Not really, but you did get a few posters upset. You failed once you started to justify your actions. This action made you vulnerable. Continue to train, and someday you will succeed.

1) WERE they trespassing?
2) Is it legal in that municipality to use deadly force against tresspassers?

It sure as fuck shouldn't be. Trespassing on someone's land isn't justification enough to kill someone IMO.

Throw the book at these two wastes of human flesh.

WTF!!! If they have criminal records then how would they obtain a gun? :shocked:
 
They should go to jail.
I sort of understand being upset about trespassers , but not to the point of killing someone. He should have just fired in the air.
Where my brother lives it is very rural. It is not uncommon for people to think that because it is rural they can do what they want, often that means using other peoples property for things like off road or ATV. It is annoying to have people using your property for their own personal race track. The other problem he has had is hunters that do not respect the laws that you cannot shoot within range of a home or public area.
During easter we went out and found a guy putting up a deer stand about 100 ft from my brothers back door. We were like WTF ? The hunter just looked at us like, whats wrong?

Here more info on them:

from this article ChattahBox



Clyde Christ, a neighbor of the Muhs, was operating a tractor to grade the roads near the Muhs? house, in 2004, when Gale Muhs took out his shotgun and shot at Christ. Mr. Christ says he filed a complaint with the Sheriff?s department, but nothing was done.

Gale Muhs is known to the police, as well for his two prior drunken driving convictions. Gale Muhs works as a city maintenance worker.

Don't think those two inbreds are representative of the greater population of Texas. Most of us would've actually verified they were trespassing before we shot them.

He ought to do like I did. Tell them once to stay off your property. Then when they do it again, jerk them off their ATV and kick their ass.

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Do you real think trespassing, not theft or vandalism, but some hooligan on your lawn is justification to shoot? Maybe these people represent you more than you think.

Oh I'm sure they're representative of many people in Texas and that's a fine distinction you made there.

So, if the 7 year old was on your property you would have shot him? Man, I'd fucking love to live there...:roll:

You should be ashamed of yourself. A young boy died.
Click to expand...

But, but but... When somebody dies it's a tradition for ATOTers to make the worst joke at the expense of the dead person. EVERY death thread goes like this! I should feel ashamed, but I just want to fit in here 🙁
Click to expand...

Its a little different when a 7 year old kid gets shot in the head while spending the day with his family. 😕
Click to expand...

but there was an obvious pun in what happened, all ATOT cares about is finding the lame pun. I have seen other threads where children died and jokes were made.
Click to expand...

Don't worry, you're in the right here. I don't know why these other two posters aren't familiar with this tradition. Pun on!
Click to expand...

I just did it to see what would happen, I always make a fuss about these threads and the disgusting comments people makes to try and be funny. Apparently the one time I decide to play along, the rest have miraculously stopped being disrespectful when people die

I GIVE UP! 🙁

im all for those awefull puns. but in a situation where a 7 yr old is murdered i think its in bad taste.
Click to expand...

Seriously. This thread needed a pun, like I need a hole in the head.

I have never heard of any US jurisdiction that allows deadly force against trespassers absent some other extenuating circumstance, ie poaching, stealing cattle, breaking and entering, other felonies, national security facility, etc.

I think my sarcasm was too subtle for you, captain anti-suv. Just for the record, the 7-y/o wouldn't have even had to be ON my property for me to have shot him. That's what scopes are for.

I can see it both ways. I'd say that it should not be legal to shoot people who are obviously minors, and verbal warnings should be given. That opens up its own can of worms. Posting signs should be enough, but you can't be sure they've been seen. Unfortunately, it appears that this idiotic couple killed an innocent boy and will probably be the cause of several horrible new laws which take away the rights of property owners to defend their property from actual bad guys.

It's a horrible story from any angle.
