Quoted: Green shirt ran up and assaulted an armed man. Black shirt commanded him to vacate the property multiple times to no avail and then armed himself. Green shirt escalated closing the distance while black shirt made no move to advance, he just stood his ground. Green shirt further escalated by making loud verbal threats and causing bodily contact. He then escalated even further by allowing his hand to forcefully contact the firearm. Does black shirt shoot him then? Did he not have the ability and reason to end this right then and there? Maybe, maybe not but he doesn’t. There was either a warning shot or ND during that exchange. He doesn’t shoot him is the result which can be seen in the video. This isn’t me seeing what I want to see - these are the events unfolding and plainly seen in both videos.

You just witnessed a murder. It's as simple as that.
Anybody who can't see that, shouldn't be involved in the conversation. |

Quoted: 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. View Quote Denying visitation in Texas is a criminal offense. Jailable criminal offense. Not civil. |

Not civil. Interesting. I still would pursue other remedies than going hands-on with an armed man, which as we can see may turn out poorly. As much as I fall into the avoid inviting the man into your life camp, I think I would have invited him if I were on either side at various points, and avoided any physical confrontation. Black shirt? Call and report trespassing, stay inside and cover girlfriend in case he attacks. Green shirt? Walk back to the truck when black shirt brings out the blaster and report an armed fellow interfering in your custody issue. Instead you have two morons that just kept ramping it up. Rutting bucks for all the does on hand, as evidenced by the chest bumping and black shirt trying to look taller. I'm not sure criminal charges will help things, but I hope black shirt realizes how badly he fucked up and won't do something so stupid in the future presented the opportunity. Obviously green shirt won't go hands on with an armed man again. |

Quoted: This will all be vitally important to the case. As will the DA’s office. Obviously how they handle this in front the Grand Jury will decide if charges are even brought, but if they are, this will point to potential provocation and whether or not the dead guy was trespassing. You can’t hide a kid and thereby provoke a confrontation, claim trespass (if the guy was in the right place at the right time) and then shoot the guy dead. You can’t isolate the dead guy grabbing at the gun the totality of the circumstances. Then there is the warning shot. Does Texas law specifically allow for warning shots? If not, prosecutor will say dead guy grabbed at the gun in self defense from the shooting at his foot…and likely be successful with that. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I was reading some of the news articles. They are indicating the shooting was around 4:20PM. On the video, the deceased is saying he was supposed to pick up have his son at 3:15pm. I am interested to see what transpired over that hour. Sounds like he went to grandma's house looking for the kid. He threatened to subpoena grandma when he drags them into court. It's unclear what the original pickup point was supposed to be, but the kid apparently wasn't at grandma's and wasn't where dad died, and dad was pissed at the kid apparently being hidden from him. He acts like it's the 87th step in an ongoing campaign to fuck with him. And I didn't hear anybody telling him he was wrong in thinking that. This will all be vitally important to the case.

Not civil. Not until a Judge Rules on it. That happens in... ... ... Civil (Family) Court. If a parent is violating the Court Custody Orders - the other party needs to go before the Judge in Court to present the facts (Documented) & then the Judge CAN rule to punish the offender in several different ways. Fines are typical, Arrest if it continues or fines are not paid. If other party refuses to show to present their case (misses hearings) or continues to violate the Custody Order, the Judge can issue a Arrest Warrant. However, until their IS a Arrest Warrant, no cop or deputy is going to play Perry Mason and insert himself in the matter unless the life or physical welfare of the child are at imminent risk. |

In other words, you can decide to record your own “wire, oral, or electronic” conversations with another party without telling them directly and without breaking the law – in most situations. There are some exceptions and sidenotes you should know. |

Considering the outcome I believe it safe to say he felt he was under imminent threat. View Quote That's backwards logic. Your argument is because he pulled the trigger, he felt endangered. In that case, everything is legitimate self-defense (cue the South Park "He's coming right for us!") Your job as a jury member (on arfcom ) is to determine if that was a reasonable thought/action at the time. Considering this is now 43 pages, it's obviously up for debate |

Quoted: Pretty much this. The mentality of a lot of gun owners on this website is scary. View Quote But But ... Muh "Castle"!! I predict that Black Shirt IS going to be "Tenderly Loved" by the Legal System with all the huge expense & jeopardy that entails. I don't see "Murder", but it could easily be "Manslaughter" for those two killing shots, and definitely "Deadly Conduct + Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon" on that stupid "Warning Shot". (Hint - in Texas there are no legal "Warning Shots" period! that's THREE FELONIES right there without having to prove Murder ... and should Black Shirt be somehow be found innocent (doubtful) at trial, he's going to be out $250,000 to $500,000 by the time it's over. Ouch!! BIGGER_HAMMER |

Quoted: "If" can go on all day. If the ex-wife had the kid ready, this would not even be an issue. Green was there to pick up his kid. He had a reasonable expectation to do that. There was massive escalation on both sides. If you think it's reasonable for a person to interject themselves into a child custody dispute, and use deadly force by simply declaring "trespassing," you are in the minority in civilized society. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: so, can I assume that trespassing and being aggressive are an OK act to you? How much better would life be, if people acted like they had some sense. If green shirt dude would have just left when ORDERED to leave, this shit would not even be an issue. "If" can go on all day. If the ex-wife had the kid ready, this would not even be an issue. Green was there to pick up his kid. He had a reasonable expectation to do that. There was massive escalation on both sides. If you think it's reasonable for a person to interject themselves into a child custody dispute, and use deadly force by simply declaring "trespassing," you are in the minority in civilized society. I will tell you like this. ME? I would have left once the dude told me to leave his property, thats how in the minority I am. Common fucking sense. I have left many of place pissed of so bad I wanted to beat the fuck out of someone. Being the civilized person I am, I just calmly left the place I was at. There was ZERO benefit to getting all aggressive with someone. Whatever happened years ago and someone busted a nut, is not all that important in relation to the last few minutes of that life altering event. On either side and up or down. You can theow "what if...." all day long, but those last few decisions from two people sparked the very outcome. If you and I are CCW'ing and the owner of the property asked us to leave, even though we have a legal right to carry, we fucking leave or face some time with LEO. We would be charged with, you guessed it trespassing. A resident of property asks you to leave, if you refuse, you are trespassing. PERIOD. Does this mean you should be shot? No, but, sticking around and acting aggressive is nowhere near acceptable behavior for any majority or minority. Reading the articles (and I dont really trust the media) there is some history that was not a nice one. How much is true? I dont know, but evidently enough where shit hit the fan. Again, idiots acting like fucktards. Here we are. If this mentality and attitude on my part is wrong or in the minority, then so be it. I am a better person for being civil until it is time I am fed the fuck up to an aggressive situation. I will take that title as a badge of honor. I will die knowing I am good person. |

View Quote But with the video everyone can see what happened, and it doesn't look good. They didn't arrest the defendants in the Arbery case until the video went viral. Same thing will happen here. Of course the flip side Rittenhouse would be in prison if it weren't for that video. Still, all things considered I'd rather be the only surviving witness to a DGU than have my actions recorded and spread all over the world. |

Quoted: IF this is true, it's going to knock a lot of wind out of the sails of the ''he's trespassing so I can shoot him'' posters. Even if he is shacked up with the soon to be ex of green shirt, does an ''invited guest'' enjoy the same legal rights as the property owner? And if the property owner [who's name is on the deed will be important] is on his own property, black shirt isn't in a very good legal position. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: This came in on Branca's blog from a LOSD member. His name is on the blog post, but i will not enter it here. Content below: "I think Andrew missed the most important factor in this case. The Shooter does not live at this property and does not own this property. The shooter is married to a judge. This property belongs to the father of the child, and the mother and child live on the property. The mother is violating the divorce agreement by refusing to turn over the child at the court agreed-upon time 3 PM on this property The father has a divorce agreement ratified by the court that states he’s allowed to be on his own property at 3 PM to pick up the child. Shooter is illegally interfering with a court ordered agreement. He’s committing one of several crimes by trying to trespass the father. The father verbally asserts his legal rights. The shooter leaves a verbal argument goes to a place of safety and instead of calling the police, returns with a gun. He then commits further crimes by initiating a deadly force attack of the father by shooting the warning shot. Warning shots are completely illegal in Texas. Responding to a non-deadly force attack with deadly force is also illegal in Texas. The father has every right to respond to the deadly force warning shot attack with his own deadly force attack. I am certain that this guy’s wife, the judge, would love the local authorities to prosecute him especially as he’s cheating on her with this man’s ex-wife. I am certain Texas going to throw the book at him." Does this change any minds? IF this is true, it's going to knock a lot of wind out of the sails of the ''he's trespassing so I can shoot him'' posters. Even if he is shacked up with the soon to be ex of green shirt, does an ''invited guest'' enjoy the same legal rights as the property owner? And if the property owner [who's name is on the deed will be important] is on his own property, black shirt isn't in a very good legal position. If true, my sails are flat. The complication is, if the ex lives there with black shirt, doesnt he default to agent of the property? If so, he does have the same rights as property owner including trespassing someone off the property and using deadly force?!?! |

Quoted: I’ve already stated I believe it was reasonable for black shirt to believe himself in danger and facing an imminent threat. Every action taken by green shirt escalated into a higher threat level. What indicator(s) are there to allow black shirt green shirt isn’t going to continue escalation? View Quote Indicators: Green shirt, unarmed, standing several yards away on the porch. Black shirt aiming a firearm directly at him. Black shirt had every single advantage at that moment. It was his choice how it ended. At that moment, everyone could have regained their composure and walked away. Instead, Black immediately decided to take full advantage of gaining the upper hand, and he dispatched Green shirt to the afterlife. That's why many in this thread, including LEO, think this was not a 100% justified killing. But clearly, opinions vary. ETA: Ongoing lawyer discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veU5mZZku5c |

We’re talking about events that are happening in seconds, broken down into one second after another. Is black shirt expected to be able to parse a second into tenths while being attacked? We are talking about twitch reflexes, reaction time to a stimulant. (there’s a better word for that, just on the tip of my tongue but is escaping me). If green shirt had done anything purposeful, ANYTHING, that showed his intent to halt his attack, that would be different. Your given indicators aren’t indicators at all. There’s nothing purposeful done by green shirt to indicate his intent. Did green shirt say anything to indicate his intent to deescalate? If he did, I didn’t hear it. ETA: Up to the point where black shirt sends two rounds into green shirt, every action made by green shirt indicated escalation. When exactly was black shirt supposed to know any intent by green shirt to deescalate? There were no indicators at all. |

The indicator I provided to you is that Green shirt is literally standing on a porch. He's several yards away. He's unarmed. Black shirt has to be under a reasonably perceived imminent threat to have justifiable self-defense. This is a life and death decision. The perception of many, including lawyers talking on youtube right now, is that the deadly shot was in anger, more than actual self-defense. If you kill someone, YES, your actions will be parsed down to the fraction of a second. The exact same parsing was done in the Rittenhouse shooting. For what it's worth, Kyle R. had outstanding trigger discipline, in a much more chaotic environment, compared to this Kyle. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Sounded like it was a parental kidnapping. Dad (dead guy) wanted his kid, he wasn't trying to start shit to start shit My ex used to pull shit like this all of the time. I once flew from California to Toronto to see my daughter and she decided to send her off to summer camp without telling me. I never got mad or yelled at her for all of the mean stunts she pulled. It wasn't worth giving her ammunition for the man-hating family courts. The victim should have walked away once the rifle came out. He would have had a good case for his child being in a dangerous environment. Absolutely. And a reminder to RECORD EVERYTHING AND TREAT ALL PHONE CONVERSATIONS AS IF YOU ARE BEING RECORDED. Which is illegal ?? Not in Texas. |
