From now on, He is gonna be "the guy that shot that guy"... and he has to live with it.

Plenty of blame to go around, but nobody should have died here at that point.

I’m actually very surprised by a lot of the comments on this thread. Regardless of anyones “feelings”, the facts are the dead guy (he’s not a victim since this is not a crime) was asked and told repeatedly to leave the property of the man defending his property, Long before the firearm was brought into this situation. The dead guy was verbally and physically showing further escalation and irritation. When the homeowner came out of his home with a firearm the dead guy actually came towards him and further threatened him ON HIS PROPERTY; before attempting to take HIS PROPERTY AWAY FROM HIM ON HIS PROPERTY. Looking at the video it’s clear as glass, The man was defending his property against a very real threat.

If the dead guy truly felt his son was there and had the right to get him he should have called the police like his ex-wife was on the phone doing.

Im with you 100%. I believe there is a thread in PACE as well and I posted almost the same thing. To me it doesn't matter what happened before or after, the facts are Man A asked Man B to leave his property, Man B didn't leave, Man A got a gun and asked again, Man B not only didn't leave but tried to take the gun and got shot. Man B should have left and called police if he truly believed his kid was there or needed help from a custody standpoint.

A whole lot of stupid all around. Being a divorced dad, I know things can get crazy but Man B should have left until police showed up.

There's a lot of assumption being thrown around here. None of us knows why the father was trying so hard to get his son. Maybe he was just being an *****. Or maybe his son was in danger. We don't know. Killing might have been justified, maybe not. Maybe he had time to back off and call police, maybe he didn't. Anyone here know either one of them and have the answers? Or are we all just speculating? I'm thinking not one of us can't say whether this was justified or not without having a lot more information. I'm still glad I didn't have to decide this one.

Wouldnt the dead guy picking up his kid be a civil matter? Say the dead guy did call the cops and they show up, what exactly are they going to do?

In Texas it’s a felony offense but cops refuse to enforce
