The statute leaves a lot to interpretation. At the point where the gun jammed there was no longer imminent danger. Interestingly, that phrase is not used in the statute. However, the "other" did attempt to commit aggravated robbery. He was also attempting to enter unlawfully and with force. Therefore, the presumption is that the use of deadly force was reasonable. In Texas it would be pretty tough to find 12 people to vote guilty given the vagueness of the statute. The owner would stand a pretty good chance of getting off even though the use of deadly force was no longer necessary to prevent imminent danger. At least that's how I'm reading it. Not sure of the point you were trying to make?

 

I wasn't trying to make a point. "Stand your ground" means different things in different places so it can be helpful to show what it means in (in this case) Texas. Brings some clarity to discussions of hypothetical legal consequences.

The manager may be lucky too. Hard to say what the circumstances were but you can’t simply shoot the guy because you are mad. Probably self defense is plausible but maybe not.

Texas is a stand your ground state. Chances of getting off on self defense are better there than in many other states but as you say, maybe not. 

 

Sec. 9.32. DEADLY FORCE IN DEFENSE OF PERSON. (a) A person is justified in using deadly force against another:

     (1) if the actor would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.31; and

     (2) when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:

           (A) to protect the actor against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force; or

           (B) to prevent the other's imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery.

(b) The actor's belief under Subsection (a)(2) that the deadly force was immediately necessary as described by that subdivision is presumed to be reasonable if the actor:

     (1) knew or had reason to believe that the person against whom the deadly force was used:

          (A) unlawfully and with force entered, or was attempting to enter unlawfully and with force, the actor's occupied habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment;

          (B) unlawfully and with force removed, or was attempting to remove unlawfully and with force, the actor from the actor's habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment; or

          (C) was committing or attempting to commit an offense described by Subsection (a)(2)(B)

He also said that about the one on Josh, and maybe it's a combination of the slowness of the replay and bias but, the balls out don't throw the QB to the ground that's just stupid.

 

Flame away, but on first glance (I haven't watched any replays since) I thought Josh flopped at the end of that one to make it look like Kinlaw slammed him down as a second act.

It was brought up as a real possibility on WFAN. Coaches and players are allowed to display flags of their heritage. But the current situation and the date it was displayed indicated it could have been a point of contention. They also couldn’t figure out why he was escorted out and not allowed to speak to players and the GM was not even informed. They surmised it may not have been football related especially because they are only 5 games in and playing for 1st place in the division on Monday.

Oddest part of the post debate coverage is how many people seem to seriously responding to Vance calling them out for fact checking and then ignoring the fact he explained how they were wrong. It is just like the "fine people" quote, basically getting low information people excited to vote Dem.

 

You see it online a lot too. "I just corrected you." "Ok but your 'correction' is factually incorrect." "No you don't understand I *corrected* you."

 

It's an appeal to consensus, in a broad sense.

Tomato can or not they’re NFL defenses. The Bills dominated them like SEC vs UB. But yes we should also point out the Bills have done that before. 
 

 

Yeah, they get paid too. I get that. But once you get to the playoffs you’re facing the league’s top defenses (7 of 8 divisional round teams last year were top 12 in ppg allowed, including 5 of the top 6). 
 

I’m not sure that Brady really has the chops tbh. Being the OC for possibly the best college football squad ever isn’t quite the feather in the cap that everyone thinks it is. I’m not sure how many football people would actually ***** up Burrow, Chase, and Jefferson on the field together.

Let’s be clear first, the Bills offense has been dominant minus Baltimore and a half vs Arizona. 
 

But yes, their usage of Kincaid and also Samuel is concerning. 

Kincaid was drafted to work out of the slot in a Daboll/Dorsey offense.

 

So the Bills offense has been dominant for little over half of the season. Against tomato can defenses. Just to be clear.

[What are your thoughts on those who don’t return their shopping cart?]

It's the simplest method of finding out whether a person is good enough to live in modern society.

 

You gain nothing by returning the shopping cart. In fact, you lose some fraction of a minute by returning the shopping cart. It does not benefit you in the least. But it is easy and is objectively the right thing to do. So really the motivation for returning the cart can only come out of how good of a person you are.

 

On the other hand, you lose nothing by not returning the shopping cart. You are unlikely to be personally affected by not returning the shopping cart. There is no law against not returning the shopping cart. It's just that not returning the shopping cart is objectively the wrong thing. Therefore you are a bad person for not returning the shopping cart.

 

In short, the people who don't return shopping carts are the reasons why the government must have the power to imprison and kill people. Their only motivation to do the right thing comes from the end of a gun.

Yeah if we're going to talk about Americans being neglected for the sake of a foreign nation Israel pretty much always tops that list. I hate the aid to Ukraine but anyone talking about that is just suffering from recency bias.
