gods town


10/30/11

I live close to Gods town “The Buckle of the Bible Belt” Abilene Texas.
We recently had a road rage killing in Abilene in February of 2011 they just completed the trial . The man who shot and killed the other man was given 70 years for murder. So in Texas there use to be lines when you pulled a gun and someone shot you that was self defense! Larry McMurty explained this in his book “Lonesome Dove” and the movie made from it. When Captain Call and August McCray hung Jake Spoon Gus said you crossed the line you ride with a outlaw you die with a outlaw. A judge in Abilene Texas and 12 people did away with those lines. See Christopher North had a gun drawn on him ad was told to get back in his truck. He backed his truck up to push the other guy on the median and stepped out and shot him in the head dead.
Had Gus or Call done the same and they would from the chariters written for them, they would be serving 70 years. Now in the city limits of Abilene if someone breaks into your house crossing a line of long ago and he is armed then you shoot him you must wonder will I be guilty of murder too. So if I am loading your horse in my trailer out of your pasture in the city limits of Abilene Texas am I a thief as of old or should you have had better fences. You see 12 people and one judge by his decisions to keep things from the Jury just rewrote the basic laws of Abilene Texas. They also crossed the Leviticus laws of God Too.
