Isn't that a justifiable shooting in Texas? Or does it depend on what nationality the victims are?

Attacking a man with 7-year-old boy and 5-year-old girl with a gun is pathetic.

Who even cares if they were on your property. Losers with nothing better to do than hate on others who are trying to enjoy the outdoors...

pathetic.

it's sad to see what Texas has turned into.

Here you go:

Minority youngsters dying weekly on Chicago's streets

So far this school year, 36 children and teens have been murdered -- more than one a week -- and Pfleger is among a chorus of weary Chicagoans who say the slayings aren't getting the attention they deserve.

It's a shame what Illinois has turned into.

LOL.... Nothing new! Chicago is GANGSTER!!!!

We have been since the prohibition era.

We actually have some good movies about it coming out soon too...... Dillinger and friends.

Prohibition still exist today too. Most "kids" who get killed here in Chicago though, are not with their fathers driving ATVs. Most of them are hustling the street corners....

As I said: Chicago == Gangster

Sad to say, but I've met people who just might take pop shots at someone for off-roading on their land. Especially if it happened over and over near and around a containment levy and the authorities couldn't or wouldn't do anything about it. Not much info in the article except that it is a obvious cheap shot at Texas placed on here for others to take more cheap shots at Texans.

Typical.

Looks like the law is working. You cannot legally shoot folks that are merely trespassing.

is the action covered by the castle law or does it have to be a life and death threat rather than a trespassing threat to be considered as covered by the castle law ?

we don't know the whole story, but are you kidding me? firing on 2 small children? what kind of yahoo are you! trespassing does not mean attacking. suppose the land wasn't posted?
even if it was, how about calling the authorities first? maybe the guy didn't realize he was on private property.
Tell me when this thread is updated!

Daily Horoscope for December 22

Gemini

If you're currently keeping something secret it will really start to prey on your mind today and you'll worry about blurting it out at the wrong moment. It's one of those days in which you're absent-minded and completely wrapped up in your own thoughts. As a result, it will be hard to concentrate on anything else and this won't go down well in certain quarters.
