Default Re: Man who killed burglary suspects cleared

I think the man who said freeze or I'll shoot was completely within the law of the state and I wish more states had such laws.
In some states, if a woman is being beaten by her husband, the police cannot enter the house to intervene unless she can make it to the door to open it for them, then if the husband says they cannot come in, they must honor that he lives there too and has a right to privacy or some such crap. In the state of Texas if your estranged husband harasses you at work or elsewhere, and you state in front of him and the police that you have the intention of divorcing him, the police have the right to protect you wherever you are.
Sorry, but I like that in a police force. And I like the fact that if I'm being vandalized or robbed whether I'm home or not, my neighbor can protect my property.
