Keep in mind I am not saying they did break any specific TX law. I am just wondering how they are gonna be put in prison if they didn't break a law.
Because a Jury trial, while being a decent system, can and do get it wrong. The "optics" of this look bad. Get a jury loaded with liberals and play the disparity of force nonsense and the unarmed daddy angle and it will not matter that the father/son were completely within the law.

Just look at the comments in this thread.

I also live down the street from a place where thefts murders an assaults have happened in the past. He told me because I wouldnt let him walk that way that he would not deliver the mail and would just send it back I tried calling the usps before walking down to make sure to get him On recording refusing to give me my mail he refused to say anything. so I called him a Bitch an a coward for not repeating what he said and I went Home....15 min later My home was swarmed with Police banging on my door Scaring Emegail so I had Kara leave with Emegail because my medications had not kicked in and I was getting overly anxious with the police.Tried calling Grandma only to realize well shes out of town. I asked if they had warrants they said they didnt need one as they continued to bang on my door profusely an hide away from my sight which I called them on multiple times. I told them I have a mental issue they needed to leave I did not want to talk to them and they insisted on causing me emotional and mental strain along with the physical strain of my heart not being able to slow down over an over.I told them you can call my caseworker I have the files verified of my disorder all you have to do is leave my property because you do not have a warrant I walked thru them and left MY OWN HOME because I did not feel Safe. I left long enough to allow my meds to kick in and calm me down before coming back discovering they were still there SO I showed them the video of exactly what I said when I walked down the street to him.. They are now reporting that I made a terroristic threat when I told the mailman to stay away from the girls windows because he might get shot..I also have had Adult Protective Services called stating that I am not in my right mind 3 hours after all transpired I told them I am fine and asked why they were calling they said because Abilene Police Department called saying I was a danger to myself.. Not anyone else to myself.. I am so sick of the harassment everytime APD shows up to my door ...I DO NOT HAVE TO ANSWER MY DOOR I DO NOT HAVE TO TALK TO YOU IF YOU DONT HAVE A WARRANT GET THE FUCK OFF MY PROPERTY .....then louder then louder then louder till I HAVE no hold back. They stand there laughing as I have a breakdown they refuse to leave stating they dont have to have a warrant..I need a Lawyer I have the videos Im tired so tired of them not allowing me to calm down...I told them I would talk to a detective after the report was made...and still they woiuld not leave...I am tired of losing my mind to stressful situations So I went and got medicine for it only for APD not to allow me to stop an take to walk away from situations they refuse everytimeI got arrested a year or so going thru withdrawals from my meds telling the officer I needed them only for him to refuse an charge me with a disorederly conduct which I cannot control without my meds.. I admit it I take my meds I do whats right only to have APD numerous times keep me in mental Strain..

I understand SYG and all that. Even though it is legal to stand where you are at and defend yourself that doesn't mean it is the smarter thing to do. Had they just backed up and covered each other until they got back to their home and called the police for the raving lunatic outside they wouldn't be in jail for murder charges.

Both parties seemed to be in mutual combat mode, they were both instigating and taunting, one party just happened to bring a stick to a gun fight because he himself was a moron as well.

I can’t help but wonder that it’s the whole “if I show them my gun they will run away in fear” and when the orange shirt guy didn’t run away, they had no plan b.

With that said, calling the cops on crazy neighbors is a joke. It does zero to resolve the issue unless there is enough to put them away for a long time. That kind of thinking got my sister’s car firebombed in her yard just a few weeks ago.

Highly likely as they're nextdoor neighbors. Hell, they may have watched it happen and/or they may have heard him screaming and shit on one occasion or another.

Ordinarily, when there's a lunatic in the neighborhood...the neighbors make it common knowledge.

I can't believe how many people think Orange was calm and collected in the earlier encounter when Miller Sr. was alone, when Orange was a raving lunatic with the mailman, with the cops, in every bit of the video, and in multiple other incidents with the cops that Orange referenced in his own Facebook screed.

It is like it is actually "MADE UP" that Orange had a documented disorder called IED! Yet some think he was not someone who would put a normal person in fear?

A flippin mailman called the cops on that nut after simply trying to deliver mail to his house.

They must have heard about what happened with the post man, and figured they needed to set some limits, and to not get cowed by his  bluster.  Now this was the WRONG strategy--they should have just called the cops and let them sort it out (and I can understand why orange shirt guy didn't call the cops--he was on their shit list already).  They should have disengaged from his monkey-dance and called the cops, and kept doing that as these confrontations kept continuing to arise (while continuing to carry for their personal protection) and sooner or later the situation would have resolved itself.

You are taking the wife's statement as a fact.

There's the "excuse me fine sir, but could you please return the mattress to the garbage receptacle" approach, and then there is the behavior we saw on film which was Howard being irrationally aggressive and threatening to kill people.  I'm guessing Howard's approach to telling Miller to put the bed back in the trash was closer to the latte than the former.

Threats?  Who gives a fuck?   Your going to stand there and let it escalate,  rather than risk  more harsh words?   If you back away and he follows,  that's another matter, but you still have guns,  and he still doesn't.   It isn't pacifism to avoid killing someone that doesn't need to be killed.   It's called not being stupid.
