WTF? Texas homeowner kills 2 who asked about roosters [View all] cali Nov 2013 OP

Moar guns. nt onehandle Nov 2013 #1

More like a legitimate self defense shooting. Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #3

Says the person who did the killing. Cali_Democrat Nov 2013 #7

Says the peliminary info. so far. Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #9

Dead men tell no tales. n/t Cali_Democrat Nov 2013 #11

Forensic and physical evidence does though. Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #12

And what was the conclusion of the forensic pathologist and the detectives? Cali_Democrat Nov 2013 #18

No idea, the investigation has just begun. Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #22

lol. more nonsense. lots of people aren't arrested right away who are guilty cali Nov 2013 #31

Of course I'm assuming he's innocent, Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #34

FWIW, it took weeks of national media pressure before Zimmerman's arrest... Blue_Tires Nov 2013 #104

Ranchemp defending another murderer? Color me shocked. EOTE Nov 2013 #43

EOTE declaring someone a murderer before the investigation is complete? Color me shocked. Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #47

You've said that preliminary (that's how you spell it, btw) information suggests he's innocent. EOTE Nov 2013 #56

Thank you for continuing to prove my point made in post 52. nt. eqfan592 Nov 2013 #60

I'm afraid you haven't come close to making a point as of yet. EOTE Nov 2013 #64

Wow, so much fail is so little time. Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #61

Yeah, you must be so busy with your law enforcement work. EOTE Nov 2013 #62

Ooooh, now the insults. Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #67

Yeah, the insults. EOTE Nov 2013 #68

Ok. Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #70

When upholding the ideal of "innocent until proven guilty" equates with... eqfan592 Nov 2013 #52

Uhhh, you do know that internet posters are not a court of law? EOTE Nov 2013 #59

I didn't realize basic ethical principles were only valid or necessary in a court of law. eqfan592 Nov 2013 #66

The presumption of innocence is a legal term. EOTE Nov 2013 #74

So because he isn't willing to call him guilty, then he is a right wing authoritarian... eqfan592 Nov 2013 #85

No, because he's willing to say it's self defense while knowing nothing of the case. EOTE Nov 2013 #86

He's saying until further evidence is provided, he is innocent until proven guilty in his book eqfan592 Nov 2013 #88

Really? You're a mind reader or something? Or perhaps part of the crew? EOTE Nov 2013 #89

Try reading the VERY NEXT POST HE MADE. eqfan592 Nov 2013 #91

The preliminary information provided by the killer? EOTE Nov 2013 #94

Two people flashing guns at somebody isn't justifiable to you? eqfan592 Nov 2013 #97

Again, we're solely talking about the killer's words here. EOTE Nov 2013 #98

That's exactly what I'm saying, Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #90

say what? what the heck does "flashed" guns even mean? cali Nov 2013 #10

Flashing guns usually means that the weapon was deployed Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #15

bullshit. make crap up much? cali Nov 2013 #24

It's a common LEO term. Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #28

you provide no links. sorry your word doesn't cut it. cali Nov 2013 #33

As I said, it's a common LEO term, Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #36

I always thought it just meant revealing it maxsolomon Nov 2013 #35

Not always, Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #37

LEOs need to get it together maxsolomon Nov 2013 #39

So two guys flash guns mikeysnot Nov 2013 #44

See post #30. Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #53

It's quite obvious that a killer will always claim self defense. Vashta Nerada Nov 2013 #92

Of course, Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #95

The headline makes it sound like the homeowner shot the 2 because Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #2

The story and the headline don't quite match up. davepc Nov 2013 #4

what does "flashed" guns mean? witnesses? why were the bodies found where they were cali Nov 2013 #13

Not sure what the location of the bodies has to do with whether or not it was self defense hack89 Nov 2013 #20

ludicrous scenario. yeah, sure two gunmen intent on robbery are going to let cali Nov 2013 #25

Could be, Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #17

now that makes sense. cali Nov 2013 #14

There is big money in cockfighting hack89 Nov 2013 #16

That was my first thought too, and it seems reasonable, except that petronius Nov 2013 #19

"Trevino says the roosters were apparently fighting cocks." Go Vols Nov 2013 #76

roosters have utility beyond cockfighting, and they're quite common in texas. unblock Nov 2013 #23
