Texas man in stand-your-ground case could

.......get life.

Quote:
Rodriguez was angry about the noise coming from Danaher's home, where the family was having a birthday party for Danaher's wife and young daughter. Rodriguez went to the home and got into an argument with Danaher, a 36-year-old elementary school teacher, and two other men who were at the party.

In a 22-minute video he recorded the night of the shooting, Rodriguez can be heard telling a police dispatcher "my life is in danger now" and "these people are going to go try and kill me." He then said "I'm standing my ground here," and shot Danaher after somebody appeared to grab his camera. The two other men were wounded.

Firemen aren't allowed to use their own version of "stop resisting"?

Only on fires and they don't pay much attention to what anyone says.

I have been tormented by people and their sound systems all of my adult life. Not one person has ever complied for long if I politely asked that the noise be turned down.

I guess shootin' must be OK then.

Maybe there should be a stand your sound law on the books, eh?

Here is why the guy was indicted:

His neighbors were terrorized over a long period of time. It's ironic they are
both Government Empoyees.

Well, as long as they are shooting each other I guess "civilians" will be that much safer.

I suppose the irony in that is that even though they probably both are/were union members they still went at it,
no brotherly love.

Not really surprising, FDs and PDs seem to be tight from perusing officer.com.

Unions are like gangs, but without the tatts. Likely a turf war...

After reading that account, he set the stage for the shooting. But the party people were stupid too.

Especially after reading the rest of that crap considering it sounded like LE were effectively enabling the bad behavior of their fireman brother.

Alcohol and Nitrocellulose never mix well.
