I can’t or won’t speak to TX law. I get that that is what he will be tried under but I know right from wrong. That shooting was wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. He very likely can make a case because of the gun grab, the refusal to leave his property, blah, blah, blah. Yep, lawyers could make a killing off both sides of this case if it happened in an expensive gated rich guy community instead of the shit box area it actually occurred.

All that aside, at the end of the day law should basically follow what reasonable people would do or think they should do. Common sense should be the foundational baseline of all law. Don't murder, don’t rob, don’t drive drink, don't insider trade, don’t, don't, don’t. Nothing about this shooting is reasonable. Instead of going inside to grab a rifle he should have grabbed a phone and called the cops. Standing there like two bantam cocks isn’t reasonable. The dead dude didn’t even know he was in a gunfight. The dude who killed him wasn’t in any danger that he couldn’t have easily avoided. Call the cops, don’t brandish a gun, don’t take two steps away and shoot him in the face.

Nothing about this shooting is ok. Which has zero to do with if it was legal. It was a bullshit avoidable unnecessary shooting fueled by rage and anger not by necessity.

Human beings are strange creatures. These folks are so dysfunctional that's it's hard to care that one idiot just murdered the other idiot. Zero sympathy for the homeowner who turned a routine argument into a fatality and even less sympathy for the bully that was too stupid to leave when the gun came out.
