Quoted: One dude dead, another in prison and drama queen is out sucking somebody else's dick tonight. View Quote There's a fool made every minute, and a Pretty Girl with a blowjob gets most of those fools started right back down that rocky road of heartache & financial ruin again and again and again and again ... ... ... |

Was there a single adult in the mix here? I mean everyone is focusing on the two assholes colliding that both made poor decisions, but Jesus the woman filming was nearly as bad. She didn't scream, hollar, flinch, or anything when her man was shot and killed right in front of her. She didn't try to render aid, check on him, or anything. What. The. Fuck.

Quoted: What's he supposed to do? Give him a second chance to make good on his threat to take his gun from him and use it on him? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: The part where he disengages, steps away, then shoots him didn't have that "Kyle clean" look to it...... What's he supposed to do? Give him a second chance to make good on his threat to take his gun from him and use it on him? I'm not saying that, I'm just saying it doesn't have that squeaky clean glow that all three of Kyle's shootings had. Optics matter. |

Despite what we see on the video, which could be assholes collide and shooter should maybe be in jail or there’s a long trail of threats and this was the straw that broke the camels back - only the involved parties know (at this point).
The reality is - it all depends on local/ state law. Vid also doesn’t take into account what, if any, previous history they had or any threats there were. There’s always more to it than just the video (which if released, always shows bias to one side). Not familiar with TX laws, but some strong castle doctrine/ stand your ground/ brandishing/ property laws could very well justify the shooting. Refraining from opinion until more is known, but kinda looking forward to maybe another epic thread in the same vein as the alley mattress, KR and the jogger. |

Quoted: On the one hand, Shooter escalated an ordinary argument by unnecessarily bringing a gun into the situation. Dead guy tried to call his bluff. Shooter wasn’t bluffing. Shooter is a murderer. On the other hand, Shooter told dead guy to get off his property. He didn’t, so shooter brought out a gun. Shooter didn’t point it at dead guy till dead guy got a little physical. Shooter then shoots dead guy. I’m actually gonna go with shooter on this one. Get the fuck off my property and sue me later if you want. But get the fuck off my property when you are uninvited or become uninvited. And definitely don’t touch me on my property when I’ve told you to leave my property. I reserve the right to change my stance as more information becomes available. View Quote I can get behind this. Everyone in that video was acting like an asshole, but if you’re told to leave my property then you’re leaving. Now with that said the warning shot to the foot was pure bullshit and most likely to screw him of charges are brought. |

I have to wonder how much more to this story there is that we haven't heard about.
Possibly such things as the dead guy having made threats to the shooter in the past? Which could explain why the shooter went and got the rifle. Also, I won't be surprised if we are seeing an edited version of the video that was released by the wife. Who knows what was possibly edited off of the video prior to the portion that she released? |

My wife's ex was a flaming idiot like that.
Ran his mouth every time he picked up there son. Finally got tired of it and did the exchange at the Police Department.....that pretty much shut his pie hole. Then he just abandoned his son when he was around 7 or so...never called or anything. I always stayed out of the arguments, had my phone ready and let my wife handle it. If I thought it was going to go sideways I had a plan to just dial 911 and stay defensive. He has since passed away and his son barely shed a tear...kinda sad, but the father made that bed. |

Quoted: I actually can't believe this thread so far. In my time here this place has been full of "get off my lawn" types that will argue felony brandishing and deadly force against trespassers is completely within their rights. Then we see it play out on video and they instantly cuck themselves and side with the dead guy. View Quote I can't believe there is a person dead over a stupid custody argument .........no need to bring a gun and escalate the situation men have pride and I'm sure there are some very hard feelings between the ex's ,just really stupid thing to happen . |

Quoted: Looks like a good shoot. The shooter appeared to be in fear for his life and the "victim" stood in his path of retreat back into his residence. I don't see how this could have played out any differently. View Quote Are you joking ? He didn't need to come out to threaten the guy, the guy wasn't threatening anyone harm and it sounds like his child was being kept from him against the courts order. I don't know if that is true but that is what it appears to be. Regardless if he had a problem he could have called the cops not bring a longarm out to intimidate the guy and shoot him from a distance. |

Quoted: The whole part where he goes into the house specifically to retrieve it, is where the shooter made the wrong call. Bringing the gun back out, after initially walking away from the argument... Enjoy prison. View Quote But, the point where he told Mr Bullet Sponge to leave and he didn't kinda comes into play. I have a real hard time feeling bad for leaky McAsshole |

He told the dude to get off his property. Fucked up situation but I'll always side with the property owner
|

No humans involved. Having a hard time dredging up some care for anyone but the kid.
|
|
Looks like a good shoot to me. Dead guy was raging on someone else's private property. Refused to leave private property and then wanted to fight the guy holding the gun.

Quoted: You have no evidence of that. Also, not adhering to custody order is not kidnapping. I think we've learned that from all the other threads where judges have basically called it disobeying court orders. It is not, however, kidnapping.

Seems most people here saying bad shoot are basing it on emotion IMHO. Sympathize with a single father, etc. Shit my divorce was so fun I lived in a tent the first couple months and for nearly a dfecade I had to play fuck fuck games to see my kids.
Not once did I every tresspass and refuse to leave , and I certainly wouldn't have tried to grab a gun yelling that I was going to kill a guy with it. I loved my kids more then myself and would never do anything to fuck that up.sometimes it meant driving 4 hours back home without seeing my kids. It sucked but I would not do my kids favors being in prison or dead |

Quoted: Didn’t look nearly that clear cut to me. DRT said he was going to take the gun from him, advanced on him, tried to take gun away from him, ignored a warning shot and advanced again. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: That was murder. No excuses at all. He needs prison in the worst way. Didn’t look nearly that clear cut to me. DRT said he was going to take the gun from him, advanced on him, tried to take gun away from him, ignored a warning shot and advanced again. He wasn't advancing when shot. Maybe he would have if he hadn't been shot, but at the time the shooter was making distance and then shot. Seems harder to justify shooting someone for trying to take your gun when you broke the contact and made distance yourself and then shot. Seems even harder when you brought the gun into it when it wasn't a fight before. I strongly lean toward guilty. |

The dead guy instantly escalated when homeowner guy brings out the gun. Dead guy gets in his face, body checks him (assault), and then verbally threatens to take homeowner's gun and kill him with it. I swear some of you people are worse than the Kenosha faggot DA. |

Quoted: Wonder if it was changed to coincide with the son getting out of school. Looks like sone Lubbock ISD schools get out at 3:15. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Most Texas Standard Custody Agreements are that Possessions usually change at 6PM. This shit was going on around 4ish?? THAT is why the Divorce Custody agreements state 6pm for exchanges. (A) You don't want them both trying to pick up the kid as school arguing who is supposed to & the hapless school security crossing guards being in the middle of Tug-O-War over Timmy & Tina. (B) kids get off school need time to pack their bags, do homework, get chores done before leaving for the weekend and returning at 6pm on return Sunday. Mom may have "said" oh come over at 3:30 to mess with Angry Dad, but it is what is WRITTEN that counts when the Cops show up. BIGGER_HAMMER |
