TX Rep proposes you cannot defend yourself from home invasion - redistribution of wealth

Who voted for this dummy?
In Texas, State Representative Terry Meza (D-Irving) has introduced HB196. Her bill would repeal the state's "castle doctrine." This doctrine allows a homeowner to use deadly force against an armed intruder who breaks into his home.
Now listen to what she has to say...
"I'm not saying that stealing is okay," Meza explained. "All I'm saying is that it doesn't warrant a death penalty. Thieves only carry weapons for self-protection and to provide the householder an incentive to cooperate. They just want to get their loot and get away. When the resident tries to resist is when people get hurt. If only one side is armed fewer people will be killed."
Meza was quick to reassure that her bill "would not totally prevent homeowners from defending themselves.
Under the new law the homeowner's obligation is to flee the home at the first sign of intrusion. If fleeing is not possible, he must cooperate with the intruder. But if violence breaks out it is the homeowner's responsibility to make sure no one gets hurt. The best way to achieve this is to use the minimum non-lethal force possible because intruders will be able to sue for any injuries they receive at the hands of the homeowner."
"In most instances the thief needs the money more than the homeowner does," Meza reasoned. "The homeowner's insurance will reimburse his losses. On balance, the transfer of property is likely to lead to a more equitable distribution of wealth. If my bill can help make this transfer a peaceful one so much the better."

It sounds to me like she would appreciate someone invading her home, pistol-whipping the shite out of her and taking everything she owns. For equality! I mean, equity!

Or....and this is a radical idea.........maybe let the police do their fricking jobs and get the weapons away from the shitbag useless motherfrickers who rob houses. frick this whackadoo bitch with the IQ of a potato.

I REFUSE to accept that this is real. Attempts to persuade me through links and actual evidence will be ignored. Much like the Progressives, I am going to protect my feelings at the cost of truth here and bury my head in the sand. Thank you and good night.

Oh. My. God. I just can't even rebut this without multiple curse words. It's impossible to reason with this kind of black hole of logic
