Home Invaders Shot in Texas
2006-11-27
Tough weekend for scumbags in the Southwest, see earlier entry from Albuquerque:
(11/27/06 - KTRK/HOUSTON) - Two men were shot during an apparent robbery attempt in the Clear Lake area Sunday night. Police say four men armed with a gun barged into a home and tried to tie up the homeowner. The homeowner had his own gun and fired on the suspects. Two of the four were hit. The other two tried to get away.

"I ran outside and there was a guy lying right there shot and we drove around," said neighbor Brittany Hubbell. "We got in the car and drove around. And there was another guy in the red shot over there."

The homeowner was not hurt. The two suspects who were shot were taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
Not the morgue? Better luck next time.
Drag 'em back in and finish the job. Don't forget to hose off the blood trail before the cops arrive.
Homeowner needs more time at the practice range.

#3  In most home invasions the victims are badly beaten, and then crudely tied up.

At the risk of being politically incorrect, be aware that Hispanics are doing almost all of these.

If I am ever on a jury where a homeowner is charged for killing an invader, count me in as a holdout.

Translation: We wanted a piece of the action too, but all the bad guys we found were already shot. :(

#1  In Texas, you are pretty much allowed to shoot miscreants at night on a no-questions-asked basis. A holdover from the old ranching days, it strikes me as a rather civilized policy.
