Could you have done something less than deadly force that would have stopped or prevented the crime?

What is reasonable? That IS a subjective term, and it can mean something different to you than it does me.

Great advice!

In early May, we took a trip north and stopped in Lufkin for a late breakfast.

I saw this article ( http://www.lufkindailynews.com/search/c ... oting.html ) in the newspaper in a news stand at the restaurant. Didn't buy the paper and could not find any follow up articles since, but this thread reminded me of it.

That situation is confusing, to say the least, IMHO.

Anyone know what happened to Buster in Lufkin?

PLEASE, PLEASE post a message explaining that the above statement was intended as a satirical reference to the way the ANTI-SELF DEFENSE people mis-characterize the Castle Doctrine law.

From one CHL brother to another, I believe that is how you meant it. But lest some people fail to "get the joke", you really should clarify your remark.

PLEASE.

Anyways, I respect everyone opinion here. No hate or whatever towards anyone, and I like to appreciated everyone honesty on justifying shooting or not. Majority of the people here consider me gung-ho, but like someone said before on the first page, only I can choose what to do in a situation like this. I can only speak for myself. Maybe because I'm young, stupid, and I don't know any better, but I have seen my friend's cousin got shot up in a drive by one night in Houston. That day changed my life around. That's why I'm here in Arlington, to get away from the crime, but it looks like Arlington is not even better then where I left off in Houston.

I will go back to the Arlington Police Department and get a written proof what the officers announce to everyone in our neighborhood today to be on the safe side tomorrow. I have also got my entire neighborhood as witnesses of what happened today, so you are looking at over 60+ people. I have gotten to know my neighbors pretty well today. Some I have never spoken to, but today have changed. I found out at least 9 of my neighbors, including us, are packing. We also talked about what happened today, and believe it or not, they are thinking the same way as I am.

Someone here said the family will sue me. I say go right ahead. I got 2 of my uncle's close friends that are lawyers. They are also CHLer's, and my uncle have already contacted both of them of what happen today already, and they have told us what we need to know if something like this happens. I'm going to recommend my uncle's lawyer friends to my neighbors tomorrow, and tell them to give them a call right away.

It's late, and I got church at 9:00am in the morning. It's going to be a long day tomorrow for me. I will keep ya updated on this asap.
