I believe he was not charged with any crime.
That happened right up the road from my house. He killed them both and the police didn’t wanna charge him, but under pressure from latino groups and the black panthers, they caved...but when it came before a grand jury the didn’t indict(IIRC)...I’m sure the police & prosecutor did a piss poor job presenting the evidence b/c none of them wanted him convicted....oh and the 2 guys he shot were illegals...
“Speaking of Texas..(I’m assuming you live there) a few months ago there was a man,from TX, who witnessed some thieves trying to break in to his neighbors house and he called 911 and then proceeded to tell the operator he was going to have to shoot them and she was trying to convince him not to. But he did anyway...can’t remember if he killed one or just wounded them. Did you hear about that or what happened to the guy?”
The perp was a black illegal alien. He was attempting to leave the scene of a felony with stolen goods and was killed by the home owner next door. The shooter was not charged with anything because the killing was legal under Texas law.
If you mean the guy in Houston who did cleanup with a shotgun, while an unmarked police car sat right out on the street?
The grand jury returned a "no bill". Meaning that they found no crime had been committed. Just lawful use of deadly force.
Local race baiter tried to make something of it, until he found out the perps were not Blacks, but rather illegal aliens from central America. ;)
I think that this is what you’re thinking of. It’s hard to believe that it happened in 2007.
