And, we will be seeing more of it - particularly in areas that have progressive DAs who are soft on crime.  When citizens don't trust that the law will be enforced, they take matters into their own hands.  [/quote]

So “taking the law into your own hands” means killing someone without giving them the benefit of due process?

Also, if the car had an air tag, it would have been easy for cops to track it without the need for the car owner to do it himself.[/quote]

I'm not saying it is right.... I am telling you what to expect when citizens sense that law is not being enforced. 
We really need more information.  According to one article, the man thought the suspect had a gun.  We will have to see if more info is forthcoming.  [/quote]

It doesn't really matter in Texas. Deadly force is justified to prevent robbery [/quote]
Not sure this was a robbery. If the thief was in the act of stealing the car from him at that moment, most people would say the shooting was justified. I don’t think this situation is the same.[/quote]

Once the owner was there, if the guy does exit the car, it's a robbery. They've already announced that no charges are expected [/quote]
