Are insurance companies offering benefits for killing the perps now?

Texas Law

Sec. 9.42. DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT PROPERTY. A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property:
(1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.41; and
(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:
(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime; or
(B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the property; and
(3) he reasonably believes that:
(A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by any other means; or
(B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.

It sounds like the toilet paper prank went well. It was the shooting prank that had the problem.

Here's a slightly more detailed article about it:

He actually fired at the car as they were fleeing, so I'm guessing by that time he knew what they had done. Hard to say for sure though. And no question he over-reacted. I'm not justifying what he did, I am simply taking exception to this crazy notion that calling the cops would do anything to help the guy in this situation. They're not going to launch a full scale investigation over a property damage incident.

Terrorist act?

I'd laugh my ass off if this was your daughter and he got probation. LMAO

He shouldn't need to call the cops, just his insurance company.

Also, anyone here saying that getting eggs thrown at you justified shooting to kill, you are girly little bitches. Grow a sack.

Killing someone didn't fix his car either

Shootem in the house and its ok? Not gonna read all the BS in the thread but thats what it sounds like. Stupid kids with no discipline. People get hurt when we fail our kids and raise them with no guideposts of right and wrong.

Are you ****ing reeruned? FOR THE FIFTH ****ING TIME, I AM NOT JUSTIFYING WHAT HE ****ING DID!

Hopefully the ALL CAPS and bold will stand out this time.

But I guarangoddamntee one thing, the kids who didn't get shot are probably going think twice before they **** with someone's shit again.

Poor bugs. So powerless to those meanie teens

Moral of the story: don't **** with someone unless you are absolutely sure they aren't a complete maniac, strangers included.

No, but the blood splatter covered up the egg.

Its one hell of an insurance policy that it won't happen again.

THe prosecuting attorney's office must not pay enough. All the money must be on the defense's side. They keep winning, or least the death penality is knocked out of the picture.
