Excellent point. This man had no legal standing to be holding the other in a choke hold that eventually killed the guy.
Vigilante looks like a typical thug that thinks he can do no wrong.

I do too. I also read that the deputy (wife) was threatening people who were filming that they were going to jail.

When I watched the video for the umpteenth time, it seemed that that particular threat was coming from the daughter, who somehow found it necessary to put her tiny boobs right into the viewfinder of the camera....
After looking at more articles and such, I agree it was excessive, aside from the law, it broke the whole street code thing about fighting.
I am not familiar with Texas laws on the charges, because I am thinking murder may be a bit high of a bar to get a conviction on, versus a lesser charge. I do not think they intended to kill him, but I do believe they clearly went beyond the legal self defense, to illegal offense.
I am still wondering about the events before, how true they were. On a sided note; bothered by urinating? Really? Rule of conflict resolution is to avoid it in the first place. Urinating is hardly an issue to confront someone over (because the high likelihood of it escalating), versus calling the police and/or notifying the restaurant manager.
I'm not a lawyer and will leave what charges will stick to the courts to sort out. What I do know is a guy died needlessly. Those people were out of control. I wonder if they were drunk?
So guy is peeing in the parking lot and says loudly as your daughter passes by, "I need someone to hold this."
You reply, "Mind your own business."
You keep walking and he starts approaching quickly saying he's about to kick off our ass and have some fun with your daughter.
You turn around and he swings at you making contact but not hurting you. Now, he begins taking another swing.
Not everyone is going to flee into Denny's leaving his daughter outside.
None of that makes murder OK. Sorry. And in front of your children...wow.
There are better ways to handle these kind of instances, and a guy's throat in your hands is not it.
