Sorry, The Republic of Texas won their independence from Mexico in 1836. A few facts from the article that was linked:

What is absurd is the discraceful, shameless creature who is so irreverent that they would put graffiti on another person's property. There is nothing at all illegitimate about Texas laws. They hold criminals accountable for their misdeeds and put the rights of the victim first, just as it...

Are you sure about that? Not neccesarily, according to Texas law: § 9.43. PROTECTION OF THIRD PERSON'S PROPERTY. A person is justified in using force or deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property of a third person ... etc With all of this pro-criminal...

Maybe this is true in your neck of the woods, but in Texas lethal force is justified in order to protect personal property. If a person disagrees with that, you certainly don't have to live here, nor do you have to break into our homes. Maybe we just don't suffer fools gladly. Name calling...

I am not concerned with whether the home invaders were guilty or not, because they were guilty, and everyone knows it. And just for the record, I think they were treated perfectly fairly. Break into a house in Texas and chances are you will be killed. That's the way it is and that is the way...

I am talking about home invasion robberies and you were talking about drunk driving. The difference is that the topic has nothing to do with drunk driving and everything to do with home invasion. Like I said earlier, if you want to defend the actions of criminals, then do so. Arguing...

The point is that if you are invading a persons home and stealing their possessions in a place where state law dictates that you may be shot and killed for your actions, then you should not be surprised when it happens. This is the law in Texas and if you don't like it you certainly don't have...

I never said that these irreverant crooks gave up their right to life. Do not tell me what I said unless you are quoting me. If these people had been arrested by the police, and then shot by a citzen it would different. If they had not trespassed on private property then it would have been...

This comparison is invalid because it is a logical fallacy. It is a red herring in that you are attempting to steer the conversation away from the actual facts to a situation that is vaguely similar. In other words, you are comparing apples to oranges.

Mike23, with all due respect, sir, I am sure that many criminals agree with you. In regards to the 2nd ammendment, it was intended for private citzens to retain their God given right to protect themselves and their families. We are also allowed to create our own militia to protect ourselves...

What is ridiculous? Saying that every crime should be punishable by death is ridiculous. Drunk driving is not a valid comparison.

Of course not, don't be ridiculous. And don't presume to make your words mine. Like I said, the circumstance of the crime has everything to do with the outcome. These intruders were not executed nor were they subject to the death penalty. These miscreants were stopped from committing a vile...

Did anyone else notice the conspicuous absence of a question akin to "Would you vote for a sleazeball lyin'-through-his-teeth crook?" Seriously though, the mainstream media has very little credibility (i.e. CNN or FOX News) and I wouldn't trust the results of any quiz. I am going with what I...

Maybe this is true in a world of ideals, but in the real world of practicality, cricumstance and imperfection, and in Texas, it is not.

I would rather have a gun in my hand than a cop on the phone. The bottom line is that if these two selfish crooks had not been trespassing on private property and stealing from someone who worked hard for what they have, then they would not be pushing up daisies. I have no sympathy for these...
