I think he's dead

[Matthew Hajicek]

It's so awesome we have someone with such amazing clearity of thought and all the answers with all permutations covered with legal analysis and court precidence.
Too bad you'd be long dead in such a circumstance.
Fucktards torturing the facts like you do is what's wrong with our leaders and legal system. It's honestly it seems kinda despicable to judge someone with such one sided "legal clarity"while under deadly threat.

I take these things as a chance to learn.  What things did he do right, and what things did he do wrong?  If I'm ever in this kind of situation, I hope I can do better than he did.  As I said, if you're happy being alive in prison, you don't have to do better.  It remains to be seen if this guy will get lucky legally or not.

I want there to be more good, clean, self defense shootings that we can hold up as a shining example to show those gun grabbers what a goodguy with a gun can do, and why they're needed and not a danger to innocent bystanders.  Elisjsha Dicken was just such an example.  This is one is not, and will likely be used against us.  I seriously thought you guys would know better too, I'm rather disappointed.

We'll said. When you're right you're right.
It's my personal kryptonite listening to you go on and on about how someone was put into a situation through no fault of their own and then have you Monday morning quarterback them to infinity. You did it to that fucktard George Floyd (et.al) who died of a drug overdose and coronary artery desiase as a consequence of his drug habit and the jury saw it your way too. Fuck those putos. It's me not you I guess. So, sorry for being a dick.

If you think that's a safe line of fire, I don't want to be anywhere near you at the range...

I guarantee I NEVER said it was "safe". If anything I said your thick ass red line is fucked up.

[CNCAppsJames]

Maybe you shouldn't be machining either, since you don't understand axis'.  The only degree of freedom not constrained by the image is towards the camera and away, and those can be easily deduced within a small degree of error by perspective.

But you go ahead and keep grasping at straws to defend your hero.

Maybe you should learn perspective, scale, spatial awareness, LOS, oh, and a whole host of other things pertinent to this situation.

He's not necessarily my hero, but he definitely gets props for putting down that dog you seem intent on defending.

I mis-spoke. My apologies.

There were not 5 other axes to consider. There were only 3 more. Z doesn't Matter and neither does C.

X, Y, A and B which even your allegedly gitlfted eye and stellar drawing skills can't ascertain



According to your criteria for safe shoots, the guy that dropped that piece of shit in the mall last year, at 45 yards wasn't a "safe" shot either and his window was smaller than this guy's.

Regardless, "Safe" or "unsafe" cannot be accurately deduced from that angle no matter how awesome your drawing skills are.

[Matthew Hajicek]

Alright, quote me defending the crook.  Please.  You can't, because you're a fucking liar.  Sit down and shut up.

It's hard to judge the totality of the guy's actions from a single camera angle. I do think the last shot could be iffy based on the limited facts we know. But I doubt it would rate a murder charge, especially in Texas. Maybe mutilation of corpse.

The one indisputable fact we do know, if the bad guy wouldn't have fucked around, he wouldn't have found out.

He is solely responsible for manner in which his life ended.

Guy meets with police. No charges but the case is sent to a grand jury.

Another fact we know, the world is a better place without Mr Washington in it...

Who is the suspect?

Houston police identified the suspect as 30-year-old Eric Eugene Washington.

DPS and court documents reveal that Washington was out on bond at the time of the robbery for an assault of a family member charge from December. He was due back in court later this month.

In 2015, a jury sentenced Washington to serve 15 years in prison on a 2013 aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon charge, court documents show. Prosecutors initially charged him with capital murder in the 2013 case, but records show the jury instead convicted him of the lesser charge of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. Records show he got parole in early 2021.

"Will the grand jury care? Yes, because they will see that this man had a track record of being a stone-cold, card-carry, no doubt about it, aggravated robber," Wice said.

You've spent this whole topic going against the shooter, which is a defacto defense of said dog.

Come on, I know you're not that dumb.  Saying the shooter did something wrong is not in any way a defense of the crook.

Ok, I get it; in your mind, one person has to be completely wrong and the other has to be perfect, so you can't admit the defensive shooter made any questionable decisions or to you that would be somehow exonerating the robber.  Interesting.

[Matthew Hajicek]

Surely....the police have to charge him with something, and the severity of that something dictates if it is a fine or goes to court?
Can you just "go to court" without being charged?

That's kind of what the grand jury is.  They look at the evidence available, which consists largely of the video we're talking about, and decide if that warrants charges.

[CNCAppsJames]

..so you can't admit the defensive shooter made any questionable decisions ...

I NEVER said that. You're a fucking liar!

See how that works.

[Matthew Hajicek]

Alright, if you're going to call me a liar on that, show where you admitted the defensive shooter made a questionable decision.

Sending it to the grand jury is a sellout by the local DA
He doesn't want his name on the prosecution ( or non prosecution) so he presents his
evidence to the grand jury. I would imagine he is getting heavy pressure from both camps.

When I first saw that video (with the sound off)  I though "Oh shit, he shot him in the back"
That won't meet self defense criteria here in Cali

After watching it with sound on and the coup de grace to the head, he'd definitely be sitting in front of a jury
in Cali.
Bottom line is the DA hasn't got the balls to make a decision.
He'll piss people off no matter what he does, so he's handing it off to the grand jury to keep his hands clean
