Adrian has noticed that the guys who talk the most sh*t about the Army are usually the ones who end up re-enlisting! LOL.

I especially enjoyed reading your description of how you felt that last day. I know my husband is looking forward that that moment, but it's probably years ahead of him at this point!

I would love to read more about the proposal and the wedding and the move to Germany. ]]>http://bigfatdaddy.joeuser.com/article/318299http://bigfatdaddy.joeuser.com/article/318299Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:31:16 -04002008-07-24T01:31:16Texas Wahine on The ProposalDr Guyhttp://bigfatdaddy.joeuser.com/article/318249But to the French people, he was a hero...he made them proud to be French...for a while.

That didn't last long.

Glad they took ya back.  How did you know you were going to Germany?  Couldn't they send you anywhere?  Did you get put back with the same guys?

That's one diff between the Army and the AF..the Army does things in a group, while the AF is all about the individual.  It gets confusing sometimes.

This is also how I feel about it..

Despite what anti-gun types would have people believe, people can and do responsibly own guns every single day. Almost all people who defend the right to own and carry feel that people who are not responsible with them should be prosecuted.


This also played out while I lived in Texas Mason. Texas passed a law saying anyone with a permit can carry a concealed weapon.

According to local news reports in Florida, accidental shootings have dropped slightly as the state requires training prior to receiving a permit to carry.

Despite what anti-gun types would have people believe, people can and do responsibly own guns every single day. Almost all people who defend the right to own and carry feel that people who are not responsible with them should be prosecuted.

Florida law not only allows people to defend themselves, but also has some of the harshest mandatory sentences for gun crimes in the nation.]]>http://bigfatdaddy.joeuser.com/article/317763http://bigfatdaddy.joeuser.com/article/317763Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:31:16 -04002008-07-24T01:31:16MasonM on Here We Go AgainModeratemanhttp://bigfatdaddy.joeuser.com/article/317763 ]]>http://bigfatdaddy.joeuser.com/article/317763http://bigfatdaddy.joeuser.com/article/317763Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:31:16 -04002008-07-24T01:31:16Moderateman on Here We Go Againforeverserenityhttp://bigfatdaddy.joeuser.com/article/317763It also goes with defending your vehicle if someone tries to take it.

Great story.

Too bad things aren't like that today...military men should have a place to be equals, show their stuff.  

Officers I know have an unspoken rule.  Stick together.  Leaders can't be in fighting and be successful...leadership 101.

It is against the law to shoot or kill anyone.  Period.

But there are these little things in the penal code called "Defense to Prosecution."  They are essentially lists of reasons why, even though someone breaks the law, the DA may choose not to prosecute.  For instance one of them is a police officer in the line of duty.

Another is protecting your property or that of your neighbors (in Texas).

Frankly I can't believe it even made it to the grand jury.  If the guy wouldn't have called 911 the DA probably wouldn't have even taken it that far.  But once the actual act became public record...well DA's are funny that way.

I am with you though because I don't think everyone in the state of Tx is racist.

Just to play devils advocate though.  Say everyone in the state of Tx was racist, or lets just say they picked a racist grand jury...12 white people who hate black people simply on color alone....and it turns out the shooter was toying with the thieves, taunting them with the gun.

Would you feel the same then?

Under Texas law right now as its written, the guy could sing Mary Had a Little Lamb while he did it because once they broke into his neighbor's house, then cut through his yard, he was defend-able to prosecution.

Seems to me like the congresswoman may want to get the penal code changed instead of involving the entire country.

But I doubt she will get Texans to agree not to shoot to kill to protect their property, or that of a neighbor.

On the one hand, while I feel that people do have and should have a right to protect themselves and their property, I think this guy may well have stepped beyond this. In the tape I don't hear him ordering them to "stop or I'll shoot" or anything similar. Just "You're dead!" and him firing. The right way to go with this would be to attempt to halt them at gun point and hold them for the police, not to just open fire without any warning at all.

On the other hand, I feel that someone who is committing a crime deserves what they get and I don't feel the least bit sorry for them at all.


During the interview with the Congresswoman (who I REFUSE to name) Fox showed the pictures of two black young men side by side which I stupidly assumed were the "Victims".


Just the MSM mis-informing people again. Nothing new there. The criminals shot down were Miguel Dejesus and Diego Ortiz. Both have criminal records for drug offenses in that county.

Of course she is going to scream racism. That is her only basis of election and her only thought as she is too stupid to even articulate an intelligent statement.
