Edit: Politifact says this is fake: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/dec/10/facebook-posts/comments-about-texas-castle-doctrine-law-were-sati/

However, the article is utter garbage. First it says it's deboonked because facebook says it's deboonked because politifact told them it's deboonked. Then it finally identifies the supposed source as a site "GOP Briefing Room", but doesn't link to it, and the only relevant link is the author's linkedin profile where he says he's a satirist. I'm leaning towards it being actual satire, because while this is literally how leftists think, it would be too good if this creature actually said it out loud, but Politifact is still shit.

God I hate journalists so much.

Good for Texas, but check this out:

“I’m not saying that stealing is okay,” Meza said. “All I’m saying is that it doesn’t warrant a death penalty. Thieves only carry weapons for self-protection and to provide the householder an incentive to cooperate. They just want to get their loot and get away. When the resident tries to resist is when people get hurt. If only one side is armed fewer people will be killed.”

“In most instances the thief needs the money more than the homeowner does,” Meza continued in a statement. “The homeowner’s insurance we reimburse his losses. On balance, the transfer of property is likely to lead to a more equitable distribution of wealth. If my bill can help make this transfer a peaceful one so much the better.”
