Texas House Bill 196 - Repeal Castle Doctrine
Dec 9, 2020 12:19:42 #
In Texas, State Representative Terry Meza (D-Irving) has introduced HB196. Her bill would repeal the state's "Castle Doctrine." This doctrine allows a homeowner to use deadly force against an armed intruder who breaks into his home.
Now listen to what she has to say...
"I'm not saying that stealing is okay," Meza explained. "All I'm saying is that it doesn't warrant a death penalty. Thieves only carry weapons for self-protection and to provide the householder an incentive to cooperate. They just want to get their loot and get away. When the resident tries to resist is when people get hurt. If only one side is armed fewer people will be killed."
Meza was quick to reassure that her bill "would not totally prevent homeowners from defending themselves.
Under the new law the homeowner's obligation is to flee the home at the first sign of intrusion. If fleeing is not possible he must cooperate with the intruder. But if violence breaks out it is the homeowner's responsibility to make sure no one gets hurt. The best way to achieve this is to use the minimum non-lethal force possible because intruders will be able to sue for any injuries they receive at the hands of the homeowner."
"In most instances the thief needs the money more than the homeowner does," Meza reasoned. "The homeowner's insurance will reimburse his losses. On balance, the transfer of property is likely to lead to a more equitable distribution of wealth. If my bill can help make this transfer a peaceful one so much the better."
This means that your 2 yr olds and 3 month old children in Texas have to flee their home with their parents in the event some home invader interested in “the peaceful redistribution of wealth” breaks in one night.
Perhaps a call or more to our Texas State Representatives highlighting your objections might be in order.

Grow the eff up, princess. Are you too cerebrally challenged to take two seconds and Google 'texas hb 196'?
Do we have to stop the forum and 'splain it to you or do you just need things shoved down your throat?

No link, no references generally means the post is just an opinion and should be stated as such or the person making the post is maliciously trying to get you to believe some propaganda he or she has made up or found on some wacko site. If they tell you to google it yourself you can bet your last dollar it’s a lie and you would be wasting your time.
The people who do this are usually from the far right and should be ignored at all times. Beware, trying to debate with them will usually end up in frustration because they have drank the kool-aid and there will be no getting through to them and you may end up punching a hole in your computer screen. Just remember you can’t debate with a block of cement or a post.

If only leftists would live by that standard.
Actually, I agree with it ... but you don't. How many times have I asked for a reference, followed by leftists ... much like yourself ... soiling their knickers.

How often do I make a statement that requires a reference?
When I do a copy and paste (which is not too often lately) I always supply the link to it.
If someone wants to make a long-winded speech and try to throw some supposed facts around they should
begin their post with "in my opinion" it sure would cut down on "you're a liar" comments.

You make risibly false claims regularly without links.
In fact, the surest wat to send one of y’all into a spittle spewing rage is to ask a question.

Your sarcastic, uninformed, and deflective spews require no reference. Your repetitive 'copy and paste' of MediaBiasStrokeCheck is as worthless as your 'opinion'. You are boring but mildly entertaining.
