I always love stories with happy endings.
Just waiting for the media to report from the perps friends and family about how he was a "nice guy who never bothered anyone"! How he was always "trying to make peoples laughin'"! And how he "didn't deserve to die for this"!
Sounds to me like justice has been served!!

In New Yorkistan he would more then likely be brought up on some kind of charge or another, In Texas he will walk away with bragging rights.
I love it when a man gets the justice he deserves.

Another story is, He was just hanging with the wrong crowd, Wait a minute he was by himself, Ummmmmm
Justice has been served, don't dish it out if you can't take it!
Or in other words, Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes. He sure as hell won his Stupid Prize for his Stupid Actions.
For every action, there is a re-action, the re-action won. The Dad deserves a pat on the back, a case of beer and $25 to go buy another box or self defense bullets.

In New York he would lose his life savings trying to prove that his family’s lives were truly endangered. Then come the civil lawsuits.
Amazing isn’t it.

Texas has done crazy and some great laws!
One is the justifiable use of deadly force to protect property! So there doesn't even need to be a threat of loss of "life" or grievous bodily harm, just the simple fact that someone is stealing something owned by you. In this case, the attempt at robbery is clear. Proclaiming intent to kill someone is just icing on the cake!
Would have been better off just going in and asking for some $ to eat! Probably would have gotten a free meal at least. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

That is what father do good thing that wasn't their mother he might have wound up with his own balls in his mouth

What?
Actually, now the mother is saying he had a "deteriorating mental state". So she KNEW he was turning violent?
Police suspected him in another armed robbery. Didn't "mom" discover his sudden cash influx?
What was she doing while he was deteriorating?
Then she complains that a father, protecting his family and others, used more than one round. The father wouldn't know if the perp would immediately drop his gun and surrender after the first shot. You shoot to end the threat completely. Not have some pain-ridden, mentally disturbed, armed individual shooting people at random.

This is why I have USCCA. And one of the good plans at that. Not going to go bankrupt defending myself because people in this state care more about hurting the feefees of criminals than my life.

So, the mother doesn't think he deserved to die for what he did. She's right. If he had survived and been charged his sentence would have been a couple years at most (more likely months).
Of course, you don't deserve to die for speeding either, but 120MPH on a 45MPH curve and you might get killed there too.
Both cases, death isn't a criminal sentence, it's a possible outcome of risky behavior.

"In Texas he will walk away with bragging rights"
I support his actions 101%....I don't think taking a life condones "bragging rights"

Nice rationale. Well stated.

On the bright side the Piece of Shit won't be doing any more criminal acts. Poor Bastard just turned his life around. He just got caught up with the bad crowd. Same Shit, Different Day. Time to move on.

Pointing a gun at a persons kid never a good idea especially if they are armed.
