Indeed.  Those posters think that Texas exists in a vacuum and that
they can do as they please in their state all else be damned.

They seem oblivious they are part of a country.   Much of the material
I read before I made my first post contains comments from readers.   A
great number of them are from fellow trigger-happy people who think
Horn deserves a medal.  A few are from other countries and people see
that Texan aberration as an American aberration, it's only a short
step to making it not an aberration but something typical of the
American mentality.

And voila, the whole country is tarred with the brush that rightfully
belongs to Texas and Texans alone.

It made a huge difference in the minds of the grand jury, who were
people fed up with Houston's crime problem, twice that of New York.
Many of the crimes are committed by illegal aliens trying to cope.
It's easy to see they thought Horn did everyone a favor.

But Horn didn't know the immigration status of the thieves when he
shot them, they could have been first time offenders born in America.
The law should be blind to this, but the grand jury wasn't, I
suspect.

Venerable Joe Horn JUST had to defend himself his lawyer claimed -- an
easy gig.    ELEVEN times he was told by the police dispatcher to STAY
HOME and not go out, which would have kept him safe,
notwithstanding.
