i think they're all trash and i'd like them all to disappear forever.
this is a perfect example of why you don't get a divorce, why you don't get involved with people who have kids with someone else. if my wife leaves me, and she takes the kids - that's it she took the kids. they're gone. the kids are gone. maybe you can see them again, maybe not. the court isn't going to solve the problems they're going to create more problems. any woman who'd take your kids will kill your ass in a second given the chance. any woman who'd have children with a man, get divorced, the play custody games will absolutely get your stupid ass hemmed up with her failures for sure. my uncle was shot in the face by his wife, and before she shot him, she had tried to have him killed at least 2 other times. ugly custody battles are always about the couples hurting each other and always hurt the children. if someone would hurt their children, and the person they had them with - what do you think they'd do to you? if your wife leaves you, its over man - wifes gone and she's taking everything you and her ever made. you can move on or you can mess around playing games until she figures out a way to kill you. |

But just so we are clear, you don't get to claim trespassing while your committing the crime of custodial interference. And not just claim trespassing, but also be threatening deadly physical force against a man who is only there to try and take custody of his son in the exact way the courts say he is allowed. And when that same man shoves you, presenting no deadly threat, you don't get to shoot him and claim self defense. |

View Quote You cannot use deadly force in response to non-deadly force. That is a major pillar of self-defense law (proportionality). When Carruth responded to the chest bumping and nudging away the barrel by firing at Read's feet, he was using deadly force against what was a non-deadly force event. This action then provoked Read, understandably because Carruth had just turned the encounter into a deadly one, to grab for the gun. One can't use deadly force in response to an attack that person provoked. |

Quoted: I seriously can't comprehend how some of you pussies get through life. The dead guy wasn't trespassing, he was there to pick up his kid. Period. The bitch starts playing fukfuk games and tempers flare. There was no life or death situation until that short faggot got a gun and started shooting at dead guys feet. In this situation it is not reasonable to expect the words "get off my property" to have some magical effect. This is some drama BS brought about by the occupants of the house. You dont get to stir the pot, escalate it and the say " get off my property, no take backs and your dead if you don't". The guy was there to get his kid. This wasn't some unknown crackhead running up on them from a dark alley. Harsh words and flared tempers are part of divorce and custody problems. Period. What kind of fucking small dick short man faggot thinks that it's okay to murder someone over this shit? Just because he whispered the magical phrase "get off my property"? Im all for stand your ground.but against evil people looking evil shit, not some dad who is irate about his son not being where he is supposed to be. A family has been destroyed. What the fuck is wrong with you people? Honestly, im guessing that the "its ok to murder people if i whisper the magic phrase first" crowd stand about 5 foot 6 inches and are scarred of life. Of course you faggots want an easy button to kill people.. View Quote It isn't fair to assume that those arguing that black shirt was within his rights are supporting him as a person. He seems like a shitbag to me and a lot of other options should have been considered. It still matters that his rights are the same as anyone else (like a little old lady) in this situation regardless of all the stuff you're fixated on. As Branca says multiple times in his comments, if you ask the wrong questions, you get the wrong answer (with respect to whether he was legal to do what he did). |

Even if you're 100% right and justified in your position it would be smart to walk off, let things cool down, and sort it out later. No sense in shooting someone, or getting shot, when you can avoid it easily. The dude coming out with the PCC in that context was a fucking moron. The father getting in his face and turning it physical was equally stupid and he got himself killed. Even if you're right and the other person is wrong, attacking an armed dude isn't likely going to turn out well. Denying visitation in Texas is a criminal offense. Jailable criminal offense. Not civil. Not until a Judge Rules on it. That happens in... ... ... Civil (Family) Court. If a parent is violating the Court Custody Orders - the other party needs to go before the Judge in Court to present the facts (Documented) & then the Judge CAN rule to punish the offender in several different ways. Fines are typical, Arrest if it continues or fines are not paid. If other party refuses to show to present their case (misses hearings) or continues to violate the Custody Order, the Judge can issue a Arrest Warrant. However, until their IS a Arrest Warrant, no cop or deputy is going to play Perry Mason and insert himself in the matter unless the life or physical welfare of the child are at imminent risk. Wrong. I have personal experience with this. In Texas. If the child is not where they are supposed to be when they are supposed to be there, the cops will most definitely come and intervene. I won’t deny that there is a process that needs to be followed and that the cops are going to respond and arrest someone denying visitation. But they most certainly will come to investigate the situation and resolve it if possible. WRONG - I also have personal experience with this very matter in Texas. Cops "intervening" means they come out - making sure no one is getting violent or dangerous with the other parties, and then taking a report. Let's repeat that... "Taking a Report". They will not force Mommy to produce Little Timmy & Tina, nor will they lock her up. They will ask nicely and try to cajole the other party to be nice & follow the rules. But unless one of them loses it and gets violent - threatening - it is highly unlikely they will do more than make a report. That report is documentation that can be used in the CIVIL Court to address failure to by one parent to provide access to the other parent. Civil Court Matter. However, unless there is a Active Arrest Warrant (issued by a Judge for repeated failures to follow the specific orders of the Court regarding custody & visitation or support), the Police are NOT going to grab baby momma, slap handcuffs on her & stuff her in the back of a Black & White based just on Angry Dad saying "I'm supposed to have my son at 3:30 and he isn't here"!

Quoted: Please show me where in Texas law you can retrieve a firearm in the middle of a verbal dispute and not have it be deemed a threat by the other party.

She knew what she was doing. I wouldn’t be surprised if she suggested he go back outside with the gun. Ex is now dead, new man probably going to prison. All her problems are over, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she get the property after he’s locked up. |

Quoted: Why do you guys gloss over Black shirt going to get his gun because of what he thinks is trespassing, and causing this entire situation to go from a 2 straight to a 10. The introduction of the gun is a threat (an assault) on Green shirt. This whole thing was planned out.. View Quote Going to need more gun laws since you guys can't grasp such a basic concept. |

Yeah, legality aside, I'd bet if you could ask both of those guys if they regret their decisions that day, they'd both say yes.

If green shirt was carrying, would he be justified in drawing and firing once the long gun was produced and warning/ND/ whatever shot was fired?

Quoted: If green shirt was carrying, would he be justified in drawing and firing once the long gun was produced and warning/ND/ whatever shot was fired? View Quote Porportional match of force. When Black Shirt produced the rifle and fired that "warning shot" at him (that can be two violent felonies right there) it's more likely a Jury might find Green Shirt had a fear for his life. However the question of "why didn't you just leave & wait for the cops?" is the question that would be very difficult for Green Shirt to overcome in front of a Jury. But he's still be alive to be tried in court. This incident could have been the TV pilot for a reality show When Flaming Idiots Collide! Vs. |

Quoted: Hell I don't know. I'm just some random guy on the Internet talking about shit completely out of my wheelhouse. There are actual experts talking about this who know much better than I do what constitutes solid self defense and I'm here just blah, blah, blah, spouting uninformed opinions. ETA: Another poster said he's out, same here. View Quote |

Quoted: Branca looked at that and said the only context it provides is that green shirt was provoking black shirt. You're just wrong and it has been dispelled by the legal experts and posted multiple times in this thread. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Please show me where in Texas law you can retrieve a firearm in the middle of a verbal dispute and not have it be deemed a threat by the other party. Or show me where a person can escalate a situation, almost shoot the other party in the foot, then claim self defense. Just like in the Arbery case in Georgia, when presented with a lethal threat the other party is acting reasonably when they defend themselves against said threat. Carruth entered his home and emerged a moment later back onto the front porch carrying a carbine (a pistol-caliber long gun), presumably to attempt to compel Read to comply with his command to leave the property. The appearance of the carbine instead escalated the confrontation, with Read jumping up onto the front porch, leading to the two men chest-bumping each other. Read then reached for the carbine, and appears to have used the leverage of the long gun to sling Carruth several feet off his own front porch. You can't escalate a situation, make the other party feel threatened, and then claim self defense when they try to defend themselves from your actions. Even in Texas. |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: He wasn't trespassing, so all the positioning has nothing to do with it at all. He murdered a man who was legally there to pick up his kid. He's going to jail. Yes he was. When you are told to leave private property by the owner and you remain, you are trespassing. Doesn't matter why you were there. Your welcome is officially worn out. You can’t shoot trespassers, even in Texas. If green shirt had sat in the yard and said fuck you. Black shirt couldn’t have done anything about it. Yep. Trespasser has to be committing a crime. Like assault? I wish ole chad had stayed in the yard and yelled fuck you. Itd have made for a more interesting video and he’d probably be alive. Assault is definitely a crime lol. There’s probably someone here who’d argue that fact but it aint me lol. Uh , I just watched the video from the phone inside the house. Kyle shot twice ?!?! The first video that I saw didn't show that. I still say Chad was in the wrong and had no right to be there, but a liberal jury will say "He shot him twice to make sure he was dead" not "to stop the threat" Just my .02 |

View Quote If the shooter could, honest-to-God, say that he believed his life to be in danger when he took the shot, then he's a giant cunt. He may actually have feared for his life, who knows. But the legal standard is generally "would the average person have feared for his life?" I suspect the jury will say no. My pure speculation is that he shot because he was angry, not in fear for his life, and that's why he's fucked. |

Quoted: If green shirt was carrying, would he be justified in drawing and firing once the long gun was produced and warning/ND/ whatever shot was fired? View Quote Fuck no. He wasn’t supposed to be there & was told to leave. He should thrown his hands up & walked to his truck, when he saw that rifle. They weren’t on equal ground, this wasn’t public. He was in the wrong & throttled down on that- to his death. |

The majority of the arguments here are made by individuals who would require a lawyer to argue legalities in court on their behalf.
In addition to this…we will soon enough determine who is right and who is wrong in the last 48 pages of pre-law doctrine….should probably consider that as there will be plenty of folks eating crow in this thread. I no longer have time for this, I’m heading over to the Covid Forum. Meet me there? |

You can't escalate a situation, make the other party feel threatened, and then claim self defense when they try to defend themselves from your actions. Even in Texas. Texas statute says “provoke.” Escalation isn’t in the statute. A person who has a right to be present at the location where the deadly force is used, who has not provoked the person against whom the deadly force is used, and who is not engaged in criminal activity at the time the deadly force is used is not required to retreat before using deadly force as described by this section. If green shirt had sat down and told black shirt to go stick the gun up black shirt’s ass and pull the trigger till it went click, then black shirt couldn’t legally do anything except muscle him off the property or call the cops. Instead he did what he did, which ended with him getting possibly legally shot. |

Unarmed person pursues you in order (presumably) to make good on his threat. Unarmed person gets his hands on you and your legally-carried firearm. But you're the good guy, so obviously you let it fly. Only an evil murderer would shoot an unarmed man who probably thinks he's doing the right thing. Someone should tell the Rittenhouse jury they fucked up big time. |
