The Texas law that allows people to use deadly force to recover property during a nighttime theft was put in place for “law-abiding” citizens, prosecutors Matt Lovell and Jessica Schulze countered.

I can understand bringing up charges against someone for not providing a service, but killing them? That's pretty...Texas.

As someone who lives in Orlando and is subscribed to /r/FloridaMan.. Can confirm.

I love the culture of Texas (hunting, fishing, BBQ, etc), But sometimes the politics just get weird. Also, Rick Perry has been in office WAY too long.

So, all I am seeing is that a jury let a murderer go. I guess that means that Florida says it is okay to kill your kid.

Ignore this

'Murika.

OT: I'm somehow not surprised by this.

So about considering for a new Governor...

Hiring an escort doesn't guarantee you'll have sex with him or her. He's an idiot for not asking what would entail in their little engagement, and it's awful that he managed to get away with murder. :/

This shockingly broad statute authorizes individuals to take not just law enforcement, but punishment, into their own hands and impose death for alleged offenses that would never warrant the death penalty even if the person were convicted in court. But even in light of the expansive vigilante justice made legal by the statute, it is difficult to see how Gilbert’s behavior was justified, given that escorts are not entitled to deliver sex under the law, and delivering sex for money is an illegal transaction.

Also, juries represent the whole state, don't they?

Saw this on Jezebel yesterday, proceeded to vomit. So glad I live even farther away from that insanity now.

Laugh at the stupidity, Cry because they got away with it, Sigh because this is just another day in Texas.
Guns solve ALMOST everything.
