Customer killed taqueria robber, Houston attorney weighs in on self-defense questionA criminal defense attorney weighs in on if the man who shot and killed a Houston taqueria robber acted in self-defense. Sad story…….can’t bring a fake gun to rob real people in Texas Over a dozen fucking times. Kept shooting after he was down. Threw a coffee mug at the dead guy. Fled the scene. What a hero 🙄 'No one attempted to render aid'? That statement in its self is what's wrong with the criminal justice system. A guy points a gun at you, threatens your life and when he is injured you are supposed to render aid? GTFOH
