What did it say? He's deleted it now.

Or did our social media overlords delete it for him...

It was this tweet and another underneath it where they were making fun of him telling him to remove HouseIntel from his profile, I'm betting twitter made them remove that one

More detail on this-



She's trying to neuter Texas castle doctrine

Apparently, this is fake.

Bill to Outlaw "Castle Doctrine" [semi-satire]

But she did introduce a bill to modify castle doctrine in texas, and it's bad enough as is.

 

[NoDak]

I saw that earlier today. I was hoping it was just a bullshit story.

Guess not.

 

[yimyammer]

I was not able to find any source or video that matched the quotes in your post which I would think if she really said these things publicly, we would be watching video not reading hearsay on Twitter & Facebook (I find another post quoting the exact same thing and the source was a Facebook post). What I did find a few tweets from her on the issue:


We still may not agree with her stance but if we can take her tweet as an accurate representation of her views, then its not nearly as crazy as the Twitter/Facebook post made her sound. Other folks are drawing similar conclusions:


Please correct me if I'm wrong but If I've Googled correctly this is HB196 (I haven't had time to read yet but perhaps we can attack the actual bill vs whatever she may or may not have said):

Luckily it has zero chance of passing. This does raise the case of how important it is to vote in local elections

 

[NoDak]

Wait, so it would require a homeowner to retreat first?

Yeah... Fuck that. I'm not about to let someone else decide if I "retreated" well enough before protecting myself, my family, and my property.

Boom, motherfucker. Guess you should have tried to rob somebody else.

No requiring a homeowner to retreat at all is still insane

 

[NoDak]

And this also begs the question... How is a homeowner supposed to know if an intruder is only there to rob them? What if they have more sinister intentions, like rape and/or murder?

Am I supposed to just take the chance that this dude breaking into my property is only there to steal something?

And, it gives home invaders the message that it's now safer for them to do it. Brilliant.

 

[jsmith6919]

I will def shoot anyone who gets inside my house unauthorized. I will also shoot anyone outside stealing my shit which this is attempting to outlaw. Bottom line is I have a security cam system, if I see someone breaking in any of our vehicles I have to assume they value their life as less than my earned possessions and will accommodate them accordingly. They made that decision not me

I agree, if I saw someone walking around my yard, I wouldn't come out firing but I'd have my gun ready and the police would be called.

If someone breaks into my house, all bets are off since I'm not being left with many choices and that isn't my fault (or anyone else who finds themselves in the same shoes)

Nope, you should have the freedom to make that decision for yourself without fear of prosecution for defending yourself or your family inside your home

Yes seeing someone outside scoping out my place I'll confront and if they submit I'll just hold them until the police get here, if they resist I'll shoot

 

[Cotton]

Yeah, even the really story/bill is horseshit. I will echo what many here have already said. You come onto my property, you are doing so at your own damn risk. You best know what that risk is before doing so. I will not hesitate.

 

[Smitty]

Wow, someone actually advocating thieves being armed and victims not being armed to make it easier for the criminals to win. All so that those poor criminals don't get shot while breaking the law.

I always wonder when a politician does something like this who the hell are they trying to speak to? Criminals? Families of criminals? We all want our son to be safe if he chooses to burglarize homes?

Her best argument for this bullshit would I guess be if someone inadvertently entered the wrong home and was shot it would be a real tragedy. But that's not even the example she is going with. I guess maybe she is trying to pander to the ANTIFA crowd to basically say, vote for me, I'll let you destroy, loot and pillage without any risk of harm to yourselves.

we lose about 20-30 kids a year in my neighborhood where they get shot while stealing lawn ornaments so she might be on to something
