Jeebus son. Watch the entire video. ex law enforcement said yep it was a clean shoot, when someone can’t defend themselves a bystander and pop the perp. Leaving the scene was a no no but likely he’ll slide

Learn how laws work in TX. You can (per the expert) if you feel perp is still a threat. Gun in hand after committing a violent crime would be textbook definition of still a threat. And he did.

Your a freaking idiot and part of the reason criminals thrive with that kind of thinking. If more vermin knew this was a consequence there would be less robberies!

I actually believe that if the violent thief had not broken the law then they would not have had to order a hearse to carry him off that night.

I just went through a license to carry class here in Houston and this stuff is all you talk about. Technically, this guy left himself open to charges. Should that be the case?....Absolutely not. Is it very possible?....Unfortunately yes. Pass by this area every workday. Witnessed shooting at 6 :30 am about 8 years ago around there. Not stopping for gas there without guns drawn.
But anything is possible. They let the Taqueria guy off. And that one was super pushing the line from a legal sketch stance. Perfectly okay to shoot. But if I recall, the last execution shot after the guy was down and clear, plus the leaving the scene made it an easy target for legal questioning. And they let that one go. So here's hoping.

Perp running left to right. Only gave him a cross section of his body. Seconds to take up a good stance and aim. Incredible shot.
Gas station: All of our security film has been corrupted. Sorry.

Absolutely. Hey, if you want to take a chance of significant jail time by playing hero.....then more power to you. I truly hope it works out for the best. But the reasoning some in this thread have of "well he was probably going to do it again at some point" is not, has never been, and never will be justification of shooting someone.

There's definitely some cases from Texas that have gone either direction. But don't put your freedom into the hands of corrupt DA's and Judges.

Was he running at someone at the time of the shooting or running away?
There are people in any direction you run in a city. Would he have interacted with them? Who knows.
He’s a criminal with a firearm in his hand, and he just used it 3 seconds before he was shot.
If my family is in the direction he is running I’m choosing the Good Samaritan make the chance my family stays safe 100% over pankReb’s feeling on tigerdroppings.

Just a hypothetical: I'm all for the results of the shooting, but what if the shooter missed and it hit someone else?

The OT has lost the plot. Y’all really want the law to allow the summary execution of thieves leaving the scene of an armed robbery?

Gunspoint was a shithole 15Y ago when i lived in the H. Good to see its still living up to its name.

Because he's black. But that guy was running away. If the shooter were white, we'd already have had riots and a holiday for that idiot.

i've stopped at the gas station many times because it is in the heart of my old sales territory. Had a couple of good customers ~ a block way.
It's one of the least hood gas stations in the area but that is low bar.

I like to think that they didn't blur the guy until he was dead. He is alive and you can see the moment he died, it was fine to show him running half a second before but the instant he died, they decided it was not ok to show a dead person.

It’s one of the ways the breakdown of society is manifesting on the right.
People are fed up with the way the powers that be seem to be going soft on crime committed by certain people, and this is a reaction to that.
I’m starting to realize that most people come to their conclusions based on desired outcomes rather than on principles.
