Some of the pro-vigilante comments puzzle me. It seems to be a misunderstanding of what is and what should be. I don’t claim to know the self defense laws in Texas, but I am reasonably familiar with them in my state. We are not given executioner status when we are under threat of death or great bodily harm. We are allowed to use deadly force until the threat (not the person) no longer exists. Going only off what is seen in the video, it’s hard to find any legality for the last shot. Maybe additional evidence will justify it, but the optics of aggressively moving toward the robber while firing, even after he is down and appears to be motionless, doesn’t help his case. Not to mention leaving the scene before police arrived.
So who is the judge of when the threat no longer existed? You, the judge watching the video or the good samaritan eliminating that threat ?
With that being said, what would have been your response while under the duress and adrenaline coursing thru you body?
You can't answer that because it's unlike you have ever been in a life or death situation like that where you are about to be killed by a gun wielding ex-felon whose record is being involved in a prior murder.........
