Are You Kidding Me?

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 her 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 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 what happens when we have people in power with very little brain matter.

Who or what kind of a person would vote for this nut case?

[Gone2Three]

You called it right. This bill will go nowhere but she will be a hero to her people for trying.

[ol' school]

I call that bill BS... I am sure it won't go anywhere. People need to vote that kind of idiology out of office ASAP!

I am speechless! How can anyone be so stupid. How much of her salary is she handing out to lead to a more equitable distribution of wealth????

Holy Horse Hockey! She's taking a page right out of the British logic for disarming their citizens. OK, so if a woman is being raped she should not resist but just relax and enjoy it? How do these sociopaths get elected? and in Texas of all places!! Bet it doesn't go far.

I certainly hope it doesn't. I can't get a visual of myself running out the back door while the needy ransack my home.

[Jack Klarich]

This is insane, but it is also the new far left Dems new America last plan

Nuff said, hide your guns and ammo, stay armed and defend your family and homes and businesses

You guys don't understand. People who break into other peoples houses have a lot of problems. I think every homeowner has the

right, actually an obligation to help solve the criminal's problems right there on the spot and as quickly as possible. It's your civic duty don't you know.

So now, in addition to working, homeowner's need to take classes on how to deal with messed up people?

What Looney Tunes has she been watching ??? Send some crooks to her house & see what she does.

[Z06tacoma]

We can start at her home. Pick up a few things the taxpayer paid for. Call it emancipation, retribution, reallocation, whatever

Castle doctrine.

[rustic bob]

[rhino 2]

[Sidecarbill]

Memory may fail me on this one. But I believe years ago Jersey had a similar law. You were to try to avoid confrontation. When you we cornered or hidin in the closet and found then you could use deadly force. I think it was because Hoffas buddies were shootin people and pullin them back in the house and claiming self defense.
