Green shirt should have fired his hands up & retreated to his truck when he saw the rifle. He literally asked for & then received a killing. Seems like, timely customer service to me. Black shirt has no duty to retreat & can defend his home with whatever force he deems necessary. Green shirts legal duty, was to evacuate the property- the FIRST time he was told. Every moment he stayed, was an escalation- defying black shirts authority, his autonomy. Bet he had a real satisfying shag, that evening. He just needs to knock-up green shirts current (former) wife & his knighthood will be complete. |

Quoted: You said it yourself he was assaulted after it was produced do you honestly believe that dead guy was going to kill someone he was angry about his son View Quote We don’t know what he would have done.

Quoted: The disparity of force tips in favor of the guy with a gun in this 1 on 1 situation. And the "totality of events" is that a guy got involved in a verbal altercation, left to go retrieve a gun to resolve it, fired a shot at the guy's feet and then finally another 2 fatally after making a bunch of distance and not being faced with any imminent attack. When this whole thing is viewed in total, it looks terrible for claiming self-defense. It's only when people here start breaking things down atom by atom that they can try to fish for some justification. Yes, it's legal to be armed on your property. But it casts things in an entirely different light when you leave a confrontation for the purposes of coming back armed to achieve with deadly force what you couldn't with words. View Quote That is only after the gun goes bang and the bullet goes thud. |

Quoted: The only other thing is that the dead guy didn't touch the gun until the after the warning shot, which I think you have backwards. If he had a right to be there (and I'm not sure he necessarily does), and someone shoots at him, wouldn't grabbing the gun be self defense? View Quote Nope. He went for the gun BOTH before and after the warning shot. |

Quoted: It gives him permission to meet up with Mom to pick up his Son.  So if Mom was there, then yes. Courts don't usually specify location, just meet with Mom. View Quote Wrong. They specify a location. Typically they specify the residence of either parent, depending on who’s doing the picking up. If there’s written evidence (email/text/coparenting app) of an agreed upon location, that holds water as well. |

He did retrieve it, it was readily apparent he retrieved a firearm, and there was no attempt to hide he retrieved a firearm but he did not present it with any sort of verbally spoken threat (that I heard) or menacing act against green shirt. When I say “menacing”, he did not point or wave or display it in a direct manner towards green shirt. Basically, it was now present in black shirt’s possession. |

Green shirt was correct to close the distance and negate the threat the rifle presented. Throwing Black shirt away gave back the distance that ultimately led to his demise. ALL of you are ignoring the fact Chad was at Kyle's HOUSE !!!! He had no right to be there, and if he would have handled the situation appropriately he would still be alive. He has every right to go to where the other parent is and retrieve the child. It doesn't give anyone the leeway to start arguing and continue arguing inside a restaurant over custody violations. The proprietor can still tell one or all involved to leave the property. It doesn't give anyone the leeway to start arguing and continue arguing on your private property over custody violations. The owner/resident can still tell one or all involved to leave the property. Tell them to leave, sure. Call the cops, sure. Grab your rifle and make people think they will get shot for not listening to younot so much. Well, I’m pretty sure you’re wrong about a person’s legal standing to arm themselves. I don’t believe black shirt behaved (acted) like he was going to “shoot people”. He did retrieve it, it was readily apparent he retrieved a firearm, and there was no attempt to hide he retrieved a firearm but he did not present it with any sort of verbally spoken threat (that I heard) or menacing act against green shirt. When I say “menacing”, he did not point or wave or display it in a direct manner towards green shirt. Basically, it was now present in black shirt’s possession. Force has to be proportionate.  I own a bar.  I have loud drunk patrons refusing to leave.  My bouncers can drag their asses to the door and throw them out.  My bouncers pulling firearms and ordering loud drunk patrons to leave will result in loud drunk patrons owning my bar. Bouncers are not there to defend themselves Neither is the proprietor of the establishment. Neither was black shirt until green shirt ran up on him. Trespassing is not a deadly force situation, even in Texas. You can go get a gun and tell someone to get off your lawn. You can’t point that gun at them and tell the person you will kill them if they don’t get off your lawn when they sit down and tell you to go fuck yourself. |

(My apologies) - That’s not what I said. They are not there to protect themselves. They are there to protect/enforce the rules of the establishment. It does not mean they cannot defend themselves when necessary. Their main purpose for being there is to protect/enforce the rules of the establishment. ETA: Now, that’s all within reason and define by law. ETAx2: It’s a totally different scenario. |

Quoted: Texas penal code 9.04.  THREATS AS JUSTIFIABLE FORCE.  The threat of force is justified when the use of force is justified by this chapter.  For purposes of this section, a threat to cause death or serious bodily injury by the production of a weapon or otherwise, as long as the actor's purpose is limited to creating an apprehension that he will use deadly force if necessary, does not constitute the use of deadly force. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: But the owner/proprietor can't go and get a gun and act like he's going to shoot people. Tell them to leave, sure. Call the cops, sure.

Your use of force still has to be justified, which for deadly force means it has to meet all the criteria for justified use of deadly force before you can threaten to use deadly force. 9.04 isn’t a get out of jail free card for assault with a deadly weapon or deadly conduct charge. |

Quoted: I've watched it several times. Both angles. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Honest question; if someone just shot at you and then gets within arms reach, would you make a play for the gun? That’s clearly not what happened.  You need to watch the video again. I've watched it several times. Both angles. Carruth didn’t “get within arms reach,” Read moved on Carruth and battered him as Carruth was standing on his porch. But maybe I’m missing something, so tell us all about how Carruth moved on Read, and not the other way around. |
