@Williamvex6@tariqnasheed@TheJackArn You can if you feel like you’re in a threatening situation and your life is in danger. It’s literally called self defense. He simply warned him. Austin’s actions proved that he wanted trouble.
@Williamvex6@tariqnasheed@TheJackArn Because it’s clear as day. Which is exactly the defense argument. The prosecution has to prove that Anthony was not in a threatening position and did not feel like his life was in danger, which they can’t prove.
@Williamvex6@tariqnasheed@TheJackArn That wasn’t Austin responsibility, he is a student. Melo intention was to be exactly where he was which he was invited over. Austin wanted problems and got more than he could chew. Keep your hands to yourself.
@Williamvex6@tariqnasheed@TheJackArn No, Melo felt his life was in danger and responded accordingly. Mind you, Austin is the one with the history of physical violence. He was also suspended from the team.
@Williamvex6@tariqnasheed@TheJackArn Austin doesn’t control the tent, he should have gotten an adult to remove him. Austin made all the wrong choices. He cornered him with several other large guys, failed to grab an adult, and he physically touched him after being warned not to. Cause and effect.
@Williamvex6@tariqnasheed@TheJackArn He was sitting and cornered on both sides. It was easier for Austin to walk away and grab an adult, but he wanted to display his dominance. Austin’s intentions were clear when he ignored his warning and physically touched him after he specifically told him not to.
@Williamvex6@tariqnasheed@TheJackArn Austin could have grabbed an adult after being warned verbally with a physical position showing his hand clearly in his bag holding on to something. See how that works.
@Williamvex6@tariqnasheed@TheJackArn It’s giving you a warning. “I’m in a threatening position and I will do what I have to in order to remove myself with the object that isn’t illegal for me to have by law”
@Williamvex6@tariqnasheed@TheJackArn You can’t say his intentions were to murder. He responded how he felt necessary to remove his self from the situation. Just so happens the weapon penetrated with accuracy.
@Williamvex6@tariqnasheed@TheJackArn It does when you feel threatened and have acknowledged so. Had he got an adult involved and followed is advice, we wouldn’t be here. You can’t speak for how a smaller individual should respond in an hostile, cornered situation. He warned him and he ignored, simple.
@Williamvex6@tariqnasheed@TheJackArn You have no argument besides emotion. You aren’t considering the position of the opposing side because you’re so focused on the fact a life was taken after being verbally and physically warmed to walk away. It’s called, cause and effect.
@Williamvex6@tariqnasheed@TheJackArn He was approached by multiple larger kids with aggressive behavior. No, that is a warning that he felt threatened and unsafe. They ignored is boundaries and he followed with force. If you’re told specifically not to do something and you do it anyway, you’re asking for a reaction.
@Williamvex6@tariqnasheed@TheJackArn Which they have to prove. He was surrounded by several bigger guys standing over him, one being aggressive. He was cornered. He clearly felt like he was in a dangerous situation and had to do whatever to defend himself. Weight advantage is considered a weapon in Texas.
