I'm not sure I would shoot a man for stealing truck ... But I do know that if you don't want to risk getting shot , then don't steal.
'Cause some folks will and its not like its a secret.
So no complaints if you do get shot.
The old saying "If you can't do the time ... don't do the crime" comes to mind.

I'm kind of with you on that one. Not saying it's clear one way or the other but I'd hesitate to take a life over something replaceable like a vehicle.

The author needs some education "The criminal became the victim in this reversal of fortune."

No he is still the criminal.

"I wonder why McCann felt the need to use deadly force?"

Because TEXAS, that's why.

Happened here in Spokane too. Gerlach shoots him through the back window, through a headrest and kills a guy as he was driving away. He was aquitted.

Gerlach acquitted in shooting death of fleeing vehicle thief

What do they mean 'approximately three times'? I know a few Texicans, and they can ALL count WAAAAAAAAAAAAy past three.

Approximately forty times I can understand......but three?

1. First shot - Bang.

2. Second shot - Bang.

3. Third shot - Bang.

What's so hard?

It was the reporter that was struggling with the big numbers. But then he also seems to struggle with definitions, and writing paragraphs longer than two sentences.

I Texas, you don't mess with a mans truck. That is worse than messing with his wife.

I was going to move to Texas and become a professional bandito. I've reconsidered.

Tough, isn't it?

My thoughts on killing are just mine ... They come from my experiences in that matter.
If any of you want to kill a guy for stealing a truck , then that is your business.
But whatever you do remember that you can not recall your action back.
Killing is not something to be made light of.
Again I'm not saying I'm right and anyone else is wrong.
Just saying that I'm not sure that I would shot someone for stealing a truck.

Also to clarify my comment about crime and time ...
It was to mean that if you ( a criminal ) do not want something bad to happen to you for committing a crime ... Then do not commit a crime.
Not that anyone should feel free to do whatever they want to the criminal.
But that some folks will shoot you for committing a crime against them.

Why is it that people need to feel pity for those that prey on others? In the preponderance of world's nations, death for such activities has been, and still is, a common consequence.

The entire world, as well as our own nation, has become overpopulated with those that have no regard for the rights and property of others. Without such people, the planet would be a far better place.

With increasing frequency, the increasing population of these individuals proportionally cheapen the value of human life.

It is not about "pity for those who prey on others."

To be blunt , I have killed men before, but I don't feel that stealing a truck is worth killing a man.
That is how I feel , please don't make the mistake of thinking I pity criminals ...


If you or anyone else feels that you are capable of shooting a criminal for stealing a truck and you are legal to do do ... Then fine , feel free.
Just don't expect me to join with you in this case.
