General News Man Acquitted Of Murdering Escort Who Wouldn't Have Sex

WTF, Texas? :eusa_doh:

Is prostitution even legal in Texas? I doubt it. How could he claim his "property" was stolen by paying her for sex, when that's not even legal?

And regardless you don't have the right to shoot and kill someone who is not posing a threat to you, except apparently in Texas (and Florida).

 

.... That.. is fucking ridiculous!! Oh my gosh Texas... its legal to use deadly force in night time "theft"?!... what a way around the law.

 

No, the only place prostitution is legal in the US is parts of Nevada. Strictly speaking an escort is someone you hire to go on a date or hang out with you for a period of time, sex is not included or guarantied. While most escorts are actually prostitutes, not all of them are. Some are conducting completely legal (sex free) business. This ruling is mind bogglingly fucked up and wrong.

 

That is fucking ridiculous. If lethal force can every be justified, its when your own life is threatened. Getting into a car and leaving can hardly be described as threatening behaviour.

The law is ridiculous anyway, but the way it is being applied is inexcusable and illogical. Surely they must have, I dunno, provisions to make sure the law isn't being misused. I mean, could it be used to justify murdering the people hacking your bank account, assuming the hacking occurred at night? Or to justify murdering politicians because you filled out your tax return at night and decided the taxes were too high? Both ridiculous examples, but if you can use the law to justify shooting a woman trying to leave, what else can it justify?
