Most of my response earlier is just Texas law, but...
We do believe in freedom. But I absolutely think brandishing a weapon should be a crime. If that's in fact what they did, then they should face those consequences. General rule in TX is that you shouldn't clear the holster until you have cause to use the gun. Doesn't mean you have to use it once it is out though. I dunno how long they had the pistol out but it seemed as if he was just walking around with it. As for the long gun... Long guns are a little tricky since they are at best, slung over a shoulder. I support the right to carry them I just think in many situations they are a poor choice. Think of it this way... Your neighbor hates something you did and walks up to your driveway with a shotgun in his hand. Wouldn't your immediate thought be how to defend yourself? The shirtless Yahoos may not have done anything illegal, but they made a series of poor choices which escalated the situation or at least, failed to de-escalate it. 1- engaged with a crazy man 2- possibly used the threat of force to enforce trash rules (guns in hand while accosting him) 3- failed to leave the scene when they could have done so safely They decided that they were willing to kill over a trash violation essentially. Should they have to deal with the crazy orange guys bullshit? No, but there were a lot of other options available besides a showdown. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD. Everyone involved with this situation was a dumbass, although the biggest dumbass was the orange shirt guy. |

They're going to have to argue that his conduct was immediately necessary to prevent against imminent harm. And given the info we have so far I think he can make a case (orange t-shirt guy is probably unbalanced), but I don't think it is a strong one. All this is, is a case of two dumbasses colliding. Neither one was right. View Quote |

That is the physical science of it. The psychology of it is another matter, but basically they got blindsided by the guy not responding rationally when they pulled out guns and got caught in a mental loop of "WTF do I do NOW?" which was aggravated by the adrenaline making it hard for them to think. |

The requirement is that the belief that your life, or a 3rd party's life, is in imminent danger, or that grave bodily, to either, is imminent. This must be reasonable in the eyes of the jury. A jury of your peers, or the bench judge at your trial, as finders of fact and presumed to be reasonable people themselves, will decide that detail. Then there's the whole deal with brandishing (menacing) their firearms, but we can't see the beginning. While exhibiting grand stupidity, if Frick and Frack rolled up brandishing those weapons, dead guy might have the reasonable belief that his life was in imminent danger and therefore, grabbing a bat was reasonable, even against all odds and leading to his YouTube demise.

At about 1:46 son looks to change grip and be thumbing the safety into the off position. He was also moving to get an angle on the guy. Note son did not have a round chambered until his dad fired...dad fires, son racks then boom.
With orange so insanely agitated and big, would they have been safe to just turn and walk away? Orange HAD threatened to take the old guy's gun and put a bullet through old guy's head at 1:08 (LiveLeak). |
