Once Again, Killing Thieves has Consequences

[Old Arkansawyer]

And the guy that did the shooting was not the owner. Probably a minimum
wage employee. He messed up his life, for what?

As to the reason some minor offences aren't prosecuted. Prisons cost
taxpayer's money and the ones we have are already over crowded. Not
many of us want to pay more tax to build new prisons for minor
offenders. Money!

 

[Old Arkansawyer]

Besides all that, I'm sure the 2 guys both swore to pay the minimart
back, or so said Jimmy Buffet.

Maybe we should take a page out of Islam's laws and lop off a few fingers,
or the whole hand for stealing.

You mean like Sharia law?

And then folks wonder why I'm not enthusiastically in favor of everyone carrying a loaded firearm everywhere and all the time...

I used to think that way till the border was opened, wide open for criminals and thugs from everywhere in the world. Now I
think the more guns that are carried by Texans the better. It
makes it harder for gun grabbers to come after them without
paying a steep price.

Today there is No Deterrent, jail, prisons are a joke for the most part so recidivism is rampant , just what can we expect? Most local DA’s are covered up, not enough time or staff. Solutions????
I say bring back prison farms, go to work at 7, lunch, back to work til 5, then to school, finish high school or/ and trade school.

My question is how long after the individual was shot before police found them. And if the other thief would of taken his friend to the hospital right away would he of lived? To me the thief that lived is responsible for the death for not getting him aid. And second this is also on the lawmakers/ district attorney's who refuse to convict criminals of misdemeanor crimes like stealing beer.

And DAs that apparently decide to prosecute the wrong person. (I say that with the limited information on this case so far and that may well change my opinion when more comes out.)

Well, Delon is still in jail. Just checked. Probably doesn't know he's been done wrong, poor sad sack. Probably doesn't even have a lawyer....oh, wait.

What brand beer ?????

 

[Muss Muggins]

In Texas? Lone Star, of course . . .

What brand beer ?????

 

[Muss Muggins]

That’s the Magistrate Judge assigned to hear preliminary matters. Jail records typically don’t include counsel. I wonder if that’s a surety bond?

Dunno about Texas, but NM would only specify 'cash only' or 'property,' with the assumption nearly all are surety.

I did notice he had been served a warrant, so there was either a McLaughlin hearing after a warrantless arrest or a magistrate found probable cause before issuing a warrant that was subsequently served.

Simply put, you cannot use deadly force unless you are threatened with deadly force.

Everything else is commentary.

You or others

When I was in the Air Force in Texas about 70 years ago, I remember
Lone Star beer. It had a picture of a horse standing on it's hind legs
on the label. It was said that it was the only beer in the country with
a picture of the brewery on the label.

And Camel cigarettes had a picture of its factory on every pack......Ben

Texas statutes currently on the books goes farther than any other jurisdiction . It also flys in the face of Tennessee vs Garner , and is ripe to be at least partially overturned . And Texas juries have a history of being quirky about the unwritten concept of " .... Because He Needed Shooting " .

********************

Absolutely , the current trends is various jurisdictions catagorically refusing to ever prosecuting misdemeanors is a big step to societal disorder , if not eventual collaspe
But we have not yet reached the level of anarchy depected in Mad Max , or the Purge .

But we have not yet reached the level of anarchy depected in Mad Max , or the Purge .

But we sure have gotten a lot closer over the past year. Only a Star Chamber, and a Judge Paul Kersey can save us now.

No need to speculate. FBI — Table 12 Violent crime (murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault) was down 0.7%, property crime down 4% in 2019 from 2018; we'll know about 2019 to 2020 next month.

2018 to 2019...aka - the good ole days. Lets revisit this when the 2020 to 2021 statistics are out, like I said in my earlier post, "over the past year"

How does Tenn. v Garner apply in this case?
