A jury in Bexar County, Texas just acquitted Ezekiel Gilbert of
charges that he murdered a 23-year-old Craigslist escort—agreeing that
because he was attempting to retrieve the $150 he'd paid to Frago, who
wouldn't have sex with him, his actions were justified.

So, what's the problem?

Remember this?

Homeowner detains intruder, KKTV, Colorado Springs, Colo. 05/23/13

Posted on May 30, 2013

Jeremy Strong was at home with his wife and son when his wife alerted him
to someone attempting to
break into their house. Strong retrieved a gun, went to investigate, and
discovered a man who had
broken through one of the home’s windows. Strong aimed his firearm at the
intruder, ordered him to
the ground and held him at gunpoint until police could arrive.

Police later determined that the man was likely high on methamphetamines
at the time of the
disturbance. A charitable man, despite the damage, Strong has not pressed
charges against the
criminal, explaining that the man needs help. (KKTV, Colorado Springs,
Colo. 05/23/13)

Thank goodness for guns!

An excellent example of a man who can handle his gun and has a heart.
To be applauded. I expect he's not a rarity but certainly rare when
compared to the number of idiots who have little common sense and
hearts to match.


He is representative of the vast majority of gun owners, as opposed to the
rare exceptions with
which you attempt to troll.

Rare exceptions? Oh golly, each year 15,000 victims of guns and
17,000 suicide victims and their families might beg to differ with
you.
