Quoted: Nope, when a trespasser REFUSES to leave, sometimes, they need a bit more convincing. Not your residence? Asked to leave, you fucking leave. PERIOD. By not leaving, you are the aggressor. Not sure why this is even an issue. Common sense does not seem to be a trait of dead guy. View Quote If the trespasser was trying to leave with a weedeater from your toolshed after dark, sure. As it is, we'll see I suppose. Having no responsibilty to retreat on your own property(and that's a big assumption that it was) and returning with a long gun during a civil dispute muddies the waters quite a bit. You can"t shoot trespassers unless they're engaged in other criminal activity against you or your property(or maybe you can depending on how this plays out). |

De-escalating and avoiding someone getting killed is the prudent course of action in a civil dispute like this with known parties. Even if you're 100% right and justified in your position it would be smart to walk off, let things cool down, and sort it out later. No sense in shooting someone, or getting shot, when you can avoid it easily.
The dude coming out with the PCC in that context was a fucking moron. The father getting in his face and turning it physical was equally stupid and he got himself killed. Even if you're right and the other person is wrong, attacking an armed dude isn't likely going to turn out well. |

Quoted: When, at what point, and by whom, did the property owners gun come into play? And who the property owner actually is still seems to be in flux. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Like threatening to take the property owners gun and use it against him, and then trying to follow thru with the threat? When, at what point, and by whom, did the property owners gun come into play? And who the property owner actually is still seems to be in flux. The shooter had free access to the residence. Whether or not he was the actual owner it certainly seems reasonable to assume he’s a resident and he was well within his rights to obtain a firearm to defend himself and the property to demand the gentleman immediately leave the property. This was a “good” shoot, only in the sense it is justifiable homicide. But this is a classic case of when assholes collide, and unfortunately it had a very sad ending that could have been prevented. |

You pull a gun like that and you better be ready to pull the trigger, this guy thought just showing the gun would scare the guy and then in a spilt second, he thought he had the right to shoot him and did.
Probably play that one over and over sitting in prison for the next 20 years. |

If idiots knew they could get deaded for doing shit they should not be doing, we would not be in the social problems we are in now.

When divorced dad didn't leave when asked thats paints him as the aggressor.
When divorced dad manhandles firearm carrying new daddy of his kids in a aggressive manner he gives the new dad an out for shooting old dad. Now there is just one dad. Powers that be will see 90% dead dad instigating his own demise. |

Dad comes to get son.
Ex wife, NOT a judge thinks she is above the law and doesn’t have him ready for pick up. Man gets angry, another man shoots him in the face. Ex wife gets her way and no more dad issues. Great outcome for the kid. Fuck that woman. |

In Tejas this child custody shit goes on ALL the time…. Dead guy was obviously familiar as he knew he would have to take them to court and get a court order from a Judge. When shooter comes out with the gun and demands he leaves, at what point does advancing on him, chest bumping and threatening to take the gun and use it on him and then attempting to do so seem like a good idea? |

I don't think trsspasser man had to die.
I don't think pcc man is a good person. I don't think pcc man is guilty of murder in 1st. I think voluntary maslaughter is still a hard sell given the facts. The facts: * The tresspasser man was asked to leave the property * The tresspasser man advances on pcc man * The tresspasser man lays hands on pcc when not pointed at him * The tresspasser man continues to be agressive even after an ill advised warning shot from pcc man Better move for pcc man would have been to retrieve gun, reiterated request for tresspasser man to leave then shut the f*sk up while waiting for leo to arive. |

Three major takeaways
1 The song in the background.- the words that played right before the gun play She needs wide open spaces Room to make her big mistakes She needs new faces She knows the highest stakes. The 2A guy listening to Dixie Chicks? What a song to die by. That was his ultimate punishment. 2 Dead guy’s fashion sense- Am I the only one that cringes when I see tennis shoes with blue jeans? 3. The girl in the center of all this mess really knows how to pick dudes. That is all. |

Don't care to call this one. I believe that under AZ law, it would come down to the "warning shot". The shooter was justified in threatening with deadly force to remove the other guy from the property (assuming he's a resident of the home), but was not justified to shoot at that time because there was no threat.
I'd give it about a 50-50 chance that the first warning shot/ND would be considered assault with a deadly weapon, and provocation. If we assume this, then the dead guy was defending himself when the shooting occured. If not, then the dead guy was the agressor and the shooting was justified. All depends on how that first shot is interpreted, and where that interpretation falls under the law in that jurisdiction. Edit: Watched it again, and am correcting myself. Dead guy did offer a threat before the warning shot. Still don't care to call it, but I don't think it was murder, maybe manslaughter. Both parties escalated. |
