TRUE STORY FROM... "THE HOUSTON HERALD NEWSPAPER" IN HOUSTON, TEXAS
Last Thursday Night Around Midnight, A Woman From Houston, Texas Was Arrested, Jailed, And Charged With Manslaughter For Shooting A Man 6 Times In The Back As He Was Running Away With Her Purse. ~
The Following Monday Morning, The Woman Was Called In Front Of the arraignment Judge, Sworn In, And asked to explain her actions. The woman replied, "I was standing at the corner bus stop for about 15 minutes, waiting for the bus to take me home after work. I am a waitress at a local cafe.. I was there alone, so I had my right hand on my pistol, that was in my purse, that was hung over my left shoulder. All of a sudden I was being spun around hard to my left. As I caught my balance, I saw A man running away from me with my purse. I looked down at my right hand and I saw that my fingers were wrapped tightly around my pistol. The next thing I remember is saying out loud, "No Way Punk! You're not stealing my pay check and tips." I raised my right hand, pointed my pistol at the man running away from me with my purse, and squeezed the trigger of my pistol 6 times! ~ When asked by the arraignment judge, "Why did you shoot the man 6 times? ~ The woman replied under oath, "Because, When I pulled the trigger the 7th time, It only went click." ~ The woman was acquitted of all charges. She was back at work at the cafe the next day! Now that's Gun Control....Texas Style |

But hey, why let reality get in the way of a good, ol'-fashioned killing? Everyone loves a good murder!
good thing the guy was not a muslim,, she would be in prison for life if it had been a muslim...

Um... what? You do know this didn't really happen, right?
As if our country puts any value on the lives of muslims.
I'm calling bullshit. And what's with the random capitalization?

Love the rightwing trolls who swing by to make this utterly obvious FAKE fictional fairy tale even *more* "fantastic" by saying something utterly ridiculous about Muslims. Racist, much????
I always heard that it was extremely *cowardly* and not "good form" to shoot someone in the back. Why this is this fictional big bad Texan woman being so lauded for (in this made up fictional story) being a complete yellow-bellied coward?? Does not compute... but then again most rightwing lying propoganda doesn't make any sense to those who choose to live in reality.
Why attribute the story to a newspaper that doesn't exist? Is it simple laziness or does this fiction writer simply want to thumb his nose at the simpletons who eagerly believe every word of every email that takes us further from civilized society. We used to think shooting someone in the back was a bad thing, now rightwingers celebrate it.

Unless it's a kid you catch in your house, or a thief you intentionally go out to confront on your neighbor's property. Then Texans and Fox will rally around you as a national hero.
I think, deep down, most wingnuts understand that all these cuckoo talking points, assertions, and stories are untrue.
They don't care because they are comforted by them.
Even the ones that trigger their rage are comforting, in the way that ritual is comforting.
Ye gods. "Woo, murder!"
Just remember, folks! The REAL enemy is some unarmed low-life committing purse-snatching crimes, and you should shoot 'em dead! The billionaires who've robbed the whole country blind are your very bestest friends and you should vote to support their interests!
To last Anon post: BINGO!!!!
Nothing like a bright shiney object of distraction, which in the case of T-tardz is lauding murderers.
You know, I think gruaud is right. The whole wing-nut mindset is like a religion, a ritualistic faith. That's why facts are so powerless - the facts, the reality, are just not relevant. In fact, because the whole beleif system is based on denial of fact, bringing up and "arguing" facts is nothing less than an attack on them, tantamount in their minds to a hate crime.
Apparently making a smart-ass remark in court acquits you of all charges. Tell me, what universe does this story take place in?
