150 years ago the neighbors would get together, hunt these guys down and hang them from a tree. Horses were the same as cars then.

I ain't losing sleep that a thief is dead... but once he left the property, there was no longer an imminent threat. Dude is screwed.

Does Texas go by the law or by Indefatigable's personal opinions?

This is why I believe certain property crimes should allow for lethal force.
Wallet? No
Breaking into my shed? Perhaps
Car? Yes

So you think the victim of theft is more deserving of being shot than the thief? Says everything anyone needs to know about you.

I’m surprised that’s not legal in Texas

If someone steals something over a certain value it should be completely legal for the owner to kill that person. It should be pretty simple, if someone does steal something of value then they are willing to risk their life to steal it.
People should have rights in their favor to protect their shite.

Texas charged him with murder, so you tell me.

this doesn't seem like it should be a crime on it's face, but the issue is you can't legally have people just shooting at a moving vehicle in the middle of the streets. if he misses and hits an innocent bystander then shite is even worse. I understand that he didn't, but laws are made for everyone. If this guy is allowed to legally shoot in traffic chasing a stolen vehicle, then someone else with much worse aim would be allowed to do the same.
hopefully the judge uses the fact he didn't hit anyone else to give him the lightest sentence possible for discharging a firearm in public. he shouldnt be charged with murder though, the dude stole his car.

Couple of things:
The perps buddy was in on a crime that lead to a death. There are some laws that tar and feather the guys who are there for the crime with serious offenses.
Harris County, you say? How in the heck are they going to find a jury where no one they know or are related to has been affected by vehicle theft? Or will it be a jury of family and friends of other car theft perps? How do you decide jury composition in any urban area?

why did you put a check next to this? this is debatable IMO. other means would include calling the cops and reporting the crime haha

He can claim that he thought his life was in danger when he approached the subject by the side and suspected he was pointing a gun at him.

Felony Discharge of a Firearm From a Vehicle
It is a second-degree felony to knowingly and willfully discharge a firearm from a vehicle within 1,000 feet of any person. The driver of the vehicle, if the driver is not the person who discharged the firearm from within the vehicle, can also be charged with a felony in the third degree if he knowingly directs any person to discharge any firearm from the vehicle.

Was he convicted? You can indict a ham sandwich.

Look at this moron. Apparently he thinks nobody can ever defend their life if they are sitting in a vehicle.
