15 years ago Joe Horn executed two unarmed burglars as they left his neighbor's house despite the 911 operator's repeated pleas to stay indoors and let the cops handle it. He faced zero legal repercussions and I have the feeling this guy is going to as well.

Texas says it is fine and dandy to perform vigilante homicide. We refer to this as Frank Castle Doctrine.

Let's say the autopsy shows that it wasn't the headshot but one of the first four fired that killed him, which for the sake of argument everyone agrees were justified. What's the laws take on that?

BIG-DICK-BUTT-gently caress posted:i dont see how do you draw the line between 4 shots, 8 shots, and 9 shots... That mfer is worm food either way its extremely easy, because shots 1-4 were fired rapidly into the back of a guy standing upright, which probably might qualify as self defense somehow, then 4 more were fired, after a pause in which the shooter closed distance, into a guy own on the floor, which is most probably not self defense, and shot 9 was fired point blank into the skull of an unconscious guy which is definitly not defense of any kind.

the guy ran because his social media is probably full of boomer memes talking about shooting liberals and black people. no way was that guy not doing loud, violent racisms about Obama on his facebook from when he got elected up to at least last week

Basically, you want to murder to other party because anything less means they can survive to tell the tale, which a judge/jury might realize is not actually self-defense after all. It's hosed up and it's basically 'wipe anyone who you feel threatens you even a lil' bit off the earth, don't leave survivors'

I know someone who pulled a gun and shot someone in the leg when threatened with a knife. The shooter went to prison for a couple years and even paid reparations to the guy he shot (for threatening his life). America's gun and violence laws are strange.

Mister Speaker posted:Yeah for real. Whenever I read victim statements from the family of police shooting victims, it strikes me as odd how reserved they tend to be; makes me wonder if there is some implicit threatening going on behind the scenes. Critics of police do tend to die in strange circumstances and unsolved cases. https://globalnews.ca/news/8957137/uvalde-school-shooting-police-harassment/

What's the laws take on that? 1: i don't blame the guy for not wanting to interact with the police. you should never interact with the police unless it is absolutely required and if you can avoid it do so. never talk with the police 2: i think in this situation it would be important for the police to talk to this guy. find out who he is and why he shot the guy. odds are high that it was just a random "i get to kill" type guy. but there's a chance, however small, that the kill was personal.

Murdstone posted:I guess it depends? Hard to say in this case which shot hit where and was the fatal shot, after all, probably other than that last one. This is bizarre. How can a coroner even determine the order in which the bullets entered? Unless you're shooting a body that's been dead long enough for the blood to settle, how is that possible? I remember thinking a similar question after the Sammy Yatim shooting, which I mentioned upthread as an odd case where it was determined that (IIRC) the first volley of shots killed him but the second got the pig an 'attempted murder' charge. Is it just poring over zoomed-in body camera footage for hours and guessing where each shot went? How is that at all reliable?

Yes. At the very least it is a meditated, attempted murder, but generally people do not die instantly from bullet wounds like in the movies so that situation is highly improbable.

Basically, you want to murder to other party because anything less means they can survive to tell the tale, which a judge/jury might realize is not actually self-defense after all. Ehhhh, it can kinda be self-defense (in a preemptive sense) if the other person survives and tells their friends or family that you shot them, in which case you (or in this case the restaurant) could become a target for retaliation later. Granted there's a chance of this happening if they die, too, but in that case it's a bit less likely since the person can't relay your name/physical description or the location of the shooting to someone else. Although a witness still could. Or a security camera. EDIT: Like in food service, the retaliation thing comes up from time to time because when a store or employee gets robbed, they're more likely to become a target for future robberies or retaliatory attacks. This is why it's standard practice in pizza delivery to fire a delivery driver on the spot if they ever get robbed. I. M. Gei fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Jan 11, 2023 |
