I ask myself…….would I have done the same thing under the same circumstances?
Going outside with a weapon to confront someone who is “bitching” and not vandalizing, or harming anyone is stupid and asking for trouble.
The shooter wanted the man off his property.
Ok, I have trespassers all the time on my property. Hunters, campers, etc. should I shoot them? Or call the State Police if they fail to leave?
None have refused to leave so far.
I carry a concealed weapon myself and if I’m home and on my land I open carry because of bears, Elk, wolves, etc.
I don’t unholster my weapon at the sight of trespassers.
Geeeez.
Call the cops, give them time to arrive.
Let the angry man carry on with his grievances.
2nd Degree Murder with the option for the Jury to take it down to Manslaughter.
Did the shooter even call the police himself?
Yeah, yeah, property owner rights and 2nd Amendment……I get it, I’m for it, but trespassing and complaining is not a capital offense in this country.
Amen to all

I’m often puzzled or dismayed how so many posters think killing an unarmed man is so easily justified
“I was afraid”
“They were in my yard”
“The pushed me”
“They we’re bigger”
I was raised in Jackson Mississippi born 1957 and lived in Dallas till first grade.
That was just not how we were taught, you either fought or you ran or you cal the cops ..I realize they’re limits to such actions...at times ...
However...I had a man ....from Texas.....Houston....tell me a scared man with a gun will shoot you quick
I don’t know if castle applies or not but it’s interesting to see tha law application evolves
Philosophically and morally it’s a bad kill to me and yes the wife bears responsibility too
Legally we’ll see....
