watch both versions for the more of the incident, neither charged yet, may go before a grand jury to decide charges. Not for sensitive viewers.
Problem is what justifiably threatened is. I could fully believe someone permanently terrified as most Texans would be hence the amount of guns. Then you add a trigger and the following adrenaline then to them it is very much a justified response to empty your gun into someone.Not debating the morality of whether this is right or wrong.
Legally, in the UK, this is excessive use of force. This type of incident is why some (including soldiers in conflict zones) are arrested, tried and imprisoned.
If you genuinely feel threatened (and can justify why you feel threatened) you can strike first; but once a threat is no longer a threat, you have to stop. Even if the adrenaline is pumping.
I've watched too many movies where the shot baddie is never fully dead & survives or returns to be a PITA...........better emptying the gun to make sure ........ that & folk running up stairs away from danger WTFNot debating the morality of whether this is right or wrong.

In Texas the law allows use of force to RECOVER property, he doesn't even need to prove self defense according to the statutes. Very few, if any other US states are like this.
It's easy to sit here and watch and say the guy was headed for the door, he should have stopped shooting when he was down, but this happened in a blur to the people there.
The deceased was out on parole from a 15 year sentence from a robbery/murder of a cell phone store clerk in 2015, along with two others.

The UK has historically been a reasonably safe place without the population carrying guns for personal safety or deterrent.In Texas the law allows use of force to RECOVER property, he doesn't even need to prove self defense according to the statutes. Very few, if any other US states are like this.
