All I was saying is the fact that the dad was agitated did not make him a “worthless, violent punk”. He wasn’t smart and should have backed off when confronted with a gun, but his anger is understandable if you have ever been in that position.
Perhaps, not in those words. He *was* angry and agitated, and unfortunately he then reverted to the angry meathead jock stereotype. He bowed up on the much smaller and slighter homeowner, attempted to intimidate him, physically assaulted him with provocative chest slams and then laid hands on him. His anger and lack of anger management skills instantly qualifies him as “too stupid to live” in Texas and he got what was legally coming to him.
I am not a small man, but were I in the same situation with a proportionally sized assailant, I am going to let him hit me once so I have both property defense and self defense law on my side, then speed rock, mag dump and then we’ll see how much he wants to continue being a blind meathead with most of his guts and torso missing thanks to fourteen .45 ACP hollow points.
Sure, I can understand the anger - but if this is what the guy did all the time when angered, him getting blasted may have been to the benefit of his kids.
