What was this over.

Yikes! Over a fucking mattress in an alley? Why didn't his wife tell him to walk away?

"You're not going to shoot my husband" - future widow.

It seems like she was ratcheting up the tension herself. Everyone should have been hit by a semi instead.

The vast majority of gun deaths in the US are situations like these.

I don’t really understand why they were arrested. My understanding is by the end shirted dumbass had picked up a bat.

He was unstable and had a weapon at that point. Isn’t this what stand your ground was designed for. Not sure if brandishing the gun prior changes anything. But old shirtless dumbass was calm and somewhat trying to calm things, even if being adversarial.

Obviously a bus killing everyone is preferred. I love America today. I don’t think that’s murder.

A couple years ago a father and son had an argument about who was supposed to walk the dog. Both pulled out a gun and shot each other. The father's shot was fatal.

Those two were itching for an excuse to shoot him. The feud between the two parties had been broiling for days.

I am surprised he only came at them with a bat and not a firearm of his own, though he did threaten to return with a pellet gun.

No.

This is just Texas.

I think the charges will get reduced to manslaughter.

Who was dumping the mattress? I read the CNN article, I still can't figure it out.

No doubt they were itching to shoot him. But he knew they were armed. He had 2 minutes to calm down and walk away and leave the cum stained mattress in the alley.

Still think they are covered in stand your ground. He threatened to kill them numerous times. That's what happens when neither party is legally required to stand down.

If shirted dumbass somehow killed both of them in the heat of the moment with a BB gun, baseball bat or smothered them with the cum stained mattress.... he is innocent too. The situation escalated to where both parties legitimately feared bodily harm from the other party.
