Houston Man May Face Charges for Shooting Carjackers

Last Resistance – by Philip Hodges

A Houston, Texas man may face charges for shooting a couple of carjackers and killing one. It happened one evening last week when the man came to his local Redbox to rent a video. When he was out of his car, two men robbed him of his keys and cellphone at gunpoint before getting into the victim’s car in an attempt to leave. (If only the Redbox had posted their “Carjacking-Free Zone” sign. Then, this incident probably would have never been conceived in the first place.)  

Thankfully, it wasn’t a gun-free zone, because the victim is a concealed carry holder. He retrieved his own weapon and began shooting at both carjackers, killing the driver and wounding the other. The other took off in a getaway car, leaving the scene and the victim’s car behind. The police are now on the lookout for those two suspects.

“KTRK legal analyst Sarah Frazier said, ‘It definitely appears to fall under or potentially fall under the penal code for defense of one’s property.’ Frazier says it’s likely a grand jury will call this a case of justifiable homicide. ‘First the grand jury is going to consider whether the gentleman was in lawful possession of the property, and from everything we know, he was,’ she explained. ‘And whether force was being used against him and it appears so.’ Frazier says the jury will also consider whether deadly force was necessary to avoid his own death or harm.”
If there’s nothing else to the story than what’s already been reported, than the man shouldn’t face any charges. He was simply defending himself and his property, and one of the carjackers got what he deserved.

  2. Any “prosecutor” that is willing to prosecute a man with a legal gun for defending himself should be hung with a hemp rope. This kind of story makes us all see just how ludicrous this country has become.

  3. This should be no billed by a grand jury, but if it does go further than that, the prosecuting assistant DA will definitely be setting himself up for winnable charges of malicious prosecution. Frankly, Sunfire’s suggestion is better for The People in the long run.
