You know nothing of Texas Law then!

I need to find the case number from a few years back, where some dipstick (polite term) decided he wanted to verbally assault me on the step of my truck!

First warning was calm and collected!

Second warning resulted in letting my healer out of the sleeper!

Third warning, wait, two was enough! The door was quickly forced open, the dipstick landed upside down on his head, and my sweat little healer took a nice chunk of flesh out of his leg, before the police showed up! She wanted his throat, but I though that would be too much!

The dipstick was arrested for assault, trespassing, possession of narcotics, and threatening a police officer! Resulted in an official deposition by myself and three other witnesses, that had also had issue with the guy! Last I heard, he was sentenced to a total of 10 years in a New Mexico state prison, and there was consideration of extradicting him to Pennsylvania to face Federal Charges! Feburary 15th, 2005 - Albuquerque, NM

Hmm, have heard of one similar, but do not remember it being in Pasadena! Do you have a time frame on the event you are inquiring!

We are in a rural area East of San Antonio, so unless it is really news worthy, with the exception of trucking stuff, I do not pay much attention to the Houston area!

Ok, that is the one I was thinking about! Cannot find anything recent! The last thing I could find about charges is none had been filed, they were awaiting a grand jury to convene! That can take months, sometimes years!

Looks to me, the big reason that it stayed in the news as long as it did, was the two were illegals! Will shoot a message to a friend in Houston that keeps up with cases like that!

The New Castle Law has some confused about situations like that! Legally, in my opinion, he went too far! Personally, I would have done the same thing, except the 911 call would have come afterwards, not during!:twisted:

:twisted:

Actually, a big part of why it was in the news was that he shot them in the back, if I remember correctly. Also, they released the 911 tape of him calling in, being instructed by the 911 operator to stay in the house, being told that the police were on their way and rapidly nearing, repeatedly saying that he was going to shoot them, and then putting down the phone and (and you could hear this) going outside and shooting them.


It sounded at times like he was really looking for a reason to shoot somebody.

nope hardly offended. actually I'm secure enough in my man hood that someone being gay really doesn't bother me. you on the other hand should look at what your really afraid of? i'm still calling BS on you even doing it.

my point is simply you just cant do what you did legally. If you continue to do it and keep an ignorant attitude toward it you will end up in trouble.


"basic elements of any justifiable use of force in self-defense must be met. simply you must prove that you had no choice!

Ability
Your attacker must have the ability—the physical, practical ability—to cause you harm

Opportunity
while your attacker may very well have the ability to cause you harm, it means nothing unless he also has the opportunity to do so—right here and right now

Jeopardy
The most subjective factor of the AOJP analysis is the jeopardy requirement, sometimes called “imminent jeopardy.” This criterion requires that, in your specific situation, a “reasonable and prudent” person would have believed himself to be in immediate danger

Preclusion
It is the idea that, whatever the situation, you are expected to use force only as a last resort—that is, only when the circumstances preclude all other options.Preclusion is the factor that is missing in most self-defense arguments, and thus the reason most fail. You must remember that you bear the burden of proof; until you prove otherwise, the law merely sees two equal citizens in a dispute. You can say, “He tried to hit me,” but then the police and the courts will ask, “Why didn’t you _____?” You must have no options to offer to fill in that blank—there must have been no other courses of action you could have taken to maintain your safety except the use of force. Otherwise, you’re just fighting because you want to, and that’s a crime."

In the eyes of the law, life has priority over possessions—even a criminal’s life. You may defend your own safety with the use of force, but not your stuff

I believe if we as a civilized society,can survive the ignorance,fear,and misrepresentation of reallity exampled within the pages of this forum,by a minority mind you,the upcoming proverbial apocolypes should be a cakewalk

:roll: C'mon guys! Wherever I go, if I run into another trucker I will ask how he/she is doing. Mostly I'm walking somewhere and I will say it as I'm walking and I'm not stopping, but isn't this all just common sense?
If I see someone I have my doubts about I stay clear away from him but most people out there are not out to hurt you, or rape you or whatever. I just have a rule not to go out to rest areas at night time (even if there was parking :lol: ), not going to bathroom in truck stop without husband etc. I guess the same goes with the gays. We were in Winslow at the Wal-Mart one time, I was right next to my husband and 1 came up and asked HIM if he wanted a party *yeah hello I'm invisible...* :lol: :roll: He just said no thanks and the person moved on. No need to make a drama when there is none.
So all I want to say to whoever started this thread: don't believe all the big stories you hear!

Go Google "gay trucker" and tell us what you find.

:lol: Now why would I go looking for drama??

Re: > The timing of this . .

Aye Rev.Vassago ......I'm a sexay bastard

OK I googled "Gay Trucker". The first link that came up must have been for a lumping service. The caption said" Where gay truckers come to unload" They need to spell check though. Come was spelled wrong.

LMAOROFL!! :lol:

Jumbo, Now that was Hilarious. :lol: :lol:

And for anyone that needs to know just turn on the Gaydar detector.

And it's accurate

Well..... even GAY guys have STANDARDS, Rev!! :shock: :roll:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Oops!! :oops: :oops:

I see Fredog beat me to the punch! :lol: That's what I get for responding before I've read all the pages! :oops:

Had a guy get out of a car and follow me into the restroom at an OK reststop one night. Since I didn't know whether or not he'd just pulled in.... I wasn't really expecting anything. Then he suggested I read what he'd written on the top of the urinal! When I told him I wasn't interested, he pulled a rubber out of his pocket and said.... "SAFE!" with a wink! Like THAT was gonna make the difference for me! :shock: :lol:

It was hard enough when all I had to worry about was being God's gift to WOMEN! :lol: :lol:

I've heard no less than 3 cases within the last month or so of a person dying after being 'tased' by a cop! I sure wouldn't want to deal with the court cases and/or lawsuits resulting from such an outcome of 'tasing' a guy for standing on my running board! :roll:

Especially, when pushing a button would have rolled up my window and given him the impression I wasn't interested! Getting out of the seat and going into the sleeper and/or pulling the windshield curtains might help as well!

"Ride the Lightning??" :shock: :roll: You're KIDDING me.... right? If the cops heard you say THAT, you'd be the one being investigated! Why don't you just go ahead an carry an Uzi?? You KNOW you're just DYING to kill someone, aren't you? :roll:

PARANOIA!!!


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:




It was a decent album put out by Deep Purple.

kinda makes you wonder if that line has worked for him in the past :shock: wonder what would happen if I walked into the ladies room and used that one :lol:

O God! We still lacked these kind of problems.

Say no thanks
 

When I was in college there was a large truck stop close where I would go to eat late after studying. I have several truckers request sex from me. A simple no thanks usually worked and a hell yes also worked. You can’t get what you can’t get up what’s the big deal
