They also had the responsibility to retreat since they were on public property and not being blocked from leaving so they can be held responsible for his death.


LOL.
You don't spit into the wind.
You don't pull on Superman's cape.
You don't angrily throw a baseball bat anywhere near two armed men, 'specially after you've threatened to kill them several times.

Idiots abound.
No one is innocent in that mess.
I have no sympathy for any of them and that includes the stupid wife.

At least in the old west, they were gentlemen enough in stand downs to hand the other guy a gun.
It was considered murder even back then to shoot an unarmed man.
These two turds probably creamed their pants when he tossed the bat their way since it gave them a green light to get a free kill.

This is not self defense. They had every opportunity to walk away from this situation and handle it differently. A guy yelling at them at a dumpster in an alley, an area that these 2 do not own, is not a legit threat to kill someone.

They belong in prison.

As for the guy who got shot...not a very bright man, was he. These 2 told him repeatedly that if he got close to them, they would shoot him. Believe them.

But, again, it's not self defense.

It goes to show you that the media shows only what they want you to see and tells you only what they want you to know. This has been proven time and time again.

Too many people allow the media to "educate" them not understanding that many times they have an agenda to push.

The orange shirt guy told them to "put the gun up and go inside". That is not a threat, it's him telling them to back off and they had that opportunity to do so. They had plenty of time to back off, but they kept telling him that they were going to shoot him, which of course made him angrier, and that's when he started talking about how he would kill them.

Before all of that stupidity, however, they had ample opportunity to walk away from the confrontation.

And all of this over a mattress.

IMO it's absolutely murder. But it's Texas. They may look like they star in Deliverance but everything about that video screams Texas including the cause, which was a mattress found in a dumpster. These two got bail at only $25K each.

The fattest one will probably be elected mayor, because Texas.

Such a sad, pathetic situation. Whelp, at least two more guntards will be going to prison to spend the rest of their natural lives.

Oh wait, Texas.
