Friday Open Thread [6.7.13]

Did you know it is OK to shoot escorts who won't have sex with you in Texas? A Texas jury acquitted a man who shot an escort he contacted via Craig's List. She's dead, but:
During closing arguments Tuesday, Gilbert's defense team conceded the shooting did occur but said the intent wasn't to kill. Gilbert's actions were justified, they argued, because he was trying to retrieve stolen property: the $150 he paid Frago. It became theft when she refused to have sex with him or give the money back, they said.
Time to give Texas back to Mexico, I'm thinking.
