Keep in mind that was in Michigan and Michigan has a very specific definition on self defense, including the 21 foot rule. What is legal in Texas will get you life behind bars in Michigan.
My thoughts have nothing to do with the laws in particular between Texas and Michigan and more to do with the moral obligation to follow the law versus the theoretical net overall improvement to society that was achieved.
No issues with what you stated or implied. I am just saying once these two adults - the 18 year olds - turned their back and were more than 7 yards away from the landowner, the shooter had a tough road to hoe on the self defense claim there.
