I was going by the report. But no matter what, if they find this man he’ll be in trouble. No judgement here; but trouble.

If someone uses a deadly weapon on you to steal a material item, they’ve already shown that an object is worth far more to them than your life. No quarter.

Police have not filed any charges - and just want to speak to the customer”... so they can charge him.

Lawyer up and shut up.

He should have stopped before the head shot, because he went from ending the threat to killing the perp.

I particularly like the part where he shot the perp in the head. 8 rounds to the body and then the coup de grace. Awesome.

“Personally I think the guy went a little overboard but that’s for a jury to decide.”

He diddn’t want to give the perp a chance to turn around and shoot him.


Perfectly valid point IMHO.

It’s Houston...Harris County. There is a DA drooling to bring charges against the guy.

Yep. He's going to jail.

Indeed! The best version. You see the perp getting all nine shots.

I thought that at first, but you can see when the perp hit the floor his gun went sliding way out of reach.

Her actions are in line with the DA’s from Baltimore and Chicago. Thanks for clearing this up and correcting my assumption.

Right.

No offense to others on this forum but it is past the time when we could rationally discuss the system of pseudo justice as if it were genuine.

The system is now totally dependent upon which side of the corruption one has been brought to face the outcome. Plus judges were lawyers and lawyers have to be Leftist woke anti-Trump students or they won’t get their law degree. The tiny amount in the Heritage Foundation or a few others are the exceptions. So judges are Dems or Socialists often voted in or appointed in Dem areas. Prejudiced and deeply biased like Sotomayor as one example.

Any DC grand jury or court trial and judge will have 100% anti-white, anti-Trump outcome. There is almost no jury of one’s peers anywhere. Lawyers use professional witness selection corporations to weed out the prospective jurors.

The media have already either 1) blackened the name of some suspects or 2) brought out tearful sobs of sympathy from others, depending upon race and political affiliation.

Old magazine cartoon of man’s back as he faces the judge:
“Sir, you have been tried and found not guilty in this court. I’m going to let you off this time with a warning.”

His is not the pseudo justice dispensed by biased, prejudiced Leftists in the woke system. His is genuine justice. A shame he’s fictional.

Guy was probably dead at that point so maybe a minor charge of desecrating a body would fit? Rest of the shooting was certainly justified!

An important distinction. That is what the coroner will determine. If he was already dead or had received mortal wounds, then the shot would not really mean anything. But you can guarantee that the perp’s family will sue.
