Just Like The Movies
July 30, 2008 / 9:08 pm • By Dr. Melissa ClouthierI don’t know what the details are about this story, but I read it and thought, dang! Don’t mess in Texas:
A man holding a woman hostage in a north Harris County trailer was fatally shot by Harris County sheriff’s deputies Wednesday evening.
Deputies were called to the 1400 block of Aldine Mail Route about 5:45 p.m. and found the man holding the woman at gunpoint, said Harris County sheriff’s Lt. John Denholm. The man was shot after pointing the weapon at deputies, he said.
The woman was not injured and the incident remains under investigation.
Save the taxpayers the trouble of a trial. Glad the police have good aim.

“Save the taxpayers the trouble of a trial.”
With as many rights that the Democrats seem to want to give the terrorists (who fight for no country, and therefore have no standing) captured on foreign battlefields the rights of American citizens, maybe we should stop capturing people and take care of the situation right there.

As a Houstonian I was very disappointed that the Deputies waited until he pointed the gun at an officer instead of shooting him because he was pointing the gun at a woman.
What ever happened to serve and PROTECT. Was it suddenly serious when an officer was the target, not the expendable civilian.
