The video describes the facts of the case, which all parties agree upon.  Under current Texas law, is this person guilty or was he unjustly killed by law enforcement/vigilantes?

A nightmare at Karaoke...
IT'S LIKE 4000 words.

I can see why he drove a race car to relax.

Some things will never change.

That's just the way it is.


Ah, but don't you believe them...

From thirty thousand feet aboveThe desert floor, I see it there below
A city with a legend -
The west Texas city of El Paso
Where long ago I heard a song
About a Texas cowboy and a girl
And a little place called Rosa's
Where he used to go and watch this beauty whirl.

His first mistake was falling in love with that Mexican girl

Ha. Got me OP.
Classic song. One of my favorites.

Bruce Hornsby sucks cocks.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

He baited the cowboy into reaching for his gun so he could kill him. Then he stole a horse (a hanging offense back then, I believe) and fled across state lines. He was an armed fugitive wanted for murder.

All over a prostitute.

Woman have a knack for ruining everything

Most state's use of deadly force laws have some sort of clause invalidating any protections if the confrontation was initiated/caused by the person.

In this case, he clearly knew that he was provoking a confrontation and was warned by several people.
He ignored those warnings, precipitating a confrontation.

"Stand your ground" legislation *may* protect him in this case, but Texas doesn't have any.

He is probably screwed. If, as I suspect, he is white, he is doubly screwed.

Well, he did steal a horse.

Do we burn down an Autozone now???  Or a Taco Bell????

We used to sing that song with the Tucson Boys Chorus back in the early 1980s.  Fun memories, it was always a hit at the rodeo and at the fair grounds.

Official drunk theme song of the United States Border Patrol.

Deleted double entry.

Thank you, good sir.

Instigated a fight.
Killed the guy.  
Fled the scene.
Stole a horse.
Crossed state lines.  

Likely a justified shooting.

First of all, Felina was a dancing saloon girl; her job was to dance for the cowboys, and get em to buy drinks. So being jealous of that behavior is like getting jealous of your chef wife cooking dinner for other guys.

Second, our narrator started the fight by “challenging” the wild young cowboy. If you were having a good time at a bar and some armed whacko stepped to you, wouldn’t you reach for your gun?  I would. That’s second degree murder committed by our psycho stalker jealous narrator, and an innocent man trying to defend himself.

Third, the police didn’t kill our narrator. Five mounted cowboys to his right, off to his left were a dozen or more. Not cops, sheriff, marshals. Cowboys. These are the dead guy’s buddies, or else irate townsmen who think our narrator is psycho.

And what does our narrator do? “Shouting and shooting and shooting, I can’t let them catch me; I have to make it to Rosa’s back door.” Our narrator is doing all those verbs: shouting, shooting, riding. This sonofabitch starts another gunfight, but some concerned citizens with rifles end his reign of terror.

The narrator of Marty Robbins’ masterpiece was a piece of shit. He got exactly what he deserved.

Great song, though!

He died for buttsecks, in the end.

That's just the way it is.  Some things will never change.

Marty Robbins did a fine job, I love the Grateful Dead versions the best.

I see what you did there! ??
