Don't Mess With Texans...

Rabbit sends in the latest DGC addition from the great state of Texas:

Thieves shot while burglarizing Ennis home
ENNIS - One burglar was killed, another injured while trying to burglarize a home just outside of Ennis.

Ellis County officials said the homeowner's father was alerted to two strange men at his son's house.
Dad came over, saw that the burglars had all of his son's guns in a pile, and prevented them from leaving with his son's property. Now, he did this by shooting them both, which is a reasonable and prudent method when faced with multiple goblins who are demonstrably armed. And since this is Texas, not only is dad not likely to face prosecution, but the Castle Doctrine means he can't be sued civilly, either.

Good. Don't mess with a man's castle in Texas.

Dead Goblin Count: 162

That is all.

Sadly, the goblins simply picked the wrong target. Had they gone after a Texas senator instead they likely could have:

1. Been given the guns.
2. Watched said senator quivering with fear in the corner wetting pants.
3. Had legislation passed praising actions and possibly had a park named after them.

In case you hadn't heard us Texans are currently wearing the "cone of shame" due to the actions of some of our "leaders". Thankfully, that Texan didn't get the message!
