Came in to say that. That’s 100% correct. God bless America 🇺🇸🫡

As a general rule of thumb, if you are on someone else’s property and they tell you leave, whether it’s a business or a private residence, leave.

He not only refused to leave but started threatening the property owner and tussling with him after he got his gun.

Dude died unnecessarily, over something really, really stupid. Glad that the laws in America, and particularly in states like Texas, are based on reason, humanist enlightenment principles and human rights.

This is a foreign concept to me. But I guess the idea is that it’s your property, you tell people to leave.

This isn’t some random man, coming and starting a fight, it was a father looking for his kid.

It doesn’t give you the right to enter someone else’s property and stay there when they tell you to leave.

That’s when you go the legal route instead of getting shot in the fucking chest.

No, he was using the kid as an excuse to get in that dude's face. He could have called the police and they'd get his kid back. But this guy clearly had an ego/anger issue. He's waaaaaaay too comfortable being that out of control with a loaded gun pointed at him.

It really doesn’t matter if the guy was a stranger or not. The situation had clearly escalated to screams and threats. Even if the guy who got shot was his child or a family member the principles would be the same.

Perhaps it’s because I carry a gun on me at all times and I teach this shit, but this makes a ton of sense to me. If things are escalating and quickly approaching violence, and if there’s a tool of deadly force around, whether in your hands or the hands of another, you disengage.

I respect people’s property, and if they ask me to leave I leave, no matter how I feel about their decision. I try to avoid violent altercations. This whole thing strikes me as super dumb and completely avoidable.

I’m sympathetic to the guy, this is about his kid. But his kid is not better off with him dead, his kid is worse off now, and it could have been avoided if he didn’t threaten a guy with a gun after he told him clearly to leave his property.

He had other avenues to dispute and resolve this without fighting some armed guy on his property.

Can you imagine what impact this video would have had in court if he showed how the step dad pulled a gun on him when he was trying to see his kid?

Imagine if he had retreated and tried to use the footage against him and the mom in court. He could have gained custody of the kid easily, or at least have a fighting chance. Like I already said, I’m sympathetic to the dad and I think this was a needless death.

But the second the dude escalated the issue once he was asked to leave (which was legally binding at that point) and continued to threaten and escalate the issue after a gun was drawn he went well beyond the realm of what is acceptable, reasonable and smart. He was in full retard territory and he is the main reason his son is now an orphan.

Actuallyyyyyy if would have only fucked him in a custody case. The video shows him getting violent and attempting to grab the gun. If you are on someone else's property and you are told to leave and you don't the home owner has all rights to defend their home. The father would have looked like a fool to the judge and been told that he should have handled it in court.

What I am trying to say is that if he had not gotten violent or attempted to grab the gun he would have solid footage he could use against the property owner and his former wife.

Instead, the guy decided to “keep it real” and now his kid is an orphan.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean the shotgun guy didn't commit a crime here. I still think they should try to charge him.

Thanks for being intellectually honest. Few people openly admit errors like that. Award coming for the sincerity.

Ps: that’s not a shotgun. I’m pretty sure is a Ruger Carbine chambered in 9mm because I own one and it looks and sounds identical.

I was very torn over all of this, coming from NJ my initial reaction was, yea that guys an idiot thats 100% manslaughter at the very least, you def doing time. Then I remembered this is the real world and lets make sure what the laws are in this state because ive had to learn that the hard way before. Sad to say this was legal and no charges will be filed, morally I think that was an ego battle and guns have absolutely 0 business being involved in your ego, but at the same time regardless of whats right wrong or any grey area in life, you play stupid games you win stupid prizes. Flip off a Nazi wearing the star of david in 1944 Germany, get shot. Same premise.

Im not sad it was legal for a guy to use deadly force to protect himself against someone threatening him and trespassing in his property.

Im sad the dude’s kid is gonna grow up without a father because of the incident, but the fact that the law is the way it is doesn’t bother me at all, I’m actually a big fan of the principle and application of the law.

And yes, while I disagree with the comparison to Nazis -since they were big enemies of rights, specifically property rights- this is a big reminder that getting in the face of someone who is armed on their own property is not going to lead to a good outcome. It’s a stupid move and I also agree it was mostly driven by ego and the fact that both men fucked the same woman.

Ive googled it and i still cant figure out the difference between a shotgun and a ruger carbine. I know guns like i know cars: i dont at all.

I'm guessing theyre both equally lethal but one has a bigger spread so youre more likely to die from it. Any idea?

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

The carbine is a rifle length barrel but shoots standard pistol ammunition. In this case the ruger is chambered in 9mm.

The shotgun can shoot a variety of different shells, from bird shot (small pellets, wide spread and unlikely to kill a human at mid range), to buckshot (larger pellets, narrower spread, likely to kill you) to slugs (a big projectile that takes a pound of your flesh and throws it far away).

The 9mm carbine is significantly less powerful than a shotgun, and is only shooting pistol calibers even though it looks like a scary aSSauLt wEaPoN.

Well really the main aspect of this shooting that makes it a "legal" shooting so to speak is the fact that you can see in both videos that the man invading on the property tried to take the owner's weapon out of his hand, which gave him authorization to use lethal force. I know every state is different and considering that this is in Texas is probably is acceptable to shoot anyone who comes on your property uninvited but in some states the threshold for lethal force varies and it's not completely acceptable to shoot and ask questions later everywhere which can be very misleading.

Yes you can defend your home (especially w/ Texas laws...) but for crying out loud, let the father have his weekend with his son!

You're 100% correct, but why bring a rifle outside? Ffs, just let the dad pick up his son and everybody can go about their respective weekends.

Understandable, but doesn’t change the fact that the was technically trespassing and then got aggressive with an armed man.

His custody issue should have been handled through the legal process, not through a screaming match while trespassing.

While he has my sympathies, I don’t feel sorry for him. He made a stupid decision and chose the worst time and manner to make his objection heard and paid with his life.

His ex’ new man did nothing wrong, and I’m glad Texas objective self-defense laws recognized that.

I disagree. That man is apart of with holding the man he killed from seeing his son.

In my opinion, the guy in blue shit should have killed the man in cold blood. Taking a man’s child is dramatically worse than trespassing. I’d say the woman and that man should have lost their lives.

I think I understand what you said there though, and yes, if someone invited me to their home and then told me to leave I would for sure leave. I wouldn’t argue with them over it and if they pulled out a gun the chances of me getting in their face would decrease, not increase.

If you are suggesting that the man was entitled to threaten and assault the other guy in his house because he is now fucking his former wife then yes, you are for sure the one using a standard that is completely arbitrary and emotion-driven. You don’t have a right to behave this way in other peoples homes because you are salty your woman left you for them.

99.9% when normal people talk, they talk about what is "right" not only from a law POV but also from a moral POV, practical POV..etc

So if the law in Texas changed so that women should be stoned to death if they stopping her ex-husband to to visit his children, do you still stand by the law 100%?

Based on the details that the killed man was denied by his ex-wife to see his child ILLEGALLY, the main reason behind he being killed is not because of his emotion, but because he is not "vicious "enough (or some may say practical) .

If he really want to get back to his children he should find a way to sue the shit out of his ex wife and her man, instead of going there to "reason" with them, when they are ready to kill him.
