B&E in Texas: exciting but short career

[blarg]

A friend of ours' home was broken into a few weeks ago, probably same crew. Glad they got theirs.

Another story ends well. An armed citizen IS the best deterrent of crime!

Now the ACLU may get involved are sue the homeowner because the "poor" victim may have life long injuries which will effect their job career! :sarcastic:

I hope that the homeowner will be okay on this.

not in Texas! In Texas you cannot be sued in a civil court for a self defense shooting. Unless you are convicted on criminal charges you're protected. As the article says local police didn't file charges so the case went to a grand jury. Generally the grand jury won't indict if local LE didn't file charges unless there's something fishy like obviously suspicious circumstances and the shooter is the police chief's brother or the like.

Those people will never learn. If you want to go around breaking into peoples homes, expect to have your ass handed to you at some point. Or to put it more simply, they got what they deserved.
