"Hopefully, I mean if he's stupid enough to come back around, we can git him."
I couldn't help but notice that not a word was said about the shooting being justified or not. That's Texas justice for you, the offender was so despicable in what he did, that no one even considered if the woman's actions were correct. The cop did indirectly address this, I suppose, when he said she was afraid. I wonder about that. I thought she might have been outraged that "he's back," or angered at his audacity.
Do you think the fact that he was not wounded is because she fired only a warning shot or was she a poor marksman (markswoman)? If she fired a warning shot while outraged or frightened or angered at his audacity, I say that's wrong. If she shot at him and missed him while either frightened or angered, I say that's wrong.
As sick a bastard as this guy is, the criterion for getting shot at should be much higher.
What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.
Considering she fired the shot into the ground, I don't think she was trying to kill him. Just give him a reason to run.

ReplyDeleteLike actually getting raped?

ReplyDeleteRapists belong in one of two places. Jail or the ground. He should be happy he's still alive.
Also, in this case the warning shot accomplished two things. It scared the man away, and alerted the neighbor.
ReplyDeleteNice clean DGU.

How unlike the home life of our own dear Queen...
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure is peeping toms and people who expose themselves generally go on to commit rape. But in this case I suspect there was more outrage than fear and that would make the "nice clean DGU" as TS called it nothing of the sort.

ReplyDeleteWe don’t know in this case if rape was his intention. Why? Because she had a gun.
