Because he's white and the two dirtbags were Colombian. Any time a white man is the aggressor, it's automatically racially motivated. :rolleyesedit:

Oh, crap. Don't get me started on the racial double-standard.

I don't know what I would do in that situation. I've never been charged by criminals running backwards at me.

Back when it happened it seems like I heard that in Texas you are allowed to also defend your neighbor's property.

Let see a man with a shotgun, and you and a buddy run at him in a threatening manner...
isn't that called death by stupidity.

Ok, so they were running backwards at him in a threatening manner
My mistake, I thought he shot them when they came onto his property and threatened him.

Funny how the cut and dry, good guy beats bad guy, stuff doesn't make the news much. However, controversial situations like this one and the lady that shot the biker get top billing. Kinda like it's only news when it can be argued that the good guy is bad.

You guys know that these two scumbags had previously been deported, so really they had no rights to begin with.

It was a justified shoot IMO...Getting shot while stealing someone else's hard earned property is an occupational hazard that, if more scum took into consideration before stealing, the United States would be a better place.

I laughed out loud when I read this!

I really don't think I would've pulled the trigger if I were in that situation. But, deep down inside I was happy to hear that he got off.

The coverage on CNN on this was hilarious. Anderson Cooper and a couple of his guests were literally scrtaching their heads!
