Shooting someone for a justifiable reason is one thing, what these people did (Fire randomly into a group of men, women and children who posed no threat and were not tresspassing) is criminal.
Which board? ARFCOM? If so you are dead right. These morons would be castigated to the nth degree...

Totally agree, these people who shot the kid are inbred ****tards

Shooting people for trespassing is never OK, no matter what stupid signs you have up.

Both of these people need to fry.

And, in TX, they just might.

Which kind of pisses all over the whole Californian, "Let's mock Texas", meme that this thread started with.

Sorry I wandered off the australia boards to see this, those are the two most feral looking critters I ever saw.

I reckon the entire American gun issue could be halved if you had to at least graduate from high school before being given a Gun permit.

These two look like they could not pass wind....

I'm laying bets that they started shooting because those people got too close to their meth lab.
yeah, they do look like such a NICE couple!!

Whereas I'm in two minds about it, at least where the state is concerned. (Needless to say, I'm fully in favour of Castle laws, "Make my day" laws etc.)
