Evidently one hooker is worth $150 in Texas.

Proportional response, it's a good idea.

Evidently Texas feels that using deadly force against a nighttime thief is proportional to the risk to society posed by night thieves. That's the right of Texans to decide. Therefore, if you don't want to get shot, don't steal stuff at night. Simple.

Really? You think Texans have a good grip on reality? Do you shoot your dog when it pees on the floor?

Probably not even in Texas.. but I bet they'd shoot a hooker for it.

Has anyone thought of her pimp? He should be entitled to some restitution, or satisfaction, or some shit like 'pistols at dawn'.

[Sean Hayden]

Could have just been her, or more likely her and a friend scamming assholes. I don't think it said whether she was shot in the back while running away or not. In fact I haven't even bothered to find out if it actually happened.

I can if I want to.

This is why I don't want to debate with you. I knew for a fact that you were going to bleat on about whether I could shoot you before you could shoot me. That's got NOTHING to do with the question. The question is "would you DESERVE to die" just because the law says it is ok?

Of course not. But then again it's not "the law" that made the determination of life or death in this situation, it's the hooker. She chose to engage in illegal conduct that authorized the victim to use deadly force against her. She is the responsible party here and what she "deserved" was entirely dependent on HER conduct.

What the VICTIM deserved was not to be robbed at night, a right which he defended lawfully.

Still (purposely) missing the point.

Criminals, dogs...big difference. Dogs are respectable and ought only be shot when they are suffering. Criminals...not so much...they should be in fear of being shot at any time as it helps to dissuade them from committing crimes.

No, rejecting the fallacious argument you present.

You certainly act like one.

Q.E.D.

[Seth]

Q.E.D.

Indeed, you have proven my case by demonstration.

You can't support your insults with facts, whereas I produced facts that you are unable to refute, so you resort to insults, as you always do when you are intellectually defeated...which is always.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

And neener, neener, neener back at you.
