This came out in my area, since Dallas said they wont arrest for "non-violent" crimes...
we're all home, if you try stealing stuff- its going to become a violent crime.
Ha!
I really like the 'use of deadly force' laws in TX. It's pretty clear about taking something that doesn't belong to you. It creates a certain level of respect.Quote:

They are especially clear after dark...it's a real bad idea to be on someone else's property without their permission after dark.Quote:
