Does the punishment fit the crime? [/quote] Is it ok if someone just peeps at your mom, wife, daughter, Etc.? No, and what if he decides it’s a touching thing…or worse…. I don’t agree with shooting through the wall….mainly because if you have neighbors and you don’t worry about beyond your target , you’ll accidentally kill your neighbors, their dog or someone else that’s an unintended target. If she did it right, she would have called police….and only shooting if there was a real threat to her life, or he started to enter the home. Then stood her ground in the house with her firearm. [/quote] IF cops didn't have a bad track record of shooting the homeowner who makes the call, I'd tend to agree with you, but even in the best case scenario, their response time is measured in minutes, when you could die in seconds. Maybe he was making a rapey-face at her when she caught him peeping? Or are you going to argue that he was just doing research for his school report? [/quote]
Original Message
A Texas woman fired a rifle through the wall of her home Friday, killing a man who had allegedly been peeping into her window, police said.
"There was an adult female that was in one of the bedrooms who observed him looking into her window. She was in fear. She had a rifle. She shot numerous times through the wall, ending up striking the male. The male ran a little ways and passed out over here. He is dead on the scene," Houston police Lt. R. Willkens told reporters who arrived outside the house Friday night. "We're being told it was a peeping Tom."..
