I will be interested to hear how the grand jury handles this case. I’m guessing Texas will pin a medal on him? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna64851 Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure."

But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | ||

I agree. Some say he had already taken the gun away when he fired that last shot. | |||

Just seems like a bad idea to rob a Texas restaurant full of Texans.  | |||

After watching the video, I'd bet the guy gets prosecuted. | |||

I mean really…the guy terrorized the public with a gun and a guy stops him. The guy that stopped him was peacefully minding his own business until attacked. The guy could have been reaching for another weapon. Those are the facts as I see them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

The customer kept shooting until he was satisfied the bad guy posed no more threat, what you or I think isn't valid because we weren't the ones in immediate danger. It's easy to Monday morning quarterback when you're not the one experiencing tunnel vision and time simultaneously speeding up and slowing down. The customer was wise to leave the restaurant immediately, the police weren't there and no guarantee that the bad guy didn't have buddies close by.

I agree. The last shot is problematic from the video.. But, I was not there to see and hear everything. | |||

I doubt I'd vote to convict if I were on the jury, based on that video. But some over-zealous or politically-ambitious prosecutor might see it differently. | |||

Shooting an armed robber demands a PRIZE! Not a trial!  | |||

The sad thing is the Soros supported DA referred it to the Grand Jury in the first place. They know they can't get a conviction so they should just say no charges, but it goes against their grain because one of the shots was a bit late. That shot made no difference, but hey, pass the buck to the Grand Jury. My bet is a no bill after a waste of the taxpayer's money. | |||

Even the perp's mother's comment to the press was that her son said he was going to do better. He didn't. I'm sorry for her, but it sounds like she gets it too. | |||

Bloody lawyers! What does one expect from the vermin of humanity??  | |||

I'm fine with this criminal getting shot. But, after he caps the guy 7 or 8 times and he is on the ground not moving, the best move from a criminal or civil liability standpoint is not to walk up, lean down and put another round into his head.

To make sure the law is followed? And, if it's not, to make sure those that violate the law or other people's rights are held accountable? Some lawyer must have really reamed you out at some point Saeed to have created this level of rage at attorneys. And, referring the matter to a grand jury was exactly the correct thing to do and it's what would have been done in 99% of the jurisdictions in the United States. You know why? Because that's part of the system we use to determine whether or not criminal charges are warranted in a given situation rather than just leaving it up to one person (the District Attorney) to decide whether an indictment should issue. It's a good system that works very well. And, this would have been referred to a GJ even without that last shot that was a "bit late." When somebody gets shot 8 or 9 times by somebody else, even if it appears justified, the matter is invariably referred to a grand jury. Nor is it a waste of the taxpayers money. It's what a grand jury does. -Every damn thing is your own fault if you are any good. | |||

Why did career criminal rob people brandoshing a fake gun like a real one? Didn't he know that could get him killed? And its still a felony! . | |||

You're probably correct from a legal standpoint, but when adrenaline is flowing and your sphincter is tight legal consequences might be the last thing on your mind. Remember no one in that room realized that was a BB gun, except for the bad guy. "For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind..." Hosea 8:7 | |||

There is no such thing as a LAW made by corrupt politicians, who most probably are lawyers. The laws of COMMON SENSE should prevail! You rob someone, get your dues. End of story. The stupid lawyers who jumps to his support should ge stripped of his law operating license. Makes sense! Double benefit. Get rid of a criminal. Get rid of a lawyer! Society WINS! | |||

You don't even try to be nice!  These lawyers are like surgeons or preachers, they are and think they have to be certain in their conclusion. Ambiguity isn't welcomed, differing opinions don't make the cut from the pulpit or operating table. But we need lawyers don't we? We need surgeons, preachers, morticians, plumbers, proctologists, urologists, coal miners and executioners. Ain't nobody here looks forward to taking their aged and failing pet to the vet to be euthanized but we do, pay them for it and thank them. Right Doc Mitchell? | |||

I think almost everyone would agree that the shooter should be acquitted, He did a public service. I recall that old story where a person thought that hanging a man for stealing a horse was a bit too severe, but the judge's reply was, "We don't hang a man for stealing a horse, we hang a man so that horses won't be stolen." | |||

As I recall, the shooter in this incident got himself a good lawyer first, then contacted the police through him.
