2) Barring your way does not generally provide grounds for lethal force.
Nobody said it did. It's important here, and MANY fail to do this, to recognize the difference between "force" and "deadly force." If some are blocking me from walking down the sidewalk, am I justified in using FORCE against them?
Whether or not your use of force is justified is a question only a judge or a jury can answer.
Texas Penal Code 9.31 reads, in part, "... a person is justified in using force against another when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect the actor against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful force."

I doubt a judge or jury would find you reasonable for using force against anyone who is simply blocking your way.
And thats the problem. Judges, courts, and lawyers. These thugs will never stop until our side starts sending them to the morgue. Anything we do now we'll be held accountable for but if it turns to war then we'll have our revenge. You can't fight evil with love and and kindness.
