racer254 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Read the verbiage here: https://legiscan.com/TX/text/HB196/id/2214951 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 we 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." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Having a vagina qualifies you to be a woman, period. It should not be a qualifier to hold office. They tried to float this shit around here , thinking they would have a friend in Chief Craig. He totally blew it out of water. You break into someone’s house be prepared to be justifiably shot or killed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
