I'm fairly certain that at least ONE person on the jury will not convict him, regardless of what the law says


In the meantime, at what cost? In the end the business wl be gone alone with his assets. For a six pack of beer?

Exactly as it should be, let me add!


jhe888, others remind me, in Texas once it gets dark outside, there are other defenses for property owners correct?

Thanks,

The way I look at it, it's not the beer, but our right to operate in a less-and-less free society.

As I said earlier, maybe he should just hang a sign out front that says "Free Beer."
