Richards 0 #154 June 19, 2006 QuoteThat being said, I don't see anything wrong with baiting them into putting themselves in a position where you can legally use deadly force. People like that are playing games with not only their own lives, but the lives and property of others. I have no sympathy for them. edited to add: Years ago, near Austin, a homeowner shot and killed a kid who was stealing hubcaps from his car, which was parked in his driveway. It was a legal kill. A few years ago in Houston a guy shot someone who was trying to steal his vehicle which was parked on the street. As I recall, he shot with either an AK-47 or SKS from his second story apartment. Again, a legal kill. Do I think a vehicle or even just the hubcaps are worth killing over? I think the better question is what kind of person thinks those things are worth *dying* over? In the original post, a couple of guys not only trespassed, but when confronted started talking shit. Really, those guys are both a couple of Darwin Award candidates waiting to happen, IMO. Walt Gosh Walt, I really like the way you think! It is truly a shame that you are not a supreme court judge!Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.
