Update on that strange Texas murder case
Well, this story certainly has a few extra details…
Police have said that, in the early morning hours of Dec. 11, Darrell Roberson called his Arlington home trying to reach his wife more than a dozen times before his 7-year-old daughter finally answered.
A short time later, Darrell Roberson, who had been playing cards in Dallas, headed to his home in the 6100 block of Ivy Glen Drive, police have said.
When he arrived, Roberson saw his wife, clad in a robe and underwear, with a man in a Chevrolet Silverado pickup, police have said. After Tracy Roberson claimed that the man was trying to rape her, her husband fired four shots at the vehicle as the man tried to drive away with his wife, police have said.
Well, that paints things quite differently. The way we now understand it, Darrell Roberson was trying to call home all night, and no one answered. When he finally got his daughter, he got nervous and drove home, where he came upon his wife - mostly naked - and a guy she claimed was raping her. He grabbed the gun he had with him and only shot at the truck when it seemed like Devin LaSalle was kidnapping his wife!
Hmm.
Turns out the lying whore also told the cops that she was being raped. Yay, extra criminal charges! Tracy Roberson should do a lot of time over this.
At first I was a little weirded out by this story but the more details that come out, the more I totally understand the moral and legal choices that were made here. This guy firmly believed his wife’s rapist was trying to kidnap her. If I was absolutely sure of my shooting skills I might take a shot at the bastard too. I’m too damn rusty these days to think about making a shot like that now, but if I was practicing and carrying like I used to? Yeah, I can see it.
Hat tip: Ace.

Texas is a “shall issue” state. If you meet their (fairly easy) requirements, they cannot keep you from getting a CCW license.
Unlike here in California, where you either have to be a cop or a celebrity to qualify. There are more than a million people in this county, and less than a thousand CCW licenses.

The wife should definately pay on this. Her lovers blood is squarely on her hands.
I can’t imagine what the husband felt when he came upon that scene. I don’t own a gun and have fired a round or two like once in my life..maybe twice but if I were in his shoes, I would have fired as well.
Us women are pure evil at times.
