HOUSTON HERO SHOOTER

It is what gooberment does to force citizens to not defend themselves. Houston has a Soros funded DA as well.

yeah...I am doubting a conviction, even with a shithead Soros DA with a finger on the scale.

So a Soros DA only wants to prosecute people like our restaurant hero.

A grand jury will decide whether an armed taqueria customer, who shot and killed a robber last week in southwest Houston and is now being hailed a hero, will be criminally charged.


Irrelevant. The Texas Penal Code says the DA calling this grand jury can go frick himself.

Unless there was a paper trail.... receipts, video footage, eyewitnesses, he should have never came forward.

Just some weird circumstances here. I think had he just shot him with all the rounds at once...he would be fine.

had he stopped shooting after he disarmed the guy...he would be fine.

had he stuck around...he probably would be fine.

I think he will probably still be fine, he just made some missteps imo

are we about to have another Kyle Rittenhouse case? a-hole government prosecutor trying to lock up a person who had reasonable cause to fear for their life.

A retard walks into a restaurant, pulls out a gun-no one knew it was fake-and proceeds to rob customers. shooting was justified in my opinion. good riddance. screw that DA.

That's not what the Texas Penal Code says.

The Texas Penal Code is 100% going to have an issue with, at least, the last shot to the dome that occurred while holding the fake gun of the person he had just gotten done defending himself against.

You people just don't have the capacity to be objective.

Nope. Rittenhouse was defending himself during all of his shots.

This dude will end up pleading guilty to manslaughter at the advice of his public defender.

Apparently the shooter fired two shots. Perp down. Shooter takes gun then fires another shot into perp on floor. Then he apparently left the scene.

So the shooter did kinda go too far. It's still bull$hit, but in this day, I would be very careful and follow law to the T when using a personal firearm. Don't know what judge your are going to get.

I’m not sure if Texas has a comparable pr mirroring statute, but Louisiana law provides that what appears to have been an armed robbery is not an armed robbery if the perp was ultimately not using a real firearm or something else that could be deemed a dangerous weapon.

Synopsis: at least in Louisiana, fake gun = no “armed” robbery.

And I’m sure someone will take offense to this, but I’m not even the slightest “taking the side of” the perp. Only intending to add potentially relevant context and info. Texas may not even have any similar law. But states often do tend to “copy” one another in such ways.

Jury nullification was preached during the OJ trial on a lot of networks.

I can see that happening. the DA will probably pile on a few more charges to rack up the years if this does go to trial.

Records show Washington had an extensive criminal history and was out on bond during the would-be robbery.

Records show that in 2015, Washington was convicted on a lesser charge of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and sentenced to 15 years in prison in connection to the shooting death of 62-year-old Hamid Waraich, a cell phone store owner. Houston police also charged two other men.

According to records, Washington was released on parole in 2021 and charged with assaulting his girlfriend in December 2022


He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time

Jury nullification


It's getting common.

It happened in the Michael Sussman trial last year.

I hope but the fact remains you use your weapon in self defense chances are extremely high you have to hire a lawyer.

What an infringement of our 2nd Amendment rights.

Succession is the only answer.

We keep the Constitution and live by it.

He was being humane or he thought the robber was an aikido warrior.

Let's see...

quote:

Sec. 9.31. SELF-DEFENSE. (a) Except as provided in Subsection (b), a person is justified in using force against another when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect the actor against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful force. The actor's belief that the force was immediately necessary as described by this subsection is presumed to be reasonable if the actor:

(1) knew or had reason to believe that the person against whom the force was used:

(A) unlawfully and with force entered, or was attempting to enter unlawfully and with force, the actor's occupied habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment;

(B) unlawfully and with force removed, or was attempting to remove unlawfully and with force, the actor from the actor's habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment; or

(C) was committing or attempting to commit aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery;


There's no wiggle-room here. The criminal was in the process of committing aggravated robbery and that is covered by 9.31. Anyone who expects someone to shoot to wound in such a scenario is a MMQB'ing idiot. You shoot until the target is dead because in the heat of the moment you don't know:

-IF you hit them
-How well you may have hit them
-What drugs they may be on to temporarily shrug off any possible wounds and come after you again (yes, it happens)

This grand jury is a dog and pony show.
