Well the meme you posted said 70-80 so apparently that was the author’s cut off. You can go as low as you want to but I would venture to guess in about 80% of the people younger than 30 voted for Biden and other Dems. You can spin it anyway you want it but the 70 to 80 year olds we’re not elected by 70 to 80 year olds.

No conflict. The 80 year old people are about 5% of the voting population. 95% of the younger people who are complaining or the ones that elected them.

And I’m sure you know this answer but I have seen people at 2 AM walking up and down the street looking at open garage doors. They are obviously looking to commit a burglary. Can deadly force be justified because you believe something? They are all looking for the opportunity. Can you legally use deadly force because you suspect something?

Got to love the media. She fired several shots and it appears that at least one hit him as he died a few feet away. Ya’ think!? Clearly the law doesn’t allow the use of deadly force for a class C misdemeanor (actually it does in limited circumstances) it is a homicide. It is not legally even Manslaughter which is to recklessly kill someone. She simply shot him out of fear which is not legal. If the guy had a crowbar, had pull the window screen off or was trying to, etc., she could reasonably have been preventing a burglary and deadly force is lawful at that point. But…. will a grand jury indict her? That’s a whole different issue. She does have (I don’t believe valid but plausible enough for a grand jury) justification. The word “fear” does not appear in the Texas Penal Code but everyone says, it is legal to shoot if you were in fear. Nope. You could shoot anyone and simply say they scared me. What the law does say is that you have a reasonable belief (which will be determined by someone else) that you were stopping the crime of robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, etc. It is my opinion that legally it takes more than a person looking through a window. I mean you could say that you saw someone walking through your yard at 2 AM and thought they were going to break in and shoot if that was legal. Maybe just a neighborhood kid taking a shortcut. There has to be a reasonable belief that the crime was about to be committed. There are too many what if‘s without knowing what really happened. Was he shining a flashlight through the window and it sounded like he was prying on it? Then likely justified stopping a burglary. The problem is all we have a news media report which in many cases is almost meaningless. About the only thing we can be sure of is that the guys is dead. I have a hard time believing the DA is going to push hard for a homicide charge in this case. Maybe, but I doubt it. So this woman gets scared and killed somebody. Again going strictly by the law, if all this guy was doing was peeping, it is not lawful to use deadly force. A part of the law that is on her side is that she does not have to prove that she was allowed to use deadly force. The way the Texas Penal Code reads in self-defense is that the state (DA) has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was not reasonable. If I was a betting man I would say no indictment and she walks.

A shot at you how? If you think is in anyway had anything to do with you, you’re using way too much thought process. I quoted no one and was thinking of no one when I made my statement. I was only pondering the thought of, would smashing something prevent a suicide? You finished your statement by saying almost exactly the same thing.

Maybe we have a psychiatrist or psychologist on board. Would smashing stuff prevent suicide? I have known several people that have committed suicide but no close family members. I have seen probably more than 100 as a police officer. For many of them, i think I know the underlying issues. A few lived alone and could have screamed, smashed or destroyed anything out of anger. I don’t think smashing their cell phone would have stopped their final actions. I have no issue with this woman’s actions. If nothing else it is helping her with her own issues. Good for her. Maybe it just seems as the article and/or other woman have made this a suicide prevention. I have my doubts of that attempt.

Well, some people’s feelings get hurt….. (from the video) You’ve got to be kidding me!!!!

To some extent I understand. Tearing paper, popping balloons, etc. I am more wondering about smashing computer monitors with a baseball bat. What happens when they don’t have the smash room to go to?

Since I don’t have a smidgeon off a clue, is destroying property with a baseball bat good therapy for people who are experiencing anger?

What is the old saying about a prevent defense? It prevents you from winning.

I think it was 34-13. Scored 21 to tie, 7 in OT.

I believe 28
