Quoted: Does it? Is this the applicable statute? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Are asking if the fender bender is in your front yard? It makes a huge difference. Does it? Is this the applicable statute? A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property: (1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.41 ; ?and (2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary: (A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime; ?or (B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the property; ?and (3) he reasonably believes that: (A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by any other means; ?or (B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury. Huge difference- your looking for 9.31 not 9.41 in this circumstance. Nice try though |

You would think that the ex-wife would call the bio-dad to inform him of a delay if the son was not there. That assumes that she is not a full blown ass. Ex wife can be heard on the video saying, “I want to see him.” She also says something about 6 o’clock, which starts green shirt’s rant about he gets the kid at 3:15, she can see him before that time, and she keeps trying to prevent green shirt from seeing his son. Green shirt’s widow says they were there to pick up the kid. It looks like green shirt’s ex wife led him to believe the kid would be there and then tried to change her story. |

Quoted: The ex wife didn’t tell green shirt where the kid was. Green shirt’s widow can be heard yelling, “she should have told that,” in response to black shirt yelling at her, “he’s not here,” after the shooting. View Quote Unfortunately, Green shirt’s only recourse is to go to court as it is a civil matter; not to start verbally ranting and raving refusing to leave the property. If the police had been there that is what they would have told Green shirt. It sucks; but that is the way it is. It is just like collecting on a bad debt. If you have a court order to claim the debt, you can’t go over to the dead beats house and start ranting and raveling at them refusing to leave if they tell you they don’t have the money and order you to leave. |

Quoted: I am not sure threatening legal action qualifies as “aggressive” but ymmv View Quote Did he leave the property as he was lawfully ordered to do so? No, he instead started to lose control screaming and pointing his finger moving around the area in an uncontrollable fashion. Texas law requires you to vacate property immediately or as soon as possible. Once Green shirt didn’t leave, black shirt had every right to arm himself on his property which he did. This act enraged Green shirt and is where he stepped over the line by making threats of deadly force against black shirt. I wouldn’t bet any money that Green shirt hadn’t knocked back a few and arrived in a pissed off mood. |

Can anyone point me towards the part in the Texas penal code where you can shoot people for trespassing? No, you can’t because it isn’t in there.
Shooter chose to give up any advantage he might have under castle doctrine by leaving his castle. So, it being his property has fuck all to do with it. Now it’s just a straight “Did you reasonably have an immediate fear of death or serious bodily injury.” With all the AOJP elements that apply. And that’s why the shooter is well and truly fucked.

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: That perfectly illustrates the point I was making earlier about green shirt trying to leave. Assuming that's his white truck, how is he supposed to leave without black shirt perceiving a threat because he's advancing? When you tell a guy to leave then you have to let him leave. That is the law regarding tresspassers. Black shirt effectively had him captive and then executed him. That's the proverbial smoking gun before the actual smoking gun. It makes absolutely a lot of sense. Look at the pic. Look at where shooter guy is in relation to the green shirt guys path of escape. He is directly between the green shirt guy and green shirt guys truck. Should green shirt guy make his way to his truck? He'll be advancing toward the shooter if he does. As I've said, shooter, IMO, would then be justified in shooting EVEN THOUGH green shirt is actually trying to leave. So what is green shirt to do in that situation? He's a captive of black shirt because he has nowhere to go. He never got a chance to do anything because shooterman was butthurt enough to kill him. The correct thing for black shirt to do is to demand that green shirt prone out, then have the skank beast call the cops and explain everything. Not to kill green shirt unless he advances in a threatening manner. |

If green shirt hadn't run his suck, and the fight had played out exactly the same, it might be different. But he announced his intent to commit a forcibly felony against a man who was legally armed, in a time and place he was allowed to be, and then began acting on it.

Quoted: Can you point to where in Texas code, an individual is prohibited from openly carrying a firearm on their own property? No? So what right does green shirt have to then begin making (and visibly acting upon) threats to forcibly take black shirt's rifle and attack him? I may not know all the nuances of Texas penal code, but I'm fairly certain that the Lone Star State still considers trying to physically grab an item from another person, against their will and with the threat of force, to be robbery.

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Can anyone point me towards the part in the Texas penal code where you can shoot people for trespassing? No, you can’t because it isn’t in there. Shooter chose to give up any advantage he might have under castle doctrine by leaving his castle. So, it being his property has fuck all to do with it. Now it’s just a straight “Did you reasonably have an immediate fear of death or serious bodily injury.” With all the AOJP elements that apply. And that’s why the shooter is well and truly fucked. Which probably suits baby momma just fine and solved both of her problems at one throw.

Green shirt paid the price for his cockiness. Hmm, carrying a firearm on your property is a little different than pointing a rifle at someone and yelling, “leave right now,”at them. Texas has the deadly conduct statute below. Black shirt pointing the rifle at green shirt and threatening deadly force with the, “leave right now,” probably qualifies. Taking a shot at his feet definitely qualifies. Texas Penal Code Sec. 22.05 Deadly Conduct (a) A person commits an offense if he recklessly engages in conduct that places another in imminent danger of serious bodily injury. (b) A person commits an offense if he knowingly discharges a firearm at or in the direction of: (1) one or more individuals; or (2) a habitation, building, or vehicle and is reckless as to whether the habitation, building, or vehicle is occupied. (c) Recklessness and danger are presumed if the actor knowingly pointed a firearm at or in the direction of another whether or not the actor believed the firearm to be loaded. (d) For purposes of this section, “building,” “habitation,” and “vehicle” have the meanings assigned those terms by Section 30.01 (Definitions). (e) An offense under Subsection (a) is a Class A misdemeanor. An offense under Subsection (b) is a felony of the third degree. |

Only time will tell how this plays out. Honestly, it can go either way; but at this time it is favoring black shirt guy. Those saying he blocked green shirt guy’s exit path must consider that green shirt guy pushed or shoved black shirt guy to the location where he finally shot green shirt guy. Black shirt guy had no indication the green shirt had stopped fighting when he pulled the trigger.
We will have to wait for the investigation to be completed. A lot depend on which county the decision to prosecute will be made. |

Quoted: Did he fire one round into the dead guys foot initially? It was also pretty quite, did that rifle have a suppressor on it? View Quote Real life gunshots don't record well - when you hear gunshots in movies and on TV they are sound effects. Things like cell phones have trouble accurately recording such sound pressure level events. |

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 Shooter appears to have an accessory to interfering in child custody, so no self-defense for him. |

You need a dance card to know the players.
Green shirt’s, Chad Read, new wife, Jennifer Read, on 11/24 filed this 12 page lawsuit seeking custody of the child from green shirt’s ex-wife Christina Read (black shirt’s, Kyle Carruth, new girl friend) Black Shirt’s ex-wife is State Judge Anne-Marie Carruth. She appears to have nothing to do with this case other than having been married to black shirt. It’s odd that Jennifer would request custody of the children, when she is the stepmom. Christina, the real mom, must be a real piece of work. There is a lot more to this story, apart from TX laws, with regards to castle. A lot of cray, assholes and poor decisions on this one. The two boys are the biggest losers in this one. Unless black shirt and Christina planned this, I still believe black shirt will not be charged. |

Quoted: How about saying "I'll leave now" if by some miracle his thick head took a notion to it? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: It makes absolutely a lot of sense. Look at the pic. Look at where shooter guy is in relation to the green shirt guys path of escape. He is directly between the green shirt guy and green shirt guys truck. Should green shirt guy make his way to his truck? He'll be advancing toward the shooter if he does. As I've said, shooter, IMO, would then be justified in shooting EVEN THOUGH green shirt is actually trying to leave. So what is green shirt to do in that situation? He's a captive of black shirt because he has nowhere to go. He never got a chance to do anything because shooterman was butthurt enough to kill him. The correct thing for black shirt to do is to demand that green shirt prone out, then have the skank beast call the cops and explain everything. Not to kill green shirt unless he advances in a threatening manner. Yeah, that might have worked. Had it been me, I'd have probably put both hands up and made a big half circle around Napoleon and back to my truck. Green shirt never got the chance because Napoleon had already decided that he wasn't respecting the magic shooty stick and needed to die. He picked the worst possible time to shoot. Greenie wasn't advancing or presenting an immediate and imminent threat. He'd have been much better off if he'd shot him when he first came out of the house. |
