Home invasions

[PAMFAM10]

I was thinking that breaking into someones home, regardless of intent, is a big no-no and deserves a punishment sufficient to prevent an instant replay. But that's just me. I know how important it is to show compassion for those folks.

What's wrong with you must everything be a debate with you. You love throwing out these sarcastic post. Nothing about showing compassion towards criminals. Stealing someone TV is alot different than harming someone and taking the TV. As in more charges.

I hope these fools realize a tv is not worth their life.

Not likely since almost no one is ever killed for a tv.

20 years if far to long for a 17 year old who made a very bad decision. Some people murder and only get 20.

I agree, but if he is black, he is doomed.

[Big girl]

A white kid would only get probation

[baddog]

Black, white, green, or purple....invade my home and it is the death penalty. Of course if you say you were only going to take a tv, then maybe I could see you were an honest burglar and only shoot you in the leg.

Texas Penal Code 9.42  Deadly force to protect property

I look at it like this

I have no idea what someone's intentions are when they enter my house......I shoot first and ask questions later.

Family of 5 to protect

 

Teach your son/daughter right from wrong.

 

 

Yes I believe in more strict laws for these crimes

BG - I sometimes admire your tenacity in debates but your race opinion in this one is disappointing.

BG go over to the locker room site and check out the topic  LOVE ME SOME STEPHAN A

Big Girl, if your assertion is correct, how does one correct that?

I agree with most of you.  Anybody comes in my house in the middle of the night, they get shot.   But, we arent talking about that in this case.   Do you give a kid 20 years for a crime where there was no intent to hurt anybody?   That's my issue.    I hate thieves worse than drug dealers, but 20 years is a looong time.

[5GallonBucket]

I agree 20 years is a long time for a first time offender no matter the age.

 

I would say 5 full to 10yrs.

[5GallonBucket]

and I know we have overcrowding and that can be solved easily.....decriminalizing mary jane possession and quicker death penalties for murders/rapist/pedophiles.

 

If there on deathrow why waste electricity/food/health care for them

How does one prove there was no "intent" to harm anyone?

They have no weapons and no one was physically hurt.

Lack of facts again. Intent can be present if the person takes action with the knowledge that it will lead to the commission of a crime. You break in, you may have intent. I'm not waiting for you to show me your plans. Bursts of three coming your way.

See how home invasions stopped with my last post? It works in the real world too. Best deterrent there is.
