This tragedy would not have happened if he had not stopped to eat at a tacqueria! We need to close all the tacquerias and ban them! For the sake of the children.
From what I saw of the vid months ago, I probably wouldn’t have taken his last shot, but I wasn’t there, so who knows? Good to know the perp is not going to be a burden on the taxpayers.
The actual shooting itself, fully justified..
The post threat removed execution shot to the head after he was down and walking out the door and pouring his water on the corpse, while I can understand the emotion to do that, that’s where you get into legal problems.
Last shot is definitely where you get into legal hot water.
Everything up until that point, clear and present danger, protecting your life and life of others from terminal threat.
Threat is neutralized, that’s an execution at that point.
If this guy walks for that, even in Texas, I’ll be surprised.
If I remember correctly the shooter gives the money back to folks, realizes the robbers gun was a fake and flips out, and then also dumps his drink on the corpse as he walks out.
Been a while since I’ve seen the full video... but I have no issues with anything other than that execution shot... Really, really, really will be surprised, if, even in Texas, he doesn’t wind up facing something for that.
Could probably hit him up with abuse of a corpse and a few other things as well.
This why jury service is so important. You need at least one sane person on every jury.
Prepare to be surprised. He was no-billed by a grand jury. They can't charge him criminally for the crime again.
Personally, I think the GJ was correct in what they did. This guy deserved to be killed.
How have you been, Morgana? I hope you are doing good.
I don’t think you get how it works.
Grand Jury was presented certain charges don’t know what those were. But don’t think fr one minute other charges cannot be brought.
I have no issues with the execution shot.
The criminal justice system has failed us. The armed robber should never have been out of prison in the first place. This sort of thing keeps happening and we are on our own when the predators are released.
People will respond accordingly.
“Had this happened in California, the “vigilante” would be held w/o bail (in a no-cash bail state) and sent to prison for life.”
In my county, the sheriff would have praised the shooter for his marksmanship and eliminating the criminal. The prosecutor would rule the shooting justifiable.
California is an abnormal growth slowly destroying itself.
People are free to respond how they like, but don’t be surprised when you find yourself being charged for violating the law yourself.
No surprises here.
I have no illusions that the State in which I currently live would respect any claim of self-defense, no matter how well it might be justified. A use of deadly force around here would certainly be prosecuted regardless of circumstances.
Corine! “Yes?” Shut up.
That’s good news!!
