COULD YOU CONVICT THIS FATHER? David Barajas Murder Trial

[FAHQTOO]

It's just my opinion that there are probably a lot more cases of small town justice (that we never hear about) being handled outside of the courtroom.

Maybe in Texas. Place is full of asshole vigilantes anyway.

I'll take asshole vigilantes over theives and liars in a pinch. If you just blend in with the mob and occasionally yell "Praise Jesus" they think you're one of them and generally leave you alone.

I agree.

Take, for instance a situation that happened in my hometown this week I read about in the paper.

It seems the owner of a small time excavating co had some rather expensive tools come up missing. Instead of calling the police to investigate he decided to take matters into his own hands. He thinks he knows who stole the tools, he talks one of his younger employees into luring an ex employee to one of the jobsites. Together they tackle the guy to the ground, wrap his hands and feet with duct tape, dig a hole with a bobcat, throw him in and bury him up to his neck. They told him they would get him out when he told them where the tool was, after they went and retrieved said tool. They must not have done a very good job because the accused tool thief got himself loose from the duct tape and dug himself out. He ended up at the sheriffs house, of all places, and the punishers we caught when they came back to deal with the guy.

I don't see a damn thing wrong with burying someone up to their neck if you suspect they may have stolen a valuable tool from you. Who needs insurance when you have a bobcat?
