To me, theft of a TV set by an 8 year-old dies not invoke a death sentence. Just my thoughts.

Am I going to be able to get to a sports bar in time to watch football?

P.S., not trying to be “nasty” with question.

Not a problem; I noted no acrimony, but maybe a little lack of understanding how the law is understood in Texas; witiien and otherwise.

It’s just that there are so many legal questions that really need to also be reviewed in the “cold light of day, the real world.”

Indeed. And both as written and as practiced, Tecas law can be confusing and sometimes contradictory rather than mutually inclusive and mutually exclusive...particularly once case law is thrown into the stewpot. but here too is another codification for your consideration:

§ 9.32. DEADLY FORCE IN DEFENSE OF PERSON.

(a) A person is justified in using deadly force against another:
(1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.31;
(2) if a reasonable person in the actor’s situation would not have retreated; and
(3) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:
(A) to protect himself against the other’s use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force; or
(B) to prevent the other’s imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery.

It’s like Slick Willie and The Hildabeast. To them, and so many like them, if something is (barely) legal, then it is perfectly fine to do it.

Just so. And if the law does not apply to them or their behavior, then neither does it apply to anyone else. As, for example, in the case of the investigation into the murder of a young woman when Mr. Clinton was the Arkansas Attorney General.
