These people were probably gun free zone yankees who moved to Texas for a job.
 
The same sort that will call the sheriff and game wardens every time they hear you pop off a round at the gun range you've had on your own property for the past 20+ years.

True, but it's gotten way more acute. I don't know how many times the local news has said "suspect described as a male - if you know anything about the incident call police" - so you have to go find the Facebook page of the investigating agency, scroll around and chances are good they will have info to fill in the blanks. Also citizens may be posting there who have even more detailed info. About all the media does these days is alert you that something has happened and it's now up to you to do the legwork to get the details if you're so inclined.

Yes. That’s what I’ve noticed. It’s almost as if either the AP or the “journalism” schools have dictated that they better not dare mention race if it involves a minority, and the TV stations dutifully comply.

With all the video nowadays, blacks keep this up, and they’re going to have some big regrets.

Lets hope Texas put’s these violent AH’s away for at least 20 years.

There was a felt sense among the jury that was too much. Maybe unbalanced verdicts in the news a lot at that time? I think the fact that they showed no actual interest in harming the people they robbed...yet...was factored in. I always thought they would end up doing so, if not stopped. Glad they were.

grossly negligent situational awareness. Should have being moving to cover drawing and firing

Cut them some slack, not every normal citizen has undergone the intense commando and ninja fighting training as you have.........

Only about 1 in 10 well-trained, armed people could have reacted quick enough to draw down and start firing in that scenario. It was just too fast and out of the blue. So I agree with you.

Exactly. Keep reading the responses of FReepers who criticize these victims for the audacity of taking their dog for a walk.

In Massachusetts, it’s “a Boston man”, “a Lawrence man”, “a Fall River man”...

That confirms my initial suspicion. Hipsters getting their “diversity training” after gentrifying a new Hipster Hood.

I assumed that was the only kind of idiot that would walk their dog around that late at night.

The attack occurred just after midnight and apparently very close to their townhouse/condo based on the footage.
Yes, why how dare people think they can step outside their front door without having completed SEAL training.

“I assumed that was the only kind of idiot that would walk their dog around that late at night.”

I think we made it up to 109* yesterday. It was 86* when I got in the truck about 0630 today.

They seek to “obtain cover and commence shooting” each time a car drives past in a suburban neighborhood. Priceless!
