Shooting immigrants in the back is ok in TX
Written by Rich Vázquez
Joe Horn called 911because burglars were breaking in to a neighbors home in Pasadena, TX. He was warned 14 times not to go outside for his own safety, to which he responded once with "You want to bet. I'm going to kill them." Later, just before he goes outside, he says, "Heat the shotgun click, here I go." He then goes outside and shoots the burglars in the back.The grand jury decided not to indict him on any charges.
The two men were Black Colombians who were undocumented immigrants.
This is the 911 call.
At one point he attempts to fall back on "in this post 911 world" when he says, "The laws were changed after September 1st." I guess some of us are forgetting.
There are similar cases in the southwest and other parts of the country. In 2000, I wrote about a man who received less time for killing a Mexican than someone else did for killing a Mexican wolf.
The irony in discussions about this are the same people who generally claim "culture of life" and yell the loudest about American Values are so ready to throw habeus corpus, right to trial and immigrant life out the window.
