Better to be tried by 12, than carried by 6.

They were retreating. They were not a threat to the shooters, nor their property because they were retreating, trying to leave the parts lot.
Sorry, deadly force was not warranted, and the shooters should have been tried for murder.

Sorry, but there's also a reason why the grand jury did not seek to pursue charges. Since they were acquitted this civil trial should never have happened.
And i find it disgusting that the state expects business owners should have to lay down and let scum take off with their life savings.
"Lost income" my ass. Her father was a methhead and a favor was probably done to her. For all we know he would have been the death of his daughter.
It's absolutely disgusting that Fox is being painted as the victim here. The real victims are the business owners who were only trying to protect their livelyhood. Now everything has been taken from them.
Granted i most likely would not have used deadly force as they did and under those circumstances but come on!

IIRC, in Texas his partner could have been prosecuted for capital murder, as he was participating in a felony during the course of which someone lost there life.

i agree with the saying, as i have heard it many times. i was just being mellow dramatic with what i said, in jest of the fact that the man would have probably paid less if he just let the guy take what ever he wanted.
did he also lose his rights to own firearms?
