Texas Justice

Although I didn't confirm the accuracy of the facts in this article, I think you'll find it quite interesting:

Three armed felons crossed the U.S.  border and attempted to rob an off duty El Paso police officer dressed in civilian clothes while he stood in front of a bank. The plan was for two of them to grab his backpack and toss it to an accomplice on a stolen motorcycle. However, the well prepared police officer shot all of them, killing two immediately. The third was shot in both arms and bled to death before the ambulance arrived.

This is how much the U. S . Taxpayer would have had to pay to prosecute these thugs:

• Arrest and detention for 1 night: $6,000
• Transportation for deportation back to Mexico the next day: $1000
• Air time for Obama to apologize in 30 min speech: $25,007,000

What it actually cost:

• Four .40 caliber rounds: $1.00
• Taxpayer savings: $25,013,999.00

They picked the wrong man to rob - Only in Texas!

• The average response time for a 911 call is 4 minutes
• The average response time for a .40 caliber S &W round is about 1225 feet per second

Note: As the police officer was Hispanic, no claims of racism were filed.
