But the gap between shots and the head shot is a problem.

Ethically perhaps, but legally the prosecution will have to have a coroners report establishing beyond a reasonable doubt that the perp was still alive at that point. Difficult I think.

Yes, and when you commit a violent crime like this you forfeit every right you have and every second from the moment you begin is simply borrowed

Here is the biased repirting.

“Eric Eugene Washington, 30, was shot nine times by a vigilante diner who was allegedly “protecting everyone” at the Texas restaurant. One of the shots struck him execution-style in the head. He later died as a result.”

YEAH!!!

Eric Eugene Washington was an aspiring robber who was merely trying to earn enough money at the taquiera to buy a real gun; his fledgling career interrupted too early by this evil vigilante killer. No telling what kind of big robberies he could have achieved if his career hadn’t been cut short.

Eff the community activists.

Yes, it looks like the perp was shot in the back. But I don’t care. If he hadn’t barged into a restaurant, brandishing a weapon of sorts and stealing people’s property, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.

that activist lib POS had better shut its pie hole. The shooter looks like he’d be happy to drop another mag into him. the last shot shows he’s done this before.

who was holding a fake gun.

And by the way everyone reacted in the eatery everyone knew it was fake, right?

What a load of crap.

Well, the dude didn’t re-load.

There’s a reason Texas has the “Luby’s Law”

the gun just went off.......it isnt a revolver, so I could happen. In fact it happens when cops are holding them all the time...dozens and dozens of rounds fired into cars, people and unfortunately poor helpless dogs. Often times into innocent people too.

Dear white people: Defending yourself and others against a black thug is racist. Normal People: And what else?

Everything is racist.

the first eight shots were fatal. So at most the ninth shot was an “abuse of a corpse” IMO

Things looked OK to me until the last second or two.But I’ve never been in that situation so I can’t be sure what I’d do.

Shooting an ARMED THUG in the back is the safest way to do it if the opportunity presents itself!

RE: “of the New Black Panther Nation”

Shouldn’t that be “of the highly respected and influential New Black Panther Nation?”

I’m not arguing that point at all. I agree - the jackass shouldn’t have gone into the restaurant brandishing whatever sort of weapon and stealing people’s property. He gets no sympathy from me.

I think we could all do without the ALLCAPS and exclamation point hysteria. ;^)

RE: shooting a thug in the back....

We assume the reports were accurate. Was it really his back?

An old saying is ‘If I had a dog that was as ugly as you are I’d shave his rear end and teach him to walk backwards.”

I assume that white people includes White Hispanics, White Native Americans, White Asians and Mostly White Afro-Americans.
