That actually did make sense! - Thanks

So you can use force to remove someone from your property, just not deadly force. If the person you are trying to remove escalates the force to over power you, since you provoked the initial force, is deadly force off the table and you have to take the beating if it gets that serious? I like these conversations, as many have no clue and do not read up on the law, just take Facebook advice.

There is no way he will ever be the same. I can't even let my mind think about it.....

I'm sure you are right, but I was on high alert....lol

yea, I sold a washer and dryer at my Dad's house.....kinda hard to meet to sell that. My wife stayed in the house with her gun ready, and I had mine on me. They ended up being a really nice older couple. I even through in a working microwave we replaced. You never know who going to show up.

This guy was an all around good dude. I went to college with him, we were both in the Lamar band. He never met a stranger and was always willing to help you. Such a shame he was taken so early in life.

they each got 6-7 murder charges......was that just to stack the sentence?

All three were convicted....the father and son guilty on all 8 or 9 counts...... the 3rd wheel guilty of 7/9 or 8/9 Their future is trying to hold on to the soap for the rest of their lives.....

I'm not sure how it ended up, but I was listening to your buddy Nate the lawyer. He was pointing out the Judge possibly making a ruling on the wording of the self defense law. I believe there was two parts to self defense, and the defense was using one part and the Judge said it would require both for deadly force. If he ruled like he was leaning, he pretty much took the self defense off the table.

Send Kyle an AR for 2nd amendment rights or construct a statue of Floyd for police brutality......Depends on what you support I guess.

lol. AGREED!

I've been watching/listening to the trial. It is very interesting. The Judge has been very colorful and pretty hard on the prosecution for trying to admit things he felt was not within the laws/rules on the court. So far, admittedly bias, I don't think the State is very convincing.

It is streaming on YouTube live. I think the defense had a great opening, with video and pictures. The defense also made the prosecutions first witness, his friend, backpedal on testimony and statements he gave the FBI. Of course, I may be biased since I think he is innocent as well

I'm no expert but I think it was a good day for Kyle based on the few hours I watched.

No dog in the fight so to speak, but to me, comparing a football contract to slavery is insulting to the people whose ancestors where actually slaves.. ......You would think they would be totally against his comments.

He’s pretty smart….he lets everyone proofread it for him😂

This is going to be an interesting trial, and the Twitter comments will not disappoint…..here is one guy that thinks you must be at least grazed by a bullet before you can use lethal force….. “No shot grazed his body so therefore he had no legal right to self defense..... he felt like he was being attacked but he actually wasn't until he starting running... feelings are not upheld by the law”

You cannot combat words with violence. Period

This is CNN giving an opinion about the Wall Street Journal going too far in it's opinion section........ They are comparing stating an opinion that the election was stolen in 2020 to yelling fire in a movie theater...... From the article "The op-ed section at the Journal will likely hide behind 1st Amendment free speech arguments to defend themselves. But that misses the mark, since our speech is bound in all sorts of ways already. You can't yell "bomb" on a plane without repercussions. Or "fire" in a movie theater. (Remember when we used to go to the movies? Yeah, that was fun.)" Are we going to criminalize opinions when we don't agree with them? [Hidden Content]

I taught my kid from a young age that he had every right to defend himself against an attack. It worked well for us, he was only in one fight and it lasted only a couple seconds as he only swung one time and put the dude on his butt. I picked him up from school and we went for dinner and ice cream. He was around 13. School imo should not have different self defense rules than real life.....I mean, school is suppose to prepare you for real life, right? I see both sides, but my old school mentality can't make sense of letting yourself get beat up.

I would agree with the expert part….you have experience plus you research

I really enjoyed the way Donald Rumsfeld would reply to reporters that asked stupid questions or would repeat the same questions. In his day, that man was razor sharp with a slight humor to his responses.

same

I could have misunderstood, but listening to the Sherriff's press conference today there were multiple live rounds in the gun they think was used.....along with over 500 "rounds" of ammo on set. I could not catch if the 500 was real or blanks or a combination of both. Any way you look at it, that does not sound like a safe atmosphere......

Man, I just got a blink system at my Dad's house that we just remodeled......I about wore that camera out when I heard about the tornado....luckily all is well
