Seriously, we see this all the time from retards like Granite, artie, Town and others - they seem to think that a rebuttal criticizing someone's lack of wit is clever.
It's not.
It's retarded.
You retards should knock it off.
Well, it's not clever to point out a lack of something dude, it's more observation. If you do possess wit then start showin it dude. Your ultra boring 'tard' nonsense is witless and pretty ironic if that's the only level of recourse you're capable of.
If it isn't then start displaying it. Share this creative wit you've kept under a bushel for so long. Don't be shy!
Doesnt matter if they are home or not, texans have the right to protect both their own property and that of their neighbors.
Well that's good, its an even better statement for the cops to say you were worried for their safety too though I'd think.
Actually I wouldn't expect him to know for sure if his neighbors were home, and I would not say it is his duty to check first before acting. It SHOULD be risky and dangerous breaking in to peoples' homes.

Straight on that. They should be ready to be shot if they decide its worth breaking in. Especially these days with all invasion burglaries. No one should have to wait to see how bad they can hurt you to protect yourself and your family.

A quick update on this story...self-defense is the ruling of the day.

Summerlin backyard shooting ruled self-defense
By Francis McCabe
AND Brian Haynes
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
The man who shot and killed a would-be burglar in his backyard last month will not face criminal charges.
After reviewing the case, the Clark County district attorney's office decided the man acted in self-defense when he pulled the trigger March 20 in his Summerlin home.
"The homeowner was acting in defense of self and defense of his (home)," Assistant District Attorney Chris Owens said.
The shooting, which happened about 9:30 a.m. on the 2100 block of Spurs Court, near Town Center Drive and Sahara Avenue, killed Demarcus Carter, a 19-year-old with a history of committing residential burglaries.
The resident shot Carter multiple times through a backyard window, police said. Carter, who was unarmed, died in the yard.
Authorities did not identify the resident. Neighbors said he was in his late 50s and began renting the home about six months ago. They described him as a quiet person who kept to himself.
Owens said evidence suggested Carter was casing homes to burglarize the morning of the shooting.
"A neighbor saw the deceased casing other homes. He was knocking on doors and wandering around by the side yards," Owens said.
Investigators think Carter scaled an 8-foot cinder-block wall to enter the backyard where he was shot. The entrance to the yard was closed by a padlocked iron gate.
The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
Out, Out, Brief Candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more, It is a tale told by an idiot, Full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. W.S.
2 If the thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed.
This is when you don't know their intentions. Which is why in the day time the rules are a little different. Of course if you do know the intentions and would be a capital crime, you can defend yourself just the same.
