I can't believe I have to tell you this but you can't kill someone over porperty. It's a persons life against an object.

That's a moral stance. That's not what's actually in question here. In Texas, you are allowed to attack someone over your property. That includes, but isn't limited to vehicles. Also, he didn't kill them. The article clearly says that they aren't dead.

You can't be selective with the law. You can't suddenly decide "oh, you can't kill someone over a person's life" when you feel like it. If it's stupid, the law should be removed.

ehhhh cars are more than just "objects," especially in america- you need them to get to work, to make money, which is sadly the only true foundation which your life in this country is built upon, and it's the blood that nourishes it. theft is violence upon people who toil and slave away for their things, just to have it ripped away and be told, "sorry, you're just supposed to let them do it. maybe the cops'll do something. probably not. hope you have insurance!" which is another hefty expense, which gets worse because of shit like this

There's this, but more to the point, the laws in Texas allow for this. The shooter did not break the law by doing this. You can say that the laws are batshit insane over there (and I'd agree), but he shouldn't have the charges stick.
