"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"

Sixguns Blazing

by Lee

If this were in England, both these people would be dead.

Police say a man found shot to death in south Houston early today is believed to a would-be robber who exchanged gunfire with a homeowner’s son a couple hours earlier.

A woman who lives on Darlinghurst near Fleetwell told police she saw four armed, masked men breaking into a nearby vacant home about 11 p.m. Monday, and called her son to come to her house.

When he arrived, police said he retrieved a gun from his mother’s house and the two went outside to check on the suspected burglars but suddenly found themselves confronted by the group.

Police said the woman was grabbed by one of the armed men and held briefly. When she struggled free, her son exchanged gunfire with the men as they ran away, police said.

Better to be alive than dead and morally superior.  Seriously, how stupid do you have to be to try to rob a house… in Texas?
