Preparedness for a home invasion

Since this is Texas, everybody here knows everybody has a gun (stereotype). So anybody doing crime knows they can get shot. They do it anyway.

There is no evidence the death penalty deteres crimes, so this ain't really that surprising.

I don't disagree. The death penalty reduces headcount of criminals. It's that simple. A company terminates its bad employees. Texas terminates its bad citizens.

Obviously, it's not perfect. If you're goal is to prove TX sucks, I'm not in its fanclub nor am I its spokesperson. I simply live here and get what the law is trying to do.

So Texas law promotes vigilantism?

Cowboyism - it's Constitutional

The death penalty deters one specific criminal form adding to his or her rap sheet. Beyond that...

Texas is kidding itself about how fairly it adjudicates death penalty cases, though.

Eugenics in action.

Of course, bad is relative.

I prefer dead crooks on scene by direct witnesses to executing prisoners. Texas sucks at getting the innocent/guilty part right after the fact.

I prefere people to be alive.
