Subject: warning shot
From WTTC News in Dallas, we get this heartwarming tale of long-time criminal, 33 year-old Deyfon Pipkin, who was in the process of climbing in a window of a Texas home......that wasn't his.

(A picture of the thug was here but wouldn't transfer to the forum-I don't know why the hell I can never get them to when I copy .& paste???)
DOA
The elderly homeowner - a former Marine - saw him and fired one shot from his .357 Magnum abruptly ending Deyfon’s criminal career.
As the police do, they came to investigate, gathered the corpse, then went to notify Deyfon's family of his unfortunate early demise. It seems that the family were very upset, because they then showed up at the scene.
"That ol' guy could have fired a warning shot," Lakesha Thompson, Pipkins' sister-in-law, complained. "Then at least Deyfon would've known that there was a gun on the property and the owner might use it in self-defense."
COMMENT FROM THE SIDELINE:
"That's certainly true, Lakesha. The home-owner could also have invited him in and given him a beer then helped him cart the TV out to the curb."
"Unfortunately for Deyfon, Texas is a Castle Doctrine state and the homeowner chose to shoot the intruder as is his right and a proper thing for a homeowner whose home is being broken into to do in Texas."
"For that matter, Lakesha, you could have warned Deyfon yourself. Why didn't YOU tell him: 'Deyfon, yo' needs to quit breakin' into other peoples' houses and stealin' their shit. One o' these days someone is goins to pop a cap in yo' ass.'"
"In light of the steadily increasing cost of ammunition, coupled with the rising scarcity, a warning shot -especially in Texas - is a frivolous and unnecessary expense."
"And, in this case a substantial savings of taxpayer money was a side result: NO investigation expense, NO jail time awaiting trial, NO expense of a trial, and NO prison costs after sentencing!"
