Well, that was a disappointingly short trial...it just started! I wanted more memes and entertainment.
The prosecution showed the jurors the Millers’ pistol and shotgun, reminding them that firearms are deadly weapons, and said Howard was standing about 6 feet away when the Millers shot him.
I'm not taking sides here, everyone was retarded, but that argument from the prosecution is also, as expected, straight up retarded. The "victim" said in graphic detail he was going to take the gun from the father and shoot him in the head, repeatedly said he was going to "fucking kill you," he also was insulting them and said he'd kill his son as well. He had a bat and was 6'7". A baseball bat is around three feet, and giants have long arms. One step and he can brain you. Being six feet away is already well within the danger zone. Also...bats are deadly weapons too.
Everyone involved was an asshat. But the dead guy did throw that bat at the dad and it did strike him. Rekieta did a 1/4 speed play through of the video and you can clearly see that the bat hit the dad. I think what might have gotten the dad in trouble is that after the initial volley of gunfire as the bat is being thrown, theres a final shot or two after. It's probable that the jury thought that the dad was giving Howard a final coup de grâce.
Not to defend anyone, but isn't throwing a baseball bat disarming yourself - and thus removing the imminent threat to the other party.
However, I recall a video, also from Texas, from a guy who murdered a kid's father from very short distance, and who got off scot-free. That victim had the bad luck of being white, so he could be killed with impunity.

Tell you what buddy. I'll just use my bare hands. Stand still.
If you are right, I am no threat at all.
If I am right, you will be unable to pass on you inferior genes.
Whoa, that escalated quickly. I think you didn't quite understand what I meant.
Besides, haven't you often called me a faggot? What's the likelihood of passing down inferior genes if you are?
