Meanwhile in Texas

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 we 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."

This is outdated. It was eviscerated if I remember correctly.

Dumb rationalization.
Prove that someone is breaking into your home for the sole purpose of stealing something.

I think this is what the kids used to call blaming the victim.
So...the homeowners should lie back and enjoy it, is that what she's saying?

Are you mother fricking kidding me? Someone needs to hold up this crazy bitch and let her find out what an equitable distribution of wealth really is.

The Nazis want to decriminalize violence by certain individuals because they want to use them as their brown shirts to intimidate certain individuals who hold values different than their own.
I’m shooting any bastard that enters my home without permission and if they survive that I’m going to deliver a coup de grace to the skull so they can’t sue me afterwards. No matter what this crazy bitch says.

I stopped reading at what I quoted. I went back and read the whole thing and thought it HAD to all be some sort of goof.
Duty to flee? Can I get my kids first?

Are you fricking kidding me? Anyone who breaks into someone else's house should be shot on sight.
ETA: I guess it's fake. The actual quote was almost just as bad though:
quote:
Meza has said that her legislation is intended to “require a homeowner to exhaust the potential of safely retreating into their habitation before using deadly force in defense of themselves or their property.”
