We live in a sad world...

Here in Texas you can use deadly force against a person who is committing a crime on your own property.

There are some things I really dont like about Texas law. This is not one of those things

Trying to find the humor. I promise I am.

Just saying, if he were to try to shoot someone for stealing his stuff, the media is quick to jump on a "racially motivated" or "hate crime" bandwagon if the suspect is a minority. Wasn't really meant to be funny, just saying that there are a number of other social factors that will come into play.

Black people shoot black people all day long.

But when its a half-mexican guy who shoots a black teen Al Sharpton and everyone gets crazy. I like how they posted a mugshot of zimmerman and a pic of treyvon when he was 11 years old.

The new pics show zimmerman in a suit and treyvon with gold teeth looking like a thug. Im far from racist as im hispanic myself and grew up speaking spanish in a white part of texas but theres a lot to the case that we dont know.

I definitely agree that people need to chill the hell out and let the investigators do their job. We do NOT know what happened for sure yet. Sure, its sad that someone so young died. But we do not know the facts of what happened that night, even though many people think they do. I will agree that it sounds like the police probably messed things up a bit initially, but people need to chill and let the investigators figure it out.

Since you have tint, hide inside of it with a Smith & Wesson. Rinse and repeat until the burglary stops.

what happens if you dont have a Smith? can i substitute for either a springfield XDM or a remington 1911?

Here in Texas you can use deadly force against a person who is committing a crime on your own property.

well aint you lucky, here in Michigan, you cant use a gun to protect property, only if your life is in danger .
cant you also still challenge a guy to a dual if he says something disrespectful in the good old lone star state?

I've posted my theft story a few times before. 45 minutes in a restaurant, and I come back to $7400 of damage (no, that is NOT a typo).

Sorry to hear man and karma is a bitch when she steers her ugly head around. It is a sad world we live in where one man will steal from another man instead of investing their time in themselves to live the life they want to live. Thanks for reminding me. I park mine in a garage that I rent out at our apartments, I just park it there to keep it out of the weather and have a place to work on it when I can. I don't lock it because I lock the car and think she's safe, I need to start doing that. It's another sad world where one man can kill another man. You gotta be pretty :q:q:q:qed up to do that.

I will let the man(Zimmerman) have his due day in court before I respond with my thoughts. He is entitled to that. However, I will say, the tapes of him to 911 do not provide him giving any reason for him suspecting the teen of of any implicating behavior. Only that be appeared to be up to no good and appeared to be Black. Not sure that information was worthy of a call to 911.

But as far as a bandwagon, I see your opinion and it is valid as can be. But, at times, if the crime fits....the term is applicable(not saying the Zimmerman case is but not saying there are not some racially biased factors that played into it either based on his history of past 911 calls and the component of those calls seemingly to show a pattern of those calls surrounding his concerns over primarily minority behavior).
