Texas might be going crazy!

Bear in mind this is in Texas of all places. These cockroaches are everywhere trying to outdo each other in how left they go.

Keep this State Representative from Irving in your thoughts. Very dangerous.
Meanwhile in Irving...
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."

Before you guys go crazy with this, keep in mind the language above is not the actual bill but a satirical reiteration by a comedian. Here is the link to the actual bill that Amends the existing law, not repeal it.

If it's on the intranet is has to be true.

There is nothing wrong with the current Castle Doctrine as is. The amendment is part of the Reset agenda.

She is looking to possible restrict the rights of home owners to protect property in a work around law.

Currently you can shoot for reason of theft and home invasion, but new legislation would possible have the home owner face criminal felony charges.

She is sneaking in to "decriminalize being poor". Poor who steal for a living, like career criminals.

Import lots of poor skill-less Latinos to no jobs into Texas, will eventual force many to crime including home invasion.

That’s the second time I read that today. And it just makes me more sad every time.

I did the same thing and (if true) the volume of stupid I'd read there couldn't fit in a shipping container.

I can't stand it when politicians pander to criminals. They should thank the public for taking out the trash for those that dare to trespass with intent.
