Hard to imagine him being charged. hack89 Jul 2016 #123

Easy to imagine him being charged. You keep acting like a law expert but you don't post Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2016 #130

Is "Cool headed response" a joke? nt greyl Jul 2016 #12

Or a lure. Can't decide which is a more apt description. nt hack89 Jul 2016 #13

Is lure describing your OP comment, or the shooter's tactic? nt greyl Jul 2016 #71

The violent criminal is the one who fires the shots causing injury and near-death. Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2016 #91

No. Pointing an AK-47 at someone is definitely a criminal act hack89 Jul 2016 #103

Yeah, the AK-47 guy is criminal. The idjit who provoked the gunfight & shot is a violent criminal.nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2016 #114

That poor guy with the AK-47! Everyone is picking on him. nt hack89 Jul 2016 #121

Best reply yet imo. Rex Jul 2016 #111

I don't believe for a millisecond he is going to be charged in TX. LisaL Jul 2016 #144

LOL. Keep dreaming. Rex Jul 2016 #61

You disagreeing with me deflates my sails? hack89 Jul 2016 #66

You sure do. Why do you invest such emotion in this forum? Rex Jul 2016 #68

texas law on self defense melm00se Jul 2016 #124

How is being the aggressor in this situation self defense? Rex Jul 2016 #135

In TX, he has a right to use deadly force to defend property. LisaL Jul 2016 #127

Anybody's property, or his own. Plus, you can carry a confederate flag by law, but should you. Hoyt Jul 2016 #152

Following is not illegal. He could have left it at that. Provoking a violent gunfight is illegal. nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2016 #95

Even if there are no criminal charges, the shooter left himself liable for civil charges. procon Jul 2016 #86

Self defense does not require you ManiacJoe Jul 2016 #34

The customer was no longer in danger and followed the perp outside and shot him. Rex Jul 2016 #37

The customer claims he feared for his arriving wife. Statistical Jul 2016 #42

He said she said. Rex Jul 2016 #46

He is only liable in your mind. Statistical Jul 2016 #52

Yeah we shall see. Rex Jul 2016 #54

Maybe you missed the fact that this happened in TX. LisaL Jul 2016 #99

I live in Texas and maybe he will be and maybe not. Rex Jul 2016 #101

Cops have a MANDATE to follow & confront criminals. Wanna-be 'heroes' do NOT. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2016 #96

He didn't need a mandate. LisaL Jul 2016 #119

Yes, only in the sense that nobody needs a mandate to commit a crime and shoot somebody. Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2016 #125

It was not illegal to follow and confront the robber. hack89 Jul 2016 #67

Show us the law that agrees with your assessment, you won't be able to find it. Rex Jul 2016 #70

Good grief ... can you believe the responses here? Auggie Jul 2016 #82

We do have a lot of wannabe cowboys here in Texas, they dream of being the hero Rex Jul 2016 #84

So the customer shot a man fleeing the restaurant, every cowboy's dream. George Zimmerman Hoyt Jul 2016 #75

He wasn't fleeing when he was shot. He was pointing a rifle (a scary black rifle at that) Statistical Jul 2016 #80

That's what the cowboy said, as he was obviously trained. George Zimmerman did the same, Hoyt Jul 2016 #151

Urban cowboys and their guns. Rex Jul 2016 #85

Alternatively matt819 Jul 2016 #78

^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^. NT angrychair Jul 2016 #87

That was my first thought, "so why not call the wife and tell her to stay away." Rex Jul 2016 #88

Maybe he didn't have a cell phone. LisaL Jul 2016 #104

Right, he has a firearm but not a cell phone. Rex Jul 2016 #109

That's immaterial Auggie Jul 2016 #115

You must have missed the part of the article that says perp robbed several customers. LisaL Jul 2016 #116

Right and they were no longer in any danger, sadly the customer had to walk outside Rex Jul 2016 #122

Liable for what? LisaL Jul 2016 #128

Shooting someone, do you think you just can run around and shoot someone when you feel like it? Rex Jul 2016 #131

Did he run around and shot someone when he felt like it? LisaL Jul 2016 #133

Uh yes he did...he walked outside and shot the guy that robbed the place. Are you taking about Rex Jul 2016 #134

Shooting the guy who robbed the place isn't the same as running around shooting people because he LisaL Jul 2016 #143

But he did feel like it, he made a choice to escalate the situation into a gun fight. The customer. Rex Jul 2016 #148

... Crepuscular Jul 2016 #161

He had left the restaurant treestar Jul 2016 #98

Yet. But if you can't trust an AK-47 wielding criminal, who can you trust? nt hack89 Jul 2016 #110

We are supposed to trust the guy who provoked a gunfight and shot someone near to death? No. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Jul 2016 #141

Guns make people stupid. Rex Jul 2016 #117

... Crepuscular Jul 2016 #162

Wouldn't it be ironic if the customer faced charges? TheCowsCameHome Jul 2016 #106

Agreed. As I noted in another response, the concept of self-defense (and defense of property) is... TwilightZone Jul 2016 #158

Do any reporters know how to write logically? tblue37 Jul 2016 #126

Somebody on life support could recover. LisaL Jul 2016 #132

Yes, I know. My brother did. But the language is jarring coming as it tblue37 Jul 2016 #139

That will be one robber. Scattered, smothered, and covered. n/t jtuck004 Jul 2016 #145

Sounds like he "bushwhacked" him in the parking lot. Cryptoad Jul 2016 #150
