None of these are punishable with death.
What if, and this is just a what if... The 'looters' knew the house owners and where picking up some personal property, or some property they were given permission to get.
Let's say the men did not know english, and this man shot them over nothing, over his WANT to kill.
I believe this man was forced into this situation because the local govt. there did not do their job. The guy waited for cops, and no one came. Too busy handing out parking tickets, no doubt. Now the media is portraying these criminals as "good family men." I don't know any good family men who go around robbing people's homes. I don't believe this man was on a killing mission. I believe he was pissed that Police hadn't come yet, knew they wouldn't do anything in the aftermath had they arrived when the guys were gone. I agree the man went a bit overboard in his words, but not in his actions.
Perhaps those things are not punishable by death, but he certainly acted within Texas Law.
Once upon a time, these things WERE punishable by death, and amazingly these hanice crimes were few and far between (imagine that!!!). We have become a culture of criminals, allowing people to get away with whatever the hell they want. Politicians and lawyers and liberals have brought us to this point.
This man acted in accordance with the law. We can not be ciminalized for what we say, so his comments in the moment are not, in my opinion, relevant. His previous actions in his life have shown me that. He is an upstanding citizen. Good enough guy for a neighbor to trust his property to the man. He has raised kids, legally can own a firearm, worked for a living, provided for his family. The guy is a good, righteous guy if you ask me. What he did was right. Give him a medal. I bet no one ever robs that house again!
We need more folks like him in our world. It would make for less criminals, that is for sure!
I don't know what I would do in that situation. Thoughts of this type of aftermath would cross my mind and perhaps keep me from acting...especially since it was a bit of a non-direct threat. But, it WAS a threat, nonetheless. He may have saved someone in the future from being hurt by these criminals.
I may react differently when handling situations between the differences of bodily and civil injury, but deep inside of me, I believe one is just as bad as another.
Many of us wake up at 5:00 am, head to work, miss our families and loved ones so that we may work our azzes off to provide for them... We make an honest effort to live within the law, to support our society and our families as best we can. Then to have someone come in and strip us of that work, that effort and that time away from our families...to make our sacrifices away from those we love pointless...it damages me on a deeper level than simply my wallet.
