Other State Incredibly Insane Reasons For TX Bill to Remove their 'Castle Doctrine'

[Stomper]

In Texas, State Representative Terry Meza (D-Irving) has introduced HB196. Her bill would repeal the state's "castle doctrine." This doctrine allows a homeowner to use deadly force against an armed intruder who breaks into his home.

Now listen to what she has to say...
"I'm not saying that stealing is okay," Meza explained. "All I'm saying is that it doesn't warrant a death penalty. Thieves only carry weapons for self-protection and to provide the householder an incentive to cooperate. They just want to get their loot and get away. When the resident tries to resist is when people get hurt. If only one side is armed fewer people will be killed."
Meza was quick to reassure that her bill "would not totally prevent homeowners from defending themselves.
Under the new law the homeowner's obligation is to flee the home at the first sign of intrusion. If fleeing is not possible he must cooperate with the intruder. But if violence breaks out it is the homeowner's responsibility to make sure no one gets hurt. The best way to achieve this is to use the minimum non-lethal force possible because intruders will be able to sue for any injuries they receive at the hands of the homeowner."

"In most instances the thief needs the money more than the homeowner does," Meza reasoned. "The homeowner's insurance will reimburse his losses. On balance, the transfer of property is likely to lead to a more equitable distribution of wealth. If my bill can help make this transfer a peaceful one so much the better."

Dead perpetrators cannot sue the home owner for injuries sustained while committing a (arguably) violent crime..... problem solved.

[titsonritz]

Yeah, I'm sure it'll go over great in Texas.

This cannot be true.....

This is what some other states have as law.

This is what happens with attitude shifts and migration of people from other regions - their attitudes come with them.

But primarily it is about taking control of people, taking power away from them and shifting it to the government.

Can you spell "armed robbery". But I guess that's okay. Maybe she'll propose a bill to change the definition of "armed robbery" to when someone steals your arm.
Just kidding ... or maybe not.

I think she already has:

Transfer of property? Like this is an equitable business deal or something!

Does my 'transfer' of a round of ammo to the robber equate to 'transfer of property' ?
