[Houston Crime] foiled robbery at S. Gessner taqueria

Preventing robberies at Taquerias

So John Wick without guns?

 

Whether he went too far or escalated the situation is up to the judicial system to decide. My only point is when a man threatens others with a deadly violence, the result of death of that criminal can be a justifiable consequence.

 

Okay. But who is saying otherwise for you to make that point?

 

agree. and the fact that he left after that happened. its pretty f***ed up that he didnt stick around for the cops...wouldnt be surprised if he had been drunk or had drugs on him, had a record, warrants and/or wasnt supposed to be in possession of a firearm. why else would he have left?

i still dont see a grand jury in the houston area charging him for anything.

 

Yes it can be. The problem though is when the threat is over for a civilian or an LEO to just decide they can go ahead and execute them.

 

A grand jury might not, a prosecutor might not decide to prosecute. I'm not going to claim to say with certainty if any of that will happen. As someone who self-defense is a very important issue including teaching it a situation like this is important to show the limits of self-defense.

 

John Wick without guns, on a mat, wearing these pajama type things, with rules, and (hopefuly) not out to avenge your dog.

 

If it happens incidentally and within the acceptable objective/subjective parameters of legal self-defense, so be it.

 

Yes there is a very unrealistic views of extreme violence. I've thankfully never been shot, seen someone shot or had to shoot anyone but from what I've heard from people who have treated gun shot wounds is that it's not like in movies where someone can be shot multiple times and keep on going. In many cases a single gun shot wound even in an extremity can be fatal.

 

Let me put this scenario out there to those who think this is justified.
What if the shooter pulls out his weapon and the robber to drops his gun. Would the shooter then still be justified in shooting the robber?

 

Question: Do I have a chance to review their criminal record prior to making a decision?

 

I think dead is dead. Obviously the last few shots weren't necessary but once you start shooting, you really don't have much time to think "Is the guy dead yet"

 

Yet you have enough time to think "Let me take his gun away. Then I can shoot him in the head".

 

Do you really think he was thinking at that point? I guess the argument is that he was probably dead already, so is the last shot to the head homicide? I'm not saying he was right, but I'm not going to judge what is reasonable behavior once someone starts aiming a gun at you and you decide to use deadly force.

 

The last time the public adored one of these vigilante justice heroes...it was a homeless guy named "Kai", he ended up killing one of his fans who tried to help him, and he ended up in prison and with the #1 movie on Netflix as of today. Hero worship...go away!

 

That’s a what if scenario
Shooting the suspect guarantees your safety and that he was not tricking to trick you

 

Not when they are face down and incapacitated.. you don't get to execute a criminal by shooting them in the back of the head.

Criminal is dead and the "hero" should be charged with a lesser degree manslaughter.

 

Even after he drops a gun.......?

You worried about the seniorita pistols by the ankles?

 

It's simply not reasonable to shoot someone in the back of the head when they are face down with bullet holes in them..... You don't get to execute folks..... Sorry?
