This is a Murder case.
Is it? Clearly the bigger angry guy reached for his gun. I’m sure he believed that if the guy took his weapon he would kill him with it. He evidently reasonably feared for his life in that moment and that’s why he shot. Looks about as much like self defense as the last couple of times it’s been pled in some high profile cases.

Both of those guys are fucking retarded. Screaming right up in each other’s faces with the rifle pointed at who knows what. They’re lucky the lady didn’t get shot, or the kid they they were fighting over.

Saw a blurb of this on a news channel, and I thought the little guy was married to the mother ... or were they just living together with her child and the big guy was the estranged husband and father of the child?

Seemed like the big guy was one of these types who bully smaller guys.

35 cent termination proceeding as far as the child is concerned ,.... or did he shoot 2x?

This is Texas. He'll probably be found not guilty if they charge him. I don't know the whole story, but I have a feeling the bigger guy has threatened the smaller guy a million times. And wouldn't be surprised if the bigger guy beat his ass a few times before because the smaller one stuck his nose where it doesn't belong because he is not the child's father. Without knowing the history between the two men, I can't say whether it was self-defense or if homeboy was just sick of the biological father's alpha male bullshit and saw an opportunity and he took it.

Anyway, those two dipshit biological parents obviously don't believe in my #1 rule in coparenting which is to leave everybody out of our business, and we handle everything amicably just between the two of us. They obviously didn't believe in my #1 rule because there is a dumb motherfucker coming outside with a rifle and a stupid bitch sitting in the car filming it... neither one of those idiots should have even been involved IMO. It should have been left between the biological parents unless that guy has a history of domestic violence. And if that's the case, you make the drop-off exchanges at the police station if she has a genuine concern for her safety.
... Hmmmm...

Although it is hard to determine from the video view what the ex-husband was doing to place the husband in fear of his life to warrant the use of deadly force.
... Kinda agree-with Noir here. ... Would like to see video
of the whole shooting and before.

Lol. Ok
... Well, then we'd KNOW... The legal issue.

According to the laws there, you have a right to
possess a weapon. If another fellow tries to take
the gun from you and threatens to kill you with it...

Surely seems like "self defence" to me.

the boyfriend reacted in a harsh manner by going in and getting his rifle. but he was within his rights to do so. and once the ex-husband got uppity and got in the boyfriend's face he made himself the aggressor. and when he grabbed at the rifle he became a threat.


some people in comments on uboobie claim the boyfriend firing a warning shot at the ground somehow revoked his right to self defense. no, on the contrary it enhanced it.


he gave the ex-husband a chance back off and he didn't. he became the aggressor. one of the contentions those idiot prosecutors in the rittenhouse trial made, that fat fucktard idiot with a burr haircut, was that rittenhouse didn't have the right to shoot even while being assaulted, he blabbered some stupid shit about "ya gotta take a beating every once in a while ..". what an idiot. that's when the law clearly says you can use deadly force.


while this shouldn't have escalated to the point it did, it's self defense.
