How did he end up there? By his own devices. He also showed no interest in exiting\leaving, up to that point. At that point the SD criteria was met.

The shooting and self defense claim isn’t about trespassing it is about Green shirt’s threat of illegal serious bodily harm by taking the rifle away from black shirt and shooting him. To compound the problem Green shirt go hands on and black shirt then shots green shirt. Black shirt fires his weapon immediately after the struggle for control of the weapon. An important factor is the Green shirt was much bigger than black shirt creating a disparity of force.

Notice it says "force," and not "lethal force."  Both are defined by statute.  In pretty much every state you can use reasonable force to get someone off your property.  You're saying the manager of a grocery store can blast a drunk in the head for refusing to leave the restroom when requested.

I’ve a few more pages to catch up on but in bold is part of what I’ve been saying. This stopped being an issue over trespass. That time has come and gone when green shirt ran at black shirt. Being in the porch is icing on the cake. This is now an assault after being told to leave. The spoken threat(s) of physical action against black shirt, the contact. When he touched black shirt’s firearm, he showed his intent to follow through with those spoken threat(s).

You are correct; you can’t use deadly force against trespassing individuals.  This isn’t a trespass, case it is a case about the confrontation that took place when black shirt legally appeared with the rifle and green shirt told him he was going to take it away from him and shoot him.

Green shirt’s mouth and actions got himself killed.

True, but you also don’t get to fire warning shots at trespassers as long as all they do is stand there and tell you they aren’t leaving.  You get to call the cops and have the cops remove them.  Obviously, green shirt did more than just stand there when he started doing the monkey dance with black shirt.  It will be interesting to see what shakes out, but this feels like the Florida case where ccw was used by self appointed handicapped parking space monitor.  He ended up with a manslaughter conviction.

Classic example of “you can’t provoke the situation and claim self defense”

Nothing in that video warranted him to bring a gun out. You can’t use deadly force to threaten somebody who’s not been aggressive to leave your property. He showed utter disregard for human life by just bringing a gun into a verbal argument.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. He’s going to prison.


Oh hell yes you can threaten deadly force after repeatedly telling somebody to leave.

When somebody tells you to get off, you better leave the property. If you don’t, you just opened all kinds of lawful use of force to remove you.

Try getting into an argument on a bouncer when he demands you leave. You don’t?  They can use all force up to but not including deadly to remove you.


Bullshit.  You cannot shoot someone for refusing to leave.


You guys are dense. THREATEN use of deadly force after being repeatedly told to leave. That’s lawful.

The instant dead guy grabbed the gun, immediate, imminent, capable deadly threat with verbal assault.

A lot of folks in this thread posting authoritatively about Texas law, without actually knowing Texas law.

You can't use deadly force against a trespasser in Texas, day or night. Not unless they breach the envelope of your home. The threat to use deadly force can hence be viewed as assault.


Got damn you guys are dense. He didn’t use deadly force against a trespasser.

He used deadly force against an immediate threat that verbally said I’m going to take it and use against you.

Clear, capable, imminent deadly threat with means to do so.


That's like stepping out in front of a car and shooting the driver because he was going to run you over.

If, if, if…

He had every right to arm himself. There is a person refusing to leave his property after multiple demands to leave are given.

History is a factor. Somewhere it was posted, Green shirt texted black shirt needed his ass kicked or some such. Maybe he was a hot head, Black shirt tells him to leave, green shirts responds, Black shirt decides to arm himself.

Green shirt did not have every right to be there. Any permission to be that property was null and void the instance black shirt told him to leave. At that point, green shirt is supposed to leave, do not pass go and do not collect two hundred dollars. Green shirt had ample opportunity to leave but instead showed his intention was not to leave.

That’s private property, not some parking spot at some 7-Eleven. When you’re told to leave, you leave. Black shirt had every right to arm himself. If there’s any instigation, it’s by green shirt by his refusal to leave after multiple demands were made he do so.

High ready is not "pointing it at", which is what you said. Walking through the direction the muzzle is pointed while aggressively advancing on an armed individual and forcing them to adjust their position is not "getting swept", if that even happened.

We have different opinions, and at this point that's all they are, opinions.  I think trespassing is going to be a stretch with the visitation order.  Again, I will welcome the grand juries decision.

BS, a large number of people are saying that simply arming himself on his own property is provocation. What is the difference between someone who is armed and someone who is not? The only difference is the presence of the gun. Calling someone who has the legal right to arm themselves a billy badass for doing so is the reach. You do get to act like billy badass when someone won't leave your property (previously posted you can use force). You do get to defend yourself if attacked in the process, and you might need a gun to do so.

What in the actual fuck is the point of having the right to have a gun on your property if you aren't allowed to get it out when someone is making a disturbance on your property and refuses to leave? If you don't have this right, you don't have rights at all. And you're arguing to take that away.

I was meaning maybe they were playing with the guy constantly. I went through (albeit level headed) with my kids mom making me late for work or wasting my time often. I don't think she was doing it intentionally other then being a bonehead but people do play games and poke at people.

Absolutely maybe green shirt is a nutcase although I'd stand by my door with everyone in the house and tell him to leave. Maybe if he went crazy and started destroying my property or tried something besides standing there yelling.

Well Green shirts people didn't show any emotion either, so she must have been in on it as well.


If you bothered to read the article you would have read that she stated that the shots were so quiet she thought it was a paint ball gun, she only realized he was shot after she walked over to him.
Long barreled PCC's are very quiet.
Did you expect her to say, 'We were totally in it together, it was all my plan'. People are bringing in conspiracy, and planning with no evidence, and pointing to the boyfriend, ex, behavior. After the shooting, it could have been shock,....

Maybe they deal with his BS all the time, and know he will end up losing control. Which does help with the whole intentional setup, but also justifies arming\defending themselves.

BS, a large number of people are saying that simply arming himself on his own property is provocation. What is the difference between someone who is armed and someone who is not?

What in the actual fuck is the point of having the right to have a gun on your property if you aren't allowed to get it out when someone is making a disturbance on your property and refuses to leave? If you don't have this right, you don't have rights at all. And you're arguing to take that away.

And there you have it once again folks. What a lot of people here are saying or at least implying. It was the gun that was at fault. We need common sense and to not use our rights so that the left doesn't take them away. Because that would be common sense for them to do. Having a gun is an act of violence in and of itself and it is what caused the whole thing. We support gun rights, but....


This is ridiculously idiotic.  No one said the gun was at fault except you.  Nice reach though.  The guy who grabbed said gun when he wasn't in harms way and walked out like billy badass when he didn't need to is at fault.  Try again.

If you think this I have no reply because I can't begin to understand how pointing a gun at someone is the same as not pointing a gun at someone, and it's a really big difference for legal purposes. He did not point the gun at him until after the dad made physical contact. He was squirming around in fact, apparently to keep it not pointed at him.

It's definitely a tough case. I would've handled things differently if i was dad or boyfriend in this scenario.


If im banging a chick with kids i stay out of the situation and avoid the drama. If she was my GF I'd probably tell her to give the guy his kid but it looks like he was intimidated by dead guy.

What did Mr. Wallace say about pride?

Green shirt did not have every right to be there. Any permission to be that property was null and void the instance black shirt told him to leave. At that point, green shirt is supposed to leave, do not pass go and do not collect two hundred dollars. Green shirt had ample opportunity to leave but instead showed his intention was not to leave.

If someone has YOUR kid when a court dictated he/she is supposed to be in your care you’re damn right you don’t leave.  It’s funny how you’re painting him out to be some random guy.  He was a dad picking up his kid and yelling how they were withholding his child from him.  He wasn’t some random who wandered up onto his property.  

I’m all for gun rights but I swear some people are just straight pussies and are frightened by the littlest shit and go running for their mommy(their gun).  Black shirt had nothing to be afraid.  That video shows 0 threat when he went to get a gun.

58 second mark right when black shirt comes out the door.  He comes out with it pointed at the ground.  He brings the rifle up to high ready and yells at Green shirt, "Leave right now."  Green shirt moves towards him and says, "Do it."  Black shirt drops it to low ready pointing at Green shirts feet.  Green shirt says, "Use it motherfucker.  I'll take it from you."  Then they start chest bumping.  Green shirt didn't touch anyone prior to the rifle coming out and getting muzzle swept a few times.
High ready is not "pointing it at", which is what you said. Walking through the direction the muzzle is pointed while aggressively advancing on an armed individual and forcing them to adjust their position is not "getting swept", if that even happened.


I’m not the arguing that having a gun pointed at you is not having a gun pointed that you.

You can like that photo all you want, but the swiftness in which he dropped and his final body position hint at a different tale (as seen in the video from the truck).

And, when you play the video from inside the house, the video doesn't show that he was advancing, and if anything to the contrary.  He was backing up.  That's why his body fell the way it did.  The bullet didn't do that.  The bullet can't do that.  His body position was the result of what he was doing prior to being hit with a CNS shot.

If he was advancing, he would have fallen forward.

Property?

You don't have to have already lost life or limb to prepare yourself to prevent it.

No one can do anything but speculate as to his frame of mind leading up to shooting especially without the background on their history. Change the actor to anyone who you don't have this weird context of thinking he needed to get out his dick to prove superiority though. E.g. it's the grandmother and they're at the grandmother's house, he's acting like that, she orders him to leave, he replies "make me" or whatever we can't hear he said, she gets a gun. Is that okay? Of course it is. The same rules have to apply to everyone, even shitbags like the shooter.

Again, this was a dad trying to pick up his kid.  He had a right to be there.  Take away peoples kids and see what happens.  Every single parent would react the same way, especially if it’s happening repeatedly.  

Also, I’m sorry but if you were afraid of that man before the gun was retrieved you’re a GIANT fucking pussy.  He had shown 0 reason to fetch a gun.  Notice how it all escalated once a gun was retrieved.  

Maybe gun laws should change since so many pussies are so quick to retreat to shooting someone on here then.  You have the vast majority of people saying bad shoot and then softies screaming “he was threatened!!!  He had to kill him!!” Sorry, but you’re wimpy and instigate you don’t get to hide behind murdering someone because you got scared.

They’re both random dudes to me. Notice - “Green shirt” and “Black shirt”. I know their names, I’m just not going to use them because they are both random to me. As far as “right” to be on property, the only one who has that right to be there is/are the residents. Everyone else has permission to be their and that permission is subject to the property owner or resident.

Some folks think they are bad asses and think nothing about getting into arguments and fights. Texas is a mutual combat state, but just because one party wants to fight it doesn't obligate the other party to oblige them. No one is obligated to take a beating, and the dead guy was obviously bigger than the guy with the gun.

That is lefty talk, the feels and emotions are winning you over. In the grand scheme of things a life here and there doesn't matter, but our rights do. Better than 100 guilty men go free than one innocent man be imprisoned. In edge cases the benefit of the doubt should go to any accused. If any family members feel so strongly about this issue they should handle it themselves.

Unless there is a court order stating otherwise.  Like maybe a warrant, or court ordered visitation agreement.

Was Black shirt, in the moment, cognizant of Greens shirts actions? or was his state of mind defensive.
