Eff the homeowner. Enjoy prison.

Sorry dude. You don't get to assault people at their home in Texas. You definitely don't get to try to take the gun out of their hands.

There could be other evidence that changes the context. But based on the video alone I think the homeowner walks.
Too easy to murder someone over a heated argument. Imo, the homeowner could have easily tried to de escalate the situation by simply telling his girlfriend to go in the house and calmly asking the father to leave his property. Absolutely no reason to bring a firearm into the situation imo. Father had a right to be angry and at worst should have been arrested. But let's go ahead a kill a man, so I can show how much of a badass I am.


Reason was lacking. But he has the legal right in Texas to openly carry at any time.


There's a difference between legal carry and brandishing a weapon as a threat.

So private property is not a thing with you? I can come on your property, chew you out, physically get in your face (he ws physically pushing the small guy) and try to take your gun? Interesting.


Tell me where in that video there is a threat to the shooter's life. That wasn't even a fight over the gun. You don't have the right to kill someone for that. This is straight up murder. The shooter took steps back, aimed, and executed.

Yes to all of the first part. To the gun part, the assault started when the homeowner brought out a gun without being in fear for his life. The guy didn't grab it until a shot was fired. There was absolutely nothing there that justified threat of or use of legal force.

Legally, this is murder and should be treated as such. Sorry if you think private property is some sort of sanctuary from the law, but it's not. Especially when you are in violation of custodial rights, which could be considered kidnapping. You don't get to shoot people because they're on your property or threatening to take you to court. The guy with the guy committed the initial assault and escalated it.


Texas has constitutional carry. He can arm himself whenever he wants. Doesn't give anyone the right to assault him. The aggressor was the deceased.

Shooter stepped back and fired the fatal shot. It didn't look like the deceased was advancing on him when the shot was taken. Looked like murder.

Rewatch the video. There is a fight over the gun.

Is one of the most absurd things I've ever read. Good grief! You don't know what the word assault means, obviously.

Are you trolling? The legal advice you are giving us is incorrect and if you aren't a lawyer it's also illegal.

After the first shot is fired. No grab at the weapon was attempted prior. The first shot set it off and it was in the direction of the victim

Also kind of disturbing that there was no screaming or anyone going to aid the deceased.

He merely walks out of the house with the weapon. That isn't brandishing. He is then assaulted.

Not sure on the legality, but bad shoot. Stupid people, sad situation, tragic outcome.

Lol. People can give any advice or opinion they want. It's not illegal to give an opinion on here.

Then he stepped back and fired it. No grab was attempted prior to that. It started when he turned a heated conversation into discharging a weapon

The first shot is fired into the ground while the shooter is being assaulted.

Then the assailant grabs the gun. On someone else's property. In Texas.

He is feet away and it is in the direction of the victim. Surprised he didnt get one in the foot.

Who knew that the ADA Binger, who tried Kyle Rittenhouse, had the same view as the texags politics board. Merely having a gun is a reason for other people to assault you and grab your weapon.

No. I think it is you that doesn't know the legal definition of assault. There is no standard of physical violence. Assault and battery are completely different things.

The people that are most cavalier on this board about the use of their gun rights also seem to be completely unaware of the legal standards required to utilize them. And I say that as someone who fully supports gun rights.

Post the definition of assault.


Why don't you ask your buddy since he doesn't understand the term. Bringing a long rifle outside to the porch on my property is NOT assault.

You absolutely, 100%, have no idea what the term assault means if you think taking a long gun on to your porch is assault.

Based on what I saw. New Boyfriend is a murderer and poor kid is going to grow up without his dad, without his dumbass potential step-dad, and mom is going to make bad decision #3 soon enough.

I'm all for people's right to defend themselves and was 110% Team Rittenhouse, but this is a murder. Going to retrieve the weapon and then discharging the weapon was the first threat of violence. And depending on the details of the custody agreement, I could go for kidnapping too


Agree.

The context matters. If you are threatening someone with it, it 100% meets the standard of assault. The issue is further compounded if the man who grabbed the gun is in violation of the deceaseds parental rights.

The guy who was gunned down shouldn't have pursued this to the point he did. Take that hoe of an ex wife to court for sole custody.

The shooter should at a minimum spend the rest of his life behind bars. Absolute idiot who needlessly threw down and then took someone's life.

The kid is the loser in this, poor kid had to see his dad murdered by his idiotic step dad.

The wife should lose custody forever.


If you have been around many custody fights you would likely know this isn't the first time he had to deal with this. And the court isn't EVER going to side with a dad unless it is straight up physical abuse with some drug use involved.

Dad likely knew he was screwed and was just fighting for his kid until the end.
