    IN Texas, during hours of DARKNESS, you can lethal force against any person messing with your property.

    From those days of the Old West when some villain would sneak up on you as you slept out on the range and steal your horse. The same as murdering you as you were in such a remote place.

    What applies then applies now.

    Believe it or not, property rights are a human right.

    Now that truly is a robbery gone wrong. I wish the media would reopen it that way.
