Rice...did you even read the article or did you just troll the comments? Texas just passed a bill that says you can shoot to kill anyone on your property who is committing or attempting to commit any bodily harm/rape/kidnapping yourself or anyone in your family.
Mark Osler, a Baylor University law school professor and a former federal prosecutor, said the grand jurors evidently put themselves in the husband's place: 'I can see one of them saying, 'I would have shot the guy, too. I was just protecting my wife.' '
If somebody was raping your wife.... and we're assuming you're not a 12 year old... you can honestly say that you wouldn't do everything possible to protect her and punish him?
What better solution do you have? Stand in the driveway looking upset while some kid kicks sand in your face?
In conclusion, please actually read the article, and don't be an idiot 12 year old.
