Don't Mess with Texans, Part 2

Suspected burglar shot after allegedly pulling gun on homeowner
SAN ANTONIO -- A man was shot to death after an apparent burglary late Sunday.The shooting happened on the 5,200 block of Northwest Trails just before 11:00 p.m. Click here to watch News 4 WOAI's Kristina De Leon's report.

Police were called after a man's body was found in a grassy area on the side of the road. The 26-year-old had been shot and killed after police say he burglarized a home off Timber Laurel earlier in the night.

Note to goblins, ne'er-do-wells, and other assorted miscreants: Do. Not. Fuck. With. Texans. These crazy sonsabitches will hunt your no-good ass down and kill you.

It appears as though the gentlemen who had been robbed recognized the goblin and went to confront him. Upon confrontation, said goblin displayed a weapon and threatened our hero with it. Said hero, being a Texan and therefore armed to the teeth, shot the goblin down. Please note: The goblin's firearm was not a magic talisman. He lacked the will to use it, even though he was the first to display it. Once again, the gun is not what's dangerous, the person is.

And since this is Texas:
Police are not sure if the homeowner's brother will face any charges, saying the shooting may be considered a case of self defense.

Hell yes. Look, they recognized the dude. Knowing who it was, they went prepared (read: armed). Sure enough, he was dumb enough to threaten them upon confrontation. And, since he lacked the will to follow through, got himself shot dead for his hesitation. We can only assume that he thought merely displaying his firearm would gain him the upper hand; he must not have run into victims who were unwilling to be victims...

Dead Goblin Count: 16

That is all.

Just in case you're wondering, it wasn't me:)

I swear, I really do love reading your view of Texas and Texans. God, I love it here!

"Don't mess with Texas"

My thoughts exactly.

Also note that people like JayG ARE Texas!

Like I've said, bud, you're definitely on the memo list when we take our marbles home and go back to being the Republic of Texas. ;-)

The self defense laws in Texas are different than those here in the PRM in that they are, uh, laws encouraging self defense.

Somewhere, Martha Coakley is weeping.

Hard to beat that, folks.

Not only can we own guns, but we can USE them, too!

Now if we could just do something about the influx of liberals.....

Maybe they had one of the Chuck Norris "I don't call 911" signs.

Goblins have no place in Texas. And lest they forget that, the Texans are only to glad to show them the error of their ways. Permanently.

Now if we could just do something about the influx of liberals.....Well, if the bill allowing concealed carry on campus makes it through the Leg, I reckon about half the hippies at UT Austin will spontaneously crap themselves and run away crying.

The news today is that San Antonio had the largest increase in violent crime of any large city in Texas. This excluding murder. I'd bet you can trace a lot of the "surge" back to, oh, late Aug/early Sept '05 or so...

Just caught that. Love the scene within.

"BUT HE HAD A GUN!!"

"This is Texas. Everybody has guns."
