifting ... it doesn’t get better than that.

...A noisome noise?

"Noisome" is an interesting word, that does not relate to sound, but can definitely be used to describe the current governor of California.
;^)

Texas is one of the few states where you can use deadly force to protect your property. Additionally, you can use deadly force to “stop the commission of a felony”.

Wouldn’t push it in Austin, Houston, Dallas, or SA but then I don’t go to those places. Several years ago the wife and I held two poachers/trespassers at gunpoint until the LEO’s arrived. One asked me why we didn’t shoot them.

I’ve had two local LEO’s shake my hand and thank me for Open Carrying.

To: Who is John Galt?

You are correct on both counts. That example doesn’t fit my list at all but it sure does describe the current governor..... so I should have had ‘noisome Newsom’ on the list.

“As dumb as a Texas carjacker” could be a new buzz phrase. Better than FAFO.

“met a fatal fate”

That’s an interesting way of saying it.

A person released within hours of leaving jail for violent crime chooses to steal a truck… yeah, good riddance Mr. Houston.

Only concern is whether or not he got blood inside the car, shame to have to waste time cleaning it.

Suicide by crime?

A guy running from the police breaks into the house. The homeowner shoots and wounds him. The police chief told the homeowner - take some gun safety classes.

You’ll shoot better and save the taxpayers a bunch of money.

Inside of your vehicle is the same as being in your car in most/all states.

Yes.

Response to threat must be immediate.
