Further Proof That Texans Are Some Trigger-Happy Crackers

I still don't understand why people accept death as a reasonable penalty for theft.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Lethal force should always be the last resort. That clearly was not the case here.

Some have asserted that the criminals-turned-victims "deserved" what they got. Please explain to me how the loss of your life is fair punishment for breaking and entering. Personally, I don't feel the loss of one's life is fair punishment for anything, but I can at least understand it in a select few instances. A crime as petty as this, though, one that would hardly warrant extensive jail time, warranting death as retribution is beyond absurd. The value with which some of you put on all that we have, all that we ever will have, is saddening.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm criticizing the use of lethal force, and people contending that it was somehow justified. Nothing more.

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

Stop suggesting that is what people should do.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this exactly what the police would have done in a situation similar to this one?
