Make My Day

I usually like Fox News in the morning. They aren’t “fair and balanced” except in comparison to the rest of the mainstream media, but it is usually something that doesn’t gag me over my Cheerios. But, there was milk and bananas splashed on the counter this morning when they brought in a lib-lawyer and a talking head to debate the grand jury’s no-bill of Pasadena TX resident Joe Horn.

The outcry when the events took place was pretty much standard fare in politically correct country. Joe was an older, portly, white guy. The other side was a pair of dark-skinned individuals, much younger and in decidedly more muscular condition. Joe shot them both. With a shotgun. At night. Outside his home. On his front lawn. While on the phone with the local police department’s 9-1-1 dispatcher. He told the dispatcher what he was doing, as he was doing it.

The grand jury concluded after hearing testimony from both sides that Joe acted within the law. The usual suspects asserted racist motivation and a violation of the victim’s civil rights. Here’s what Fox News had on the story:

Sympathy for the Devil

The talking heads on the viddie this morning were livid. Check out the inflammatory comments from the liberal law guru. These poor immigrants who probably just came to this country to make a better life for themselves, etc. etc.

Ahh, but here’s a little more background on the perps. They are seen breaking into the neighbor’s home. That’s when Joe calls the police. They are seen and Joe tells the dispatcher that they are coming back out through the window with his neighbor’s property. Joe is still online with the cops, but no sirens arriving on scene. Just Joe and a couple of illegal immigrants making a living. It might be that Joe is next stop on their shopping list.

Both are illegals. Both have outstanding warrants. One had been arrested and convicted for cocaine trafficking. Then, in those mean old days when we still had immigration laws, he was deported back to Columbia. The lure of opportunity in America was apparently too great for him.

Protect the Innocent--Shoot the Guilty

And the whining on Fox suggests that Joe should have simply waited in his house to be the next victim or ignored defense of his neighbor’s property and it all could have been avoided. How about if the goblins had stayed in their native land? How about if they had gotten a job rather than breaking into homes? How about if they had abided by laws rather than exploiting American society? They could have avoided Joe with just a little bit of ethical behavior.

Poor Joe. Good decision from the grand jury. Lesson learned, hopefully, by the goblins.

In late breaking news we get more details on the shootings that Fox News probably won't follow up on:

More Details

Now the “fiancée” of one of the thugs is ranting about a civil suit. Her baby’s civil rights to breaking & entering, burglary and drug trafficking got violated. And professional minority, Quanell X is demanding a new grand jury and details on the racial composition of the no-bill panel.
