    With this behavior from that guy, maybe there’s a reason his apartment is getting egged!

    The safety of our children is non-negotiable

    As long as the 2nd amendment stands, nobody has a right to safety in USA. The 2nd amendment simply doesn’t allow such a right.
    So yes the safety is non negotiable, because you can’t negotiate safety when the default is that everybody is allowed to own and carry deadly weapons.

    A Florida man ran down and pinned an 11-year-old girl he suspected of egging his home in a “reprehensible” confrontation that was caught on video, authorities said Monday.

    In Texas, it’s legal to shoot someone egging your house, as long as they’re doing it at night and you have a reasonable belief that you can’t otherwise safely stop them. Egging a house is criminal mischief.

    https://codes.findlaw.com/tx/penal-code/penal-sect-9-42/

    Texas Penal Code - PENAL § 9.42. Deadly Force to Protect Property

    Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by FindLaw Staff

    A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property:

    (1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.41; and

    (2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:

    (A) to prevent the other’s imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime; or

    (B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the property; and

    (3) he reasonably believes that:

    (A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by any other means; or

    (B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.

    EDIT: Also, where are all these people in Florida getting affordable eggs to egg with?

      AND the land cannot be protected by any other means or is considered a substantial risk of serious bodily injury to the person shooting them.

      Firmly believe every judge would rule an 11 year old with eggs does not fulfill those requirements and therefore would likely be charged with manslaughter of some sort.

      Now… If they set foot inside their house, that might be a different story. Eggs I don’t think would be considered breaking into a house/vehicle/property

        I think you are only considering a WHITE 11 year old. And I think you are dead wrong.

        Can’t tell at night. Could be a short MS-13 member with a gun who’s egging the house. Even if you see they’re an 11 year old girl, she could also be a MS-13 super soldier.

    Serious question, what are you meant to do when kids vandalize your shit, cops don’t care and you don’t know the parents?

    EDIT : Not defending the guy, just poor social skills to begin with.

      I had a kid who lives a block over egg my house a few years ago on Halloween. A few weeks later I saw him riding his bike and stopped him and just asked him not to do it again because it was a pain to clean properly. He apologized, thanked me for not yelling at him and then laughed when he saw my house that hasn’t been power washed in years with just a few clean spots where his eggs hit.

      Now he comes over every week and plays soccer with me and my toddler and helps us with yard work in the summer.

      A little bit of human decency and talking to a kid like they’re a person can go along way. Kids aren’t stupid, they just don’t know a lot of things.

        Also: this dude is defending his apartment complex? He doesn’t even own this shit, most likely isn’t responsible for cleaning it, either.

        So why the fuck does he think he needs to be involved and to solve this through physical violence?

          Significant money placed on stupidity combined with a corporal punishment upbringing. What are the odds he’s also a Republican?

      This is actually a great question.

      But I don’t have the answer as police in my area would try and fix it.

      Just clean it off. Kids are kids. If they’re doing it to your house on a frequent basis, there’s a reason for it. If it’s just once, it’s harmless fun

      Personally, I would try to get a clear photo of their face and then I would use social media to hopefully find their parents. They would have to be egging my house a few times a week though tbh, it’s a lot more work then just power washing it away.

      it’s not like physically attacking a child will neccessarily guarantee an end to your problems anyway. Like with everything: it kinda just depends

    One thing’s for sure. If that girl was the one egging his place, she’s gonna think twice now.
