The Constitution guarantees us all the right to be secure in our life and property. The goal of the law is to protect innocent people, not perps. If someone is raping my daughter, I'm not waiting for the cops to get there and if the guy dies just because I hacked him several hundred times with a machete, well, that's just too bad.
I wouldn't be surprised in the least if the victim's family sues for wrongful death, and if it makes it to the Supreme Court guess who will be visiting Federal prison.
nah, that ain't gonna fly in Texas, no matter what any court outside our border thinks. You rape a 5-year old here, you better hope her daddy or big brother ain't around....
