Further Proof That Texans Are Some Trigger-Happy Crackers

I guess I should beware of crazy people when I'm walking outside now.

Gech might mistake me for a robber and pop a cap in my ass >=(

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just say "it's texas", shrug your shoulders, and give it up.

This is the answer to all the shit that happens here.

It's Texas.

It doesn't have to sound like the correct way to handle something, or the correct legal thing to do, or even make a lick of sense.

It's Texas.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

* Considering it is Pasadena, the chances that they would have gotten away and continue to burglarize for a while is average at least, low at best. Quite a number of cases regarding theft and breaking & entering are reported but few rarely end with the thief being caught. Those sneaky thieves.

Furthermore, since this is Pasadena, the Police force is mostly volunteer. They may not be officially official cops but they aren't going to go vigilante and just blast some stupid Mexicans for stealing worthless crap. If they had to at the most "extreme" they would just disable the two in the event they will stupid enough to try to point a weapon at an officer; they aren't going to fire so many times until they die unless they're some nutso cop.

*None of this is really relevant to what you dudes are going on about, I'm just stating what would have most likely happened due to having uncles that are part of the police force, both in Houston and Pasadena. Also no, they aren't taught to aim at the "center mass", you aim for the arm carrying the weapon to disable if they are armed while not hitting any vital points. They train them to be precise shooters (even the volunteers! we don't want someone who can't aim to be toting a gun), not run-of-the-mill "hope I get you in the right ballpark" shooters. In the event that they decide to fire back then you may shoot to kill. Then again, most cops around here aren't just carrying some 9mm pistol. Some have to carry semi-automatics since most criminals are better armed than the police force themselves, so usually only the daring try to go against the cops. Again, that doesn't really relate to what is being discussed.

In any case, Grandpa Shoot 'Em Up disregarded the words of an officer and decided to take the law into his own hands. The only way I could see him not being charged with anything is if Dr. Phil decided to be his judge. Or if the "It's Texas" effect decides to occur. Even though the odds logically are stacked against him, in Texas the legal system can be just backwards retarded.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Rifles.

Most of the crime in Houston are from the various gangs with fully automatics.

Then again, the Mara Salvatrucha never did get along with the Norteños nor the Sureños.

Still not sure how they can sneak all that shit without someone noticing, then again the borders have a few holes that are never guarded. Then again, most of it is crap that hasn't seen use in quite some time. Maybe they thought it was broken.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
