Houston father shoots and kills guest in daughters bedroom

[Oldgringo]

Scenario: If I heard a noise, go in and my daughter is shouting saying there's a guy under her bed trying to attack her, what do you do then? I imagine I start shouting to come out with his hands up, but who knows in the heat of the moment. I can say in that scenario if he even blinks wrong he gets six rounds of buckshot. I'd view that as a definite threat and attack.

Of course my daughter isn't stupid enough to have a boy climb into her room at night. I'd be third or so in line of people/dogs tearing this guy a new one. The wife is downright vicious and might use...pliers...

seems to me I'd like your wife...."pass the pliers"

Somebody's attacking anybody from under the bed there must be zombies or something, eh?

C'mon people, the lying daughter is the cause of this all. Surely, the young man, dead as he is, should've said, "...get thee behind me, Jezebel," and never entered that pit of iniquity. He did, and now he is dead for succumbing to the siren's song. A story as old as mankind itself; except, in this day and age, a lot of people will be suing a lot of other people...and who will prevail....stay tuned.

Exactly.

What if its a rapist who ducked under the bed when he heard noise?

[SewTexas]

Dang some of y'all have a problem remembering what CedarParkDad and I both have said....

We've both said that the girl could have stopped this. BUT once she said she didn't know the guy he was no longer a potential boyfriend he was a rapist in Dad's eyes, possibly threatening to hurt her if she said or did something wrong. Remember, too, that Dad had apparently crawled to her bedroom, not even taking the time to get into his wheelchair, that was how determined he was to take care of his girl.

and with that....I'm done...this thread is spinning in circles.

From what I've read, the boy is black and he has been warned repeatedly about not being at a girl's house if the parents don't know him. As such, it's obvious that he had fair warning that certain actions could have a detrimental effect upon his health. The house is owned by a "Tyler Israelson", but as far as I can determine, it appears to be leased to someone else, possibly within the last few months. I cannot determine the name of the renter, much less the race.

The father looked melanin gifted in the news video of being taken to the hospital.

If the father had been a white man killing the black teenager, we would have already had the Rhymin Revrum's screaming from the hilltops as they slapped the race card down on the table. "Justice for Trayvon redux, round II."

Instead, all to be heard is the sound of crickets . . .

There was no noise beforehand?

I agree with SewTexas, this thread has got plum silly and like SewTexas, I'm .

Vaya con Dios, y'all.

Yep... Haven't even heard the usual racist excrement from Q-Tip.
