Some years back a couple of young thugs broke into a woman's Dallas home around 2 a.m. The old lady -- in her 90s -- was wheelchair bound and the punks had bragged that they were going to steal a bundle of money from her.

Wrong. As they broke down the door to her "library" (she couldn't sleep and was reading) she pulled out an old Colt .45 revolver and shot both of them, one dead and the other badly wounded.

Seems like she grew up on a ranch during rough times in Texas....

I have a hard time sympathizing with violent punks regardless of race, religion, country of origin, or sexual orientation.
