You use those words to accuse me of what you just did. How dare you judge my post in such a manner. You could have left that first sentence off and given your opinion.

I agree with the rest of your post ,but it has NOTHING to do with my post. This thread is not a discussion about the merits of legalized prostitution. As of right now, prostitution and hiring a prostitute is illegal. I stand by what I said. If you get involved with criminals, don't be expecting sympathy because one of them double crosses you.

I don't think anyone is going to believe a story about wanting to hire an "escort" so you can "preach" to her. It is so absurd, it is funny. I won't go so far as to say he got what he deserved but I will say he got what he ask for. If any of us put ourselves in a situation of danger with nefarious individuals, we can't expect sympathy when we get "victimized". I put the word victimized in quotes because calling yourself a victim when you are committing a crime and get burnt is a very loose usage of the word. Claiming you were attempting to help someone when caught in the act of a sex crime is classic.

I can understand why they wrote the law to exclude criminal activity from a defense in the usage of deadly force. I could be a drug dealer who has not been caught yet. I have a CHL and can legally carry to protect my drugs???? LOL... it is kind of funny to think about.

Not necessarily. TPC § 9.31 (a) (3) states you are justified in using self defense UNLESS the actor was engaged in criminal activity, other than a Class C misdemeanor that is a violation of a law or ordinance regulating traffic at the time the force was used.

Solicitation is defined in TPC § 43.02 and is a minimum of a Class B Misdemeanor.

So, he would not be justified using self defense in this case as he was engaged in criminal activity by the act of solicitation.

Oh my... I did not think of that angle. He may have been in some trouble himself had he used a legal concealed weapon and defended himself.

I don't feel he deserved what he got. I simply don't believe he was wanting to "preach" to her and thought it funny that he said it. That woman needs taken off the streets IMHO. He needs to be more careful who he hires to "preach" to.

That is crazy! They have her name and photo. What on earth made her think she could get away with robbing this guy??? I can see where an anonomous person might feel like they can pull it off, but robbing someone who has your name and photo?? Pretty dumb.

I am not sure I believe his story about wanting to preach to her. It sounds like he was trying to buy some companionship and made that story up to cover himself. He could preach to someone for free. Why would he pay to do it???


I have watched a show that traps child predators into going and talking to Chris Mathews on camera. Then they arrest them...LOL. I never believe those people when they claim they were coming to save the under aged girl.
