Layne, for the most part, I share your outrage. While the lady in question WAS ripping him off, and Texas law DOES allow the use of deadly force in defense of property, I believe he should have been convicted. Now....if he had hit and killed the PIMP.....I'd a shook his hand and given him a cigar.
Your strawman....refusing service for some reason and not returning some or all of the donation.....is a good one. In theory, in Texas, it would be ok to shoot you for that.
But in the spirit of "what's sauce for the goose", I offer up the following:

This providers only mistake was not doing business in Texas. By passing along an uncurable STD, he did at least $150 worth of damage to her property. In Texas, that's justification for lethal force.
And speaking of force.....every time you point that thing at me it makes me randy as hell! Quit it!
