This is another case in a wanna be charging into a situation who does not have proper training and just because he held a gun gives him a right to go out and kill someone. This needs to be punished to the fullest. He had plenty of opportunity to allow proper handling of this situation, he chose not to do so. He had time during the time he was video taping to take flight but apparently wanted to "use his gun" though not a wise decision. He needs to go down.

He's not claiming stand your ground metalbot Jun 2012 #5

You're splitting hairs. He used the "standing my ground" claim to justify to 911 pnwmom Jun 2012 #9

Him saying it doesn't make it law. 4th law of robotics Jun 2012 #6

No, it doesn't. It's merely a "claim." Unfortunately, even if he is wrong pnwmom Jun 2012 #7

Right, but him being an idiot doesn't mean that the law in general is wrong 4th law of robotics Jun 2012 #11

The law is poorly written if too many people misunderstand it to think shootings pnwmom Jun 2012 #13

The law is pretty clear: 4th law of robotics Jun 2012 #17

It is not clear to the many people who are defending him on the basis of SYG. pnwmom Jun 2012 #19

The many people? 4th law of robotics Jun 2012 #20

Would you be willing to pull the switch on him? You have already convicted and sentenced him. oneshooter Jun 2012 #28

Rodriguez convicted his victim of excessive noise and then shot him to death. pnwmom Jun 2012 #31

So the fact he chose to shoot firemen.... dixiegrrrrl Jun 2012 #24

That is something I had not considered sarisataka Jun 2012 #25

Good question. He had some kind of gripe with the department, pnwmom Jun 2012 #29

Excellent question. dixiegrrrrl Jun 2012 #30

Texas penal code has rules for loud music, the police should have been call to have this handled. Thinkingabout Jun 2012 #21

I agree he was at fault. He did call 911 about the loud music, but they didn't get there pnwmom Jun 2012 #22

It's clear he was just some paranoid, passive-aggressive with some serious maturity/anger issues Blue_Tires Jun 2012 #27

I'd said in the other thread that it was pretty soft for "loud" music... Blue_Tires Jun 2012 #26

In fact, the police had already investigated Raul's noise complaint, and decided to take no action. pnwmom Jun 2012 #32
