That's fine. Now, if he's so good to have around, why did he have to call
the police 42 times and *still* have to shoot and kill two criminals who

there?


Two fewer thieves in the world because of him, obviously. Works for me.



And that's all you're going to get out of it, Doug, a little thrill. Because
killing two burglars in a city that had 21,653 of them last year tells us
that all that will happen is that some gun-totin' folks who live in
fantasyland will get their rocks off when they watch the evening news.

Despite all the loaded guns in Dallas homes and businesses (and the number,
from a study done in 1988 - 1992 is pretty remarkable; one assumes not much
has changed in that regard), Dallas's burglary rate is six times higher than
that of New York City.

There's an inconvenient truth for ya', huh?
