UPDATE: Texas EZ Trip Shooting Of Drunk

[gejohnston]

157. I read it, and I read the original article.

One thing.

2007 Stand Your Ground law which "abolishes the duty to retreat if the defendant can show he: (1) had a right to be present at the location where deadly force was used; (2) did not provoke the person against whom deadly force was used; and (3) was not engaged in criminal activity at the time deadly force was used,"

not relevant because the shooter retreated. Let me repeat The shooter retreated to the parking lot.

Police said the man, who was in his 30s, walked into EZ Trip Food Store shortly before 4 p.m. and slapped a customer across the face. He chased the customeroutside before walking back inside the store and hitting another customer.

The fight continued outside, where the second customer pulled out a handgun and shot the man, police said. The man stumbled back inside the store before being taken to Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas, where he was pronounced dead. Police did not release his name Thursday.

Of course, if the witnesses disagreed with your preconceived view, they would be blood thirsty rednecks. I'll take the police full investigation, thank you.
