Yes !!!!


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 the 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 will 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."

I thought at the end you would say this is satire. Introduction of this Bill should disqualify her as a state representative. Hell it should disqualify her from the human race.

okie don

The libtards Democrats are going to disarm us all in due time.
That's how communism works.

The lefties on this website, I assume, are aware of what's coming down the pike for us all.
They don't give a hoot about their 2nd amendment freedom.

Is this from the Babylon Bee??? If not, I sincerely hope this woman is robbed so she can help the thief better themselves...after all, it could be her greatest contribution to society.....or her last.

And just think; voters will vote for her.

Couldn’t you make about the same excuse for any crime according to this nut bag. How about rape? The intruder wasn’t getting enough at home. Where’s this end?

The dumbness of AOC is dangerous to the world.

Some break-ins are invasions and the criminals don't want money or stuff, they want to torture and murder you.

So it's best to assume the worst and attack like your life depends on it!

I'm a democrat also, but we'll simply have to have Kevin McCarthy talk to her as he supposedly will speak to Majorie Taylor Greene. The laws regarding home invasions in the state I live in is good enough for me- as they go ,and this is you have the right to protect property and life including using deadly force, but if the intruder
retreats to effect an escape he/she should be allowed to do so, under no circumstance should the intruder be inhibited or deterred from escaping ,his back should be to you ; this connotes that the danger to your life and property has passed and you doing as much as trying to prevent his/her escape excercising deadly is not legal. --But a procedure preventing the perpetrator from escaping is available and can be applied by you , but is not on the books - and that procedure is ,if the assailant is beyond the border parameters of your house you can pull him/her back within the border parameters of your house and proceed to incapacitate him/her by any means you deem necessary to detain him/her. P.S. : do not ,I repeat ,do not inform the law enforcement official as to how you subdued the perpetrator.

This is comic book material, right?

Pass it, don't pass it, we will not comply.

It is unbelievable how stupid and totally ignorant the left (D) can be. Yeah, her and AOC are two of the same. And unfortunately they will keep getting attention and votes and vote against America with every vote. And some Donkey Ditches will keep voting them back into office.

Looks like it. Might as well just ask them to have a seat while you pack up your TV, computer, jewelry, cash, car keys and whatever else strikes their fancy, or else risk going to jail because you were mean to them.

Here is a link to the actual language in the bill for anyone interested in facts rather than hysterics and Henny Penny hand wringing. It simply adds a burden to safely retreat before using deadly force if possible. https://legiscan.com/TX/text/HB196/id/2214951

Boy, where did she come from?
Insurance pays, but there is a deductible, and if you don’t have the correct endorsements to cover jewelry, and valuable items, they only allow so much for the theft of those items, she needs to go crawl under a rock, and stay there! Why should the robber deserve money from the homeowner, most of the time, it is a crackhead, or meth user stealing for drug money, go find a job to support your bad habits, instead of taking from someone who works for a living!
