It's OK to shoot an escort if she won't have sex with you...

[Cecil Rhodes]

So, let me try and get this straight. You are holding someone else's property and for whatever reason you refuse to give it back.

The property owner then draws a gun and shoots you, paralysing you with a wound from which you subsequently die.

The case goes to trial and the shooter is acquitted because the law says he was within his rights to do so?

That is just fucked-up beyond words.

No . What is fucked up is

1] Stealing from someone while in their presence when they have a gun and tell you to give their property back and you refuse .

2] Ridiculing someone who has no say in what happened nor was he involved that only commented on the what and the why of the outcome of the case .

I guess you would think differently if this case involved the scuffing of a pair of sneakers instead of taking $150.00 .

[Cecil Rhodes]

Doesn't it just aggravate you that by disparaging Texas and disagreeing with you I've committed a shooting offense and yet the only thing you can do is give me a thumbs down? What losers!

You told me to give you a thumbs down . ...... remember ?

As far as aggravating me you don't . That would be on the level of you doing the same thing when I say 2 + 2 = 4 and you say it is not .

Nope. I'll never understand, thank goodness, the basic idiocy of a culture in which it's somehow ok to whip out a gun and use it at the least provocation and then for the law to uphold your right to do so.

Yes i know, back from a looong hiatus.

But to be honest, the whole story is just crazy.

First, maybe it s the canadian in me (hey, nobody is perfect) but just carrying a gun around is crazy to me.

Second, no matter if i am stealing or i am getting robbed, MY LIFE IS NOT WORTH 150$, period ! Hell, i probably make that in a couple of hours of work anyways.
Once she saw the gun she should have just thrown the money and scram, no way around that. Her resisting is the craziest - stupidest part of the story
She probably died because of her own stupidity, do not argue with the guy holding the gun.

Just my 2 cents though.

ROTFLMAO ........ Bush is from Connecticut

Being born here doesn't make him from here. He has lived in Texas nearly all his life.

And I'll bet that makes everyone in Connecticut just a tad relieved.....

somebody gets it

[trish]

Yes it's stupid to argue with someone with a gun. What's not to get about that? But it's criminal not to prosecute a man who shot and killed a woman because she refused to give back a $150 escorting fee on the basis that he thought he didn't get what he paid for.

he was prosecuted and was acquitted by a jury . don't even play that escorting crap either . we all know what it is .

[trish]

And the jury was full of crazy ass Texans. They're always talking about personal responsibility in Texas but they won't even hold a criminal responsible for shooting and killing a woman because she refused to give back a $150 escort fee on the basis that he thought he didn't get what he paid for. Criminal, disgusting and fucked-up. Only in Texas.
