Now now, that would involve some level of personal responsibility. We can't have that in this country any more. I give it a week before we hear about the illegal's families suing the guy who shot them. I give it another week before all the gun control nut cases start screaming about how evil Texas is, and we need more gun control laws. Yea, because the psychopath who is going to shoot up a mall, or a school, or a church gives two ****s about your laws to begin with. Ever notice how crime rates DROP in states where people are aloud to carry firearms and defend themselves?

Shot them in the back while they were fleeing the area.

He just wanted to shoot his gun. He is a despicable excuse for a human. The fact that you think this is a good thing for a civilized society speaks volumes about you.

In Texas, death penalty for burglary. Yeah. That's a good thing.
I guarantee you the next piece of garbage who thinks about robbing someone in that neighborhood, or committing any other crime, will think twice. People like you are half of what's wrong with this country. No longer should individuals be able to protect themselves, their homes, and their property. Noooo, we should all depend on the government and local authorities to take care of everything for us.

Let me guess, you're also all ****ed off that the Supreme Court decided to UPHOLD the Constitution of this country when it came to the DC gun ban, right?

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with shooting the guy who comes to rob your house.
However, I want to go on record as saying that I completely disagree with the title of this thread. If there is a god, he/she/it is certainly NOT blessing Texas. Texas is a blight on the good name of this country, and the rest of us would be very happy if you all would quit threatening and secede already.

So if this was two white teen punks that were shot in the back you would all feel the same way?

Not exactly, unless the two white punks were also illegal aliens. Than yeah I would feel exactly the same.

Some estimates are half of California prison inmates are illegal aliens. We can only estimate because your side doesn't want to ask the question.

Yes, I would. Don't care if they were white, black, or brown. Don't want to get shot? Don't come to my house to threaten the safety of my family. I guarantee you the person who breaks into my house, again, what color they are makes no difference to me, will not be walking out of it. The ONLY difference would come from third party sources. Meaning, if they were blacks that were shot, you can bet your next paycheck our favorite race pimps would be down there "fighting for the rights" of those criminals. (that would be Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton)

Winner Winner Winner...unlucky post #13 gets the award for playing the race card.

IMO, race has nothing to do with it. It just strengthens the guy's case that they were illegal aliens.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

I just realized I didn't answer your question...Yes, I would feel the same if it was two any color burglars.

I am having trouble understanding you, as all I hear is a load of crap. There are many things that God, (there is, just to clear that up) is not proud of. What you fail to realize is that these things happen everywhere, not just Texas. I could go all day on this, but I am guessing anyone with this (see above qoute) view has already tuned me out. I guess facts weigh no importance in today's society, only misconceptions.

p.s. I am not talking about you POPA, really, just those who really believe things like this.

You have me at a disadvantage, sir. From where might you be? Don't ring my doorbell and run.

People are now trying to throw the vigilante label on this guy. A Vigilante goes out looking for criminals, these criminals came to him. I'm not from Texas, I'm from Florida and live in Texas. Florida actually says eminent castle extends to your neighbor if you are defending them or their property. In that way Florida actually gives gun owners MORE freedoms.

For the record, Texas was its own country, the US decided they wanted it.

Ha, You can't play the race card if your white. Nobody likes illegal immigrants or career criminals, I can understand that. But say in the future two young kids decide to screw up and go steal something from a house. Do you think that it would be right for a neighbor to shoot them in the back when they are unarmed, not in that persons house, and pose no risk to that neighbor? Because that is what this case will allow to happen in the future. This guy became the police, the jury, the judge, and the executioner all by himself and it was over something that did NOT even affect him. From listening to that 911 call it really sounds like this guy might have some mental issues. He says I am going to kill them, goes outside says stop and shoots at the same time, and then is somehow traumatized by the event that he put himself in.
