Phucked around and found out thread. Stories of dirtbags doing dirtbag things and taking dirtnaps or finding out the reward isnt as they thought.

Your and ogt's attitude is why this "attitude" towards a man doing the right thing could bring harm to himself at the hands of the system that should PROTECT him.

Police shouldn't replace you doing what needs to be done, they should be there to help you. If you aren't willing to shoot someone if they need shooting why call someone to do it for you?

My "attitude" toward this is curiosity and a genuine interest to learn what/how Texas law will be applied.

My personal belief that I don't want to kill a person over "stuff" is my own personal belief. Other people have no qualms with killing someone over stealing a TV... that is their right, and I would not tell them they are wrong.

I alone have to live with my actions, as does each other individual.

I detest thieves... I enjoy it when they get caught. Or, if they are armed, I like it when they are taken out. I personally believe "porch pirates" should be beaten badly enough to spend a few weeks in a hospital, preferrably in traction.

I don't know all the details of this story, but if it was simply someone stealing a backyard barbeque grill, then (in my own personal opinion) chasing him down and shooting him was excessive force.
Chase him down, hold him at gunpoint, if he moves for a weapon of some kind, drop him like a hot rock. This may very well be what happened... I don't know.

Except 9.42 talks about in the nighttime, and the grill was not stolen in the nighttime, and the owner chased and hunted down the thief in the daylight. Do you have another section of the penal code that says you chase and hunt down and kill a thief in the daytime?

I know the Texas Penal Code, and I work in the court system and I see how juries react. Juries do not like vigilantes. Just a fact.

According to the story, he fired on the thief when he he was confronted with what he reasonably believed was deadly force. You would do well to delve into the nuances of what constitutes deadly force in Texas as well.

From the article

“Deputies were dispatched to the 15000 block of Ralston Road at approximately 5:58 a.m. due to a shooting.”

So the grill was stolen before sun up, thus making it night time.


Where did you read that the owner chased the thief down in daylight?

That is what it sounds like. The BBQ owner might be no-billed after all... sounds almost cut and dried.... especially if the thief made a move like he was going for a weapon.

Well, 5:58 am IS morning.

 

[Eastexasrick]

The dark part of the morning, that time of year.

 

[thescoutranch]

The Texas code I looked at 9.42 does use the word “night time”, my assumption is night time would be from sundown to sun up, but that is an assumption. I wonder what the courts or DA will rule nighttime to be.

Does anyone know if night time has been defined somewhere in the Texas code? Or by courts?

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Something like 30 minutes after sundown, to 30 minutes before sunrise.

So, you are not fully aware of the factual truth?
Was it the Houston Chronicle you read?

1GunTX,

Have you come to this site as a 'Missionary' in order to teach us 'knuckle draggers' how to behave?

Sorry old boy, (ah, ok, I'm guessing about your gender) but your self appointed task is akin to 'shoveling sand against the tide'...

Please consider another site like 'blm', it'd be a better fit.

Homeowners vs criminals: How the Stand Your Ground Law can be ‘murky’ for gunowners in Texas

Criminals are usually taking a big risk invading the properties of Texas homeowners as law protects them to stand their ground -- by any means.

Glad the “attorney” in that article was named. That is not an attorney I would want representing me.

 

[msharley]

We shall see which one of us is right. The owner will either be charged or indicted or not.

If? I were to sit on that Grand Jury?

I would ask to check the "box" that awards the home owner a CASE of AMMO!

Pox on thievery.

That really is an anomaly. Gila venom is really not that potent
