Another good court decision

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5864151.html

A while back I posted on a guy who went outside to confront two guys who had broken into his neighbors house. The guy had called the police and the 911 operator advised the guy to stay in his house. Since the neighbor was a good friend, the guy told the 911 operator he was going out...and out he went with his 12 gage. He told the two bad guys to stand till or he would shoot. Apparently, one lunged at him and bang, bang, bang.

Texas has a law, as should all states, that the use of deadly force is allowable to defend property. Well, the guy gets arrested..the case goes to grand jury, and lo-and-behold he is not charged with any crime. Well, no shit. He prevented two illegal aliens, one of whom was previously arrested and deported for criminal activity from completing another crime. They had already broken into the neighbors house and were attempting to get away with stolen goods.

I wish I had a neighbor like this guy.
