@nefariousgrin@TheWrightTackle@caucasiancunt@JaelCorbleu@realalexsanglez Even if you call it a hard shove, that still isn’t automatically a deadly threat under Texas law. Self-defense requires a reasonable belief that deadly force was immediately necessary to prevent death or serious bodily injury, not just that someone bigger made contact.
@nefariousgrin@TheWrightTackle@caucasiancunt@JaelCorbleu@realalexsanglez A soft push isn’t deadly force or an imminent threat of serious bodily injury. And even if two people were present, that still doesn’t automatically justify deadly force. It depends on what they were actually doing, not just their size or proximity.
@nefariousgrin@TheWrightTackle@caucasiancunt@JaelCorbleu@realalexsanglez No one is saying he could be assaulted just for refusing to leave or for words alone. The issue is proportionality and imminence. Texas self-defense still requires a reasonable belief that deadly force was immediately necessary to prevent death or serious bodily injury.
@nefariousgrin@TheWrightTackle@caucasiancunt@JaelCorbleu@realalexsanglez You’re still assuming the conclusion. The question isn’t whether someone can fear injury when confronted by bigger people. The question is whether a reasonable person would believe a fatal stabbing was immediately necessary.
@nefariousgrin@TheWrightTackle@caucasiancunt@JaelCorbleu@realalexsanglez Saying there was “100% reason” to fear serious bodily injury isn’t evidence. The question is whether a reasonable person would believe a fatal stabbing was necessary. Being bigger and shoving someone doesn’t automatically make serious bodily injury imminent.
@nefariousgrin@TheWrightTackle@caucasiancunt@JaelCorbleu@realalexsanglez The evidence has to show an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury. Being bigger and giving a shove are not the same thing as a deadly threat. Also, your “two attackers” scenario doesn’t match the reported facts of the confrontation.
@nefariousgrin@TheWrightTackle@caucasiancunt@JaelCorbleu@realalexsanglez Texas law doesn’t say “if you’re scared, you can stab.” It says the belief must be reasonable. A larger person softly pushing someone after repeatedly telling them to leave is not the same as an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury.
@DallasSp0rtsFan@HankHil70023164@JakeLang I agree he shouldn’t have pushed him, but that push didn’t give Karmelo the right to kill him.
Also, it wasn’t a 4v1 as the video proved in court.
@nefariousgrin@TheWrightTackle@caucasiancunt@JaelCorbleu@realalexsanglez “A person is justified in using deadly force … when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary to protect against another’s use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force…” — Texas Penal Code § 9.32(a)(2)(A)
