I may be re telling some one Else's post, but in Texas the law reads, you can use deadly force to protect yourself , your person, your personal property, and your neighbors self, or personal property!!
if the neighbor asked, then you have a second guarantee in the fact that you become an agent of his property therefore responsible as if it was your own,
the reason that it is this way is because Texas thinks it is more important to protect you and your property than to protect the rights of those who break the law!
if these men did not want to die ,,, they should not have come here,, again,,,, to rob my fellow Texans
if a law enforcement agent would have arrived on the scene,he would have had the right too shoot them,, the law in Texas gave the average person that same right!! as well they should have!!
and it has been determend that he did not shoot them in the back , instead it looks like he got both of them in the first shot , hitting one of them in the side the other from the opposite side, like they were weaving in and out at each other, one was mortally wounded at that time , while the other bled out while running away!!
the only question this brings up is, is your personal property worth more than the life of those who wish too take it from you,,, Texas says it is! if you have a problem with that don't come too Texas planing to rob anyone!!
from "rob's, no bull zone"
The burglars shot by Horn had extensive criminal records. Hernando Riascos Torres, 38, and Diego Ortiz, 30, were unemployed illegal immigrants from Colombia. Torres was deported to Colombia in 1999 after a 1994 cocaine-related conviction. These were career criminals and not only are they here breaking into American citizens homes but they broke the law just to get into our country. These two criminals are being supported by the black panthers and civil rights activists which were very much for Mr. Horn going to jail for his heroic action.
