Frisco is in Texas. Calling San Fransisco “Frisco” is a faux pas to native Californians.

“Ding Dong Ditch” is not kicking in a door. It’s knocking or ringing the door bell and running. And it wasn’t called that when I was a kid.

Well, we called it Ring & Run, but I know what you’re talking about.

And we did it when people were still up, not as late as 11:00. More like 9:30-ish in the summer, earlier in the winter. And yes, we never kicked the door.

Frisco TX is not the Frisco from back in the day. Lots of recently minted Texans there now..

“Officers who responded to the scene on Scottsdale Way said Wolfe left his residence, walked into the street, and fired multiple rounds at a passing car he believed was involved.”

One of my homes is in TPC Ranch in the Frisco McKinney border. When I am not at the homestead or in Austin it’s where me and the wife kick it, she shares her time when I am fine with Highland Park and her dad’s former home. This is Frisco Texas not SF.

He is cooked you cannot even in Texas leave your residence and shoot into passing cars once they represent no more threat to you. If he would have shot them on his property while attempting an actual forced entry fine. We used to call this Ni**er knocking back in the 90s you didn’t try to kick in the door you just rang rang rang and ran away. Giggling the whole way. Maybe you tossed some toilet paper rolls in the trees then rang rang rang.

He won’t get much sympathy for blasting down the street. I am a Collin County citizen if I am on his jury he goes down for each charge for being an angry dumb@$$.

The legal argument is castle doctrine only applies on your property and only if there is a immediate threat. Chasing after teens and blasting into their car is a sure fire way to club fed. Take this morons firearms and keep him in jail we don’t want his kind in our community.

Legally, yes he's in deep doodoo.

But these days I wouldn't bet on the outcome of any legal case.

People who own firearms really need to know gun safety rules and “use of deadly force laws in their location.”

“…telling dispatchers…”
“ the driver and two passengers first said…”
—————————-
Commenting here as if people speak the truth?
Sometimes people shoot at others because they want to kill them.
Then afterwards they say whatever words are necessary to get off the hook.
“I was in fear for my life” you will say to the cops to the courts and to your cell mates for the rest of your life.
Remember also my friends, that when you go on trial, your words here will be recorded and read to the jury.
Here in North Carolina even if someone is actively kicking your door, you cannot shoot unless you can SEE them. Is there a window on your door? Can you wait until they actually breach? Just because you feel violated you do not get to kill someone!

Don't see the shooting as a punishment, it was a consequence.
If you harass your neighbors until someone snaps, bad things can happen.
