It’s incidents like this that bring to the forefront the notion that our courts seem to have that middle-aged or older man is not justified in using a firearm against multiple assailants 30 years younger just because they’re not carrying guns. I’m 72 years old some 25-year-old says he’s going give me a major beatdown, I have to consider my life is at risk.
Texas law specificity allows for the defense of a third party with force. When force is authorised under Texas law it always includes deadly force by definition of the law of force. If one has reasonable belief that force is necessary to prevent or stop continued serious bodily injury of a person then force is authorised. Three people beating a downed bleeding man is 100% the definition of this statute. In Texas I would have shot the person closest to the victim in the CNS without saying a word as it’s not required by the law when the other two reacted how they reacted would determine if they lived or not.I have a copy of the Texas penal code in PDF format on this very phone as I type this. Have a attorney on retainer in Texas all shooting automatically go to the grand jury it’s state law. So the question is do you care enough about that third party to spend the money to face that grand jury. I my case money is only money more can always be made and with God’s grace behind you money will never be an issue with faith in him. Save the life worry about man’s idolatry of money later.
