Don't Mess With Texas or Texans.

I love my state.

Joe Horn cleared by Grand Jury for defending himself and his neighbors property by shooting two illegal immigrants robbing his neighbor's home.

In my state he would probably get the death penalty....and would sit in prison for 50 years wasting tax dollars before they actually killed him.

Yep -- moving to Texas from Minnesota was quite a cultural shock to the old system. In Minnesota, you damn near had to have bullets in you before you could even think about defending yourself. Texas sure as he11 ain't perfect, but I've got to say that things like this I can really appreciate about the Lone Star state.......

Video of the Rally:

http://patdollard.com/2007/12/video-...lack-panthers/

"On December 2nd, 2007 Quanell X and a tiny group of followers tried to stage a protest at Joe Horn’s house but they were chased away by … all » hundreds of angry neighbors chanting “USA! USA!”

This video shows the arrival of Quanell X and his New Black Panther Party pals and their hasty retreat."

This is my favorite video of 2007.

If it's not perfect, perfect doesn't exist!

Thats scary Scott. I was thinking the exact same thing

The Castle Doctrine is a deterrent, and it sounds like the South Americans were not stealing to feed their family. With them dead, no need for tax payers to foot the bill. Sometimes, ya gotta thin the heard.


Oh yeah, GOD BLESS TEXAS! I love my state!
