Most Americans know that if you trespass on private property, you are risking life and limb. But leave it to the European press to turn their trespassing crime into a "gun incident".
Danish journalist Terkel Svensson was assigned to cover Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen's trip to Crawford, Texas. As he blabbed away on his cell phone, he wandered onto private property and scared the bejesus out of an old woman.
"I was just so occupied dictating my story that I didn't really see where I went," Svensson told me later. "I was just walking and talking."You were on a safe trip, until you broke the law by invading someone else's property.What Svensson didn't realize was that he had stopped walking a couple hundred feet away, on the front lawn of an elderly woman. An elderly woman who looked through her window and didn't like that a strange man was standing outside her house. An elderly woman who had, um, a gun.
[...]
"I will show the photos to my wife and children," Svensson told me. "They thought I was on a safe trip."
He's lucky he didn't get hit by a damn bus or truck.
"Walking and talking"... right into the grill of a Peterbuilt coming at 70mph.

That you think it's quite allright to shoot people if they happen trespassing your lawn is not only crazy, it's more anarcistic than any communist ever would have thought up. And you think they're dangerous.... But then of course, you have allways thought it's ok to kill people all around the world, what ever the rest of the world thought about it, so I guess you think it's allright to just shoote, kill, torture and ravage as long as you're some happy folks just claming your fucking right to live safe on your own fucking property.... right?
Well good luck to you, the rest of the world is really getting very tired and sick of your megalomaniac behavour and soon you will probarbly stand there alone with your guns and your american pride, the rest of the world will abandon you. And good riddance, I say! And no, I am not muslim, and no I am not a terrorist, and no I am not a communist, but I am a World Citizen.
"Safe and sound" needs to get his meds adjusted, it sounds like...
Posted by: BobG at March 4, 2008 12:36 PM"Safe and Sound" is a typical Euro-weenie. I bet he fainted after he hit the Post button.
If a stranger is trespassing, especially in a rural area of Texas, you better believe he's gonna be greeted by an armed property owner. It doesn't mean he'll be shot, but common sense dictates that you don't walk out and approach an unknown trespasser with milk and cookies. Grow up, you failed socialists.
Posted by: Dangerous Texan at March 5, 2008 10:52 AMI shure wish that Illinois had this trespassing law. Seen an article in the Huston Post I think it was on trespassing, about 82 83
Posted by: lowell at March 2, 2009 3:26 PMDangerous Texan,
You are not John Wayne. I know you probably masturbate dreaming of being a cowboy shooting anything for any reason.
You might think you are Awesome for being that way. But much of the world will see you and your fellow gun obsessed retards as....................retards!
