[quote:Trained Noticer:MV80OTA4MDgwXzg5NjU2MTIxX0MxODcwMEE4] [quote:Anonymous Coward 80870072:MV80OTA4MDgwXzg5NjU2MDAxX0YyNzMwODFE] “ being a alleged peeping tom should not result in the death penalty” He didn’t die because he was a “peeping Tom” ! He died because his ACTIONS made her fear for her life! I can always tell the emotional state of a Texas Woman . . . by looking at her hands . . . iffin she is holding a gun it is “done” too LATE! About 1916 my Grandmother was a young bride in a one room “house” late one night in an Arizona mining town near the Mexican border . . .s[b]omeone tried to pry the window [/b] open - My GRANDMOTHER FIRED AT THE CORNER BEING pryed open. . .there was no dead body out side of the “house” when my GRANDFATHER returned from work ! There was one man with an arm in a sling - in town-but lots of people got injured working at that time and place ! Importance: My GRANDMOTHER SURVIVED-she had 6 children survived to adulthood including my Mother that had three children! Do I care that an idiot could have died by a gunshot fired by my GRANDMOTHER! (The Most kind & Loving person I have ever known- & I saw her share what little she had with any race or people that needed help!) I believe I APPRECIATE MY EXISTENCE more than I care about the existence of a criminal that took ACTION TO ENDANGER his life! Same for my 18 Cousins, their CHILDREN & GRANDCHILDREN, and GREAT GRANDCHILDREN! Clear enough? [/quote] Good for her! [b]"..tried to pry the widow"...[/b] Absolutely, BLAST AWAY !! We don't have all the info from the story at hand. If there was "prying", It was a well justified response. IMHO. I think we are in agreement here. :bf23: [/quote]

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."..
