The Judge went off on this piece of shit. 

While delivering the defendant’s sentence, Judge Adam Michelini addressed Monahan directly.

“Your first instinct was to lie about what happened, and you repeatedly lied in such a cold and calculating manner. And the jury saw right through your lies, and they rejected them. In killing Kaylin Gillis, you took away a friend, you took away a girlfriend, you took away a daughter, a granddaughter, and a sibling. You took away so much unrealized potential. Her potential to enrich other people’s lives and to contribute to our society,” said Michelini.

Michelini said Monahan seemed remorseless.

“It’s obvious to me that you feel justified. You don’t take any responsibility for the outcome of your actions. You just don’t get it. The first thing you do on the witness stand when you come up here and testify, is you made a joke to the jury about them finally being able to see your face,” said Michelini. “You senselessly took the life of Kaylin Gillis, and you have the gall to sit here and talk about how you plan to finish up the work on your house, and race motor-cross in the future? You don’t deserve that. What would make you think that you deserve those things?

The judge also said Monahan could re-offend.

“Any remorse you have isn’t from the harm you’ve caused, the only regret you have is that you’re finally facing the consequences for your actions. You murdered Kaylin Gillis. You shot at a car full of people, and you didn’t care what would happen. And you repeatedly lied about it. You deserve to spend the maximum amount of time in prison allowable under our law. And I don’t make this decision because it’s easy, I make it because it’s what’s deserved, I make it because it’s what’s just,” said Michelini.

A question for the Surly Law Brigade:

Let's say that the person taking that video sees the old man pull that gun, feels that his or her life is in imminent danger (as seems likely they did due to their rapid displacement to another location), and instead of running pulls a firearm of their own and perforates the shit out of the old guy.  Would that not clearly be a case of self defense and justifiable homicide under Texas law?  If not, why not?

They’d be fine if I were on their jury. Fuck that guy.

That's valid self defense in almost any jurisdiction.

People don't learn, but at least this kid isn't dead

Quote

According to a criminal complaint obtained by USA TODAY, Ashland City Police Department officers responded to a home for a report of a teenage Domino's pizza driver who had been shot at at least seven times.

Arriving officers located the shooting suspect who told them he and his wife saw a truck parked in their driveway on the Ring camera and thought someone was breaking into his truck, police wrote in the complaint

Ridiculous.  Even if it was someone breaking into his truck, shooting them is not justified.  Be a man and go whoop his ass if that's your thing.  Otherwise, lay low, take pictures, call the cops.

Yesterday there was a misdelivered package on my front door, so I decided to take it to the right house. When I did, I parked in the person's driveway. In this day and age, I was probably putting my life at an unnecessary risk.
