Yeah, seems like yelling, cursing, and threatening to kill two bumpkins who are both holding firearms is a bad idea. 

"You aren't going to shoot my husband!"  Uh, you sure about that, lady?

 

Not saying anyone deserves to be shot, but what the hell was that guy thinking was going to happen?

Idiots. Big guy just couldnt walk away. Had his brother go get a bat and died in front of his kids.

Unbridled stupidity all the way around. And the sheriff goes straight to “Abilene Strong”?

Where is that trivial things thread...........

That is what bugs me the most. She was talking about how he has some mental problems. Some kind of anger management issues. Yet she just sits there filming it and not doing what she can to get her husband to just leave. "Honey let's go. It isn't worth it".

the murderers looked like the old man and Chum from Pawn Stars

Anyone yelling, screaming and threatening a couple of guys holding guns is a damn fool.

Shooting someone over them yelling at you is a damn fool thing to do.

I can’t imagine anyone I know ever being in that situation. I can’t imagine if they were in that situation, not simply walking away upon the mere sight of guns.

Did the dead guy not attack the old man?   I don’t know the law here and don’t care to ever know, except mild interest pertinent only to this story. I just wonder if their ultimate defense has a self-defense chance. Seems like it to me. 

I understand not wanting to back down against two bumpkins but they’re holding guns and telling you they are going to shoot.   Risky proposition to call their “bluff.”  Even if they are going to shoot only 1% of the time, the results are serious as it gets.  I wouldn’t take that bet.

I don’t get people escalating a disagreement to brandishing guns so quickly.   We all laugh at videos of two old guys in a fist fight but that’s a smarter way to resolve a violent confrontation.   One guy might lose a few teeth and some pride but everyone goes home for the night.  Now all of their lives are affected (or ended) over some trash/dumpster issue.  Geez. 

The older shooter would seem to have an argument that he was being threatened and standing his ground.  in Texas you can stand your ground as long as you have a right to be where you are standing.  We can’t see what was occurring in the last seconds.  The younger shooter looks to fire at a point that isn’t protecting himself but rather trying to finish off the soon-to-be dead guy.

That was hard to watch. The lady’s anguish was hard to hear.

I’ve likely been a dumbass and could have seen myself acting like both parties at different stages of my wild youth, but I just can’t imagine in my advanced age not de-escalating. The old gray fat guy has to know his options suck and you lose either way by not de-escalating and instead smugly repeating “better back off”; you get beat up or you kill someone. Maybe I just have too much respect for life at my age, but it’s just not worth it. This is as callous and senseless as any young black Chicago death over a corner.

How could you ever act like either party?

One thing I’ve learned in my travels throughout the world is that if you are going to be a total asshole, then you need to be able to back it the fuck up. You need to have some situational awareness and a little common sense or your going to wake up in a foreign hospital without any teeth.  

This is a classic case of a guy with a temper problem trying to rectify his bruised ego with a doofus who has a gun. The guy cannot accept that he was beaten. Dude, gun = checkmate. Call the cops and file a police report, show them the video to see if he fucked up and gets arrested. 

 

Did you hear him say he was gonna kill me? 

Followed by 90 seconds of I’m gonna kill you and you’re dead. 

I wasn’t able to watch it with the sound the first time. The two shirtless freaks are still idiots but not nearly as big an idiot as the dead guy.

I think that is what they were after.   Just pushed it too far.

Agree with this take.  The old guy with the pistol was calm and depending on what happened in those two seconds might have been justified in shooting.  I don’t think the young guy could have been.

The chest hair bikini top, cockroach sized mole near his armpit, haircut and rustler jeans are the superfecta of white trash.

 

what do you think those guys talk about at dinner?

”Daddy, I don’t git why I cain’t keep wearing the diapers?  You know I’m ascared to go in the bucket. If you make me wear underwear’s I’m just gonna fertend they is still my diapers a go in um’ anyway.”

 

 

They’re going to jail for a long time. They don’t look like the type of family that will afford a decent defense. Any public defender worth anything will get these guys to plea to a lesser charge.

 

Probably the only two dudes on the planet whose diets will improve after going to prison.    The dad looks like he casually drinks an entire Super Gulp of white cream gravy over the course of a day.

Wouldn’t shock me if an advocacy group helps them with their defense.

Yep, and with the stand your ground law they could win.  Their biggest problem is that their were multiple shots.  Double tapping a dude lying on the ground is murder.

Angry dude act threatening they are allowed to pull out a gun.  Angry dude charges they are allowed to shoot.  If this was only a single shot they probably wouldn’t have even have been arrested.

 

You shoot to eliminate the threat. Anchor shots aren’t a good idea unless the person is still trying to threaten you.

Florida got nothing on us.

Yeah, we love to give Arkansas, Florida and others loads of shit, but outside the big cities, we give em a run for their money.

Which one is Bobby Darin?
