  1.  @johnwilliams6880  Jacob has a point, though. Texas has robust stand-your-ground laws. Watch the video again. The person in the robe is standing their ground, a short distance away. The other person is yelling loudly and angrily. If the person with the gun was yelling, it’s not as audible or as audible. The person who was shot begins walking toward the person with the gun. I’m not sure if the “just dropping me off from work” excuse will hold up from the person who was shot. There seems to be plenty of other places where he could have been dropped off. All I know is that we only saw part of the argument. The Ring footage might reveal more. We don’t know what criminal record the woman had (I think the shooter was a woman) or that the guy had. The woman might be the upstanding citizen here, while the guy has the criminal record. We don’t know anything about the previous confrontations, but there might be Ring video of that, too. I think I’d want to hear everything better on the video. You can’t really make out what the man is yelling and I can’t hear what the woman with the gun said at all. We do know that a judge AND the prosecutor didn’t feel the woman was a risk, and allowed her to bond out. I don’t think liberal or conservative had anything to do with it, but let us note that Texas is a conservative state. Chances are the judge is a Republican and was appointed by a Republican. Morally, I think it’s wrong to shoot someone in the course of an argument over a parking space. Legally, the woman with the gun probably has a strong defense. There is a lot we don’t know that will be investigated in full by the police. There might be a lot of evidence in her favor that causes the prosecutor to drop the case.

  2.  @baumer2504  Walking up on her. The shooter’s name is Nikki. Looks like a slender woman in the video. Both men began approaching her. I can’t tell if the woman was raising her voice, but the man was yelling and looked upset. His body language was aggressive.

  3. The imminent threat is open to interpretation. Would your mind change if the shooter was a woman? The shooter’s name is Nikki. The truth is, there’s a lot we don’t know about the circumstances. But based on what we can see in the video, this woman’s legal justification seems stronger than that of Kyle Rittenhouse. Judging the body language and who is yelling the loudest, the woman appears calm and the burly dude with tattoos on his neck seems overly angry about being asked to move his car. If you think Rittenhouse was justified, it’s hard to see why you wouldn’t think this woman wasn’t also justified. But again, more evidence will come out from the police investigation. I think with young Mr. Rittenhouse, the jury got it right, even though there was evidence that he went out there looking for trouble and that he technically had illegal possession of his rifle. With regard to the judge and the bond, odds are the judge was appointed by a conservative governor. We’re talking about Texas. Also if the prosecutor felt strongly that the woman was a risk, he might have convinced the judge not to grant a bond. In matters of risk, judges are more likely to side with the prosecutor. The probability here is that the woman has a clean record while the shooting victim has a criminal record. Honestly, if you are an advocate for Stand Your Ground laws, it’s surprising that you’d rush to judgement against this woman.

  4.  @nickfries4317  This reminds me of the movie Unforgiven. I’m just paraphrasing here, but I think Clint Eastwood said something like, “You take a man’s parking space, you better arm yourself.”

  5.  @brycekleinschmidt438  It was the man squaring up and approaching the woman (the shooter was a woman, I think) after yelling at her and waving his arms around, that might justify the shooting. The excuse for parking in her parking spot was that they were just dropping the guy off. You don’t even need to park if you’re just dropping someone off. You don’t even need to enter the parking lot. You can just pull over to the curb and let the guy out. I think this was handled wrong by all involved. But there are too many unknowns before we can start assuming anyone is guilty of a crime.

  6. The shooter was a woman. I don’t know what was said because in the video she didn’t seem to be raising her voice. Or the guy that got shot was yelling to loud to hear her. Her body language wasn’t threatening. Another thing to note: right before she fired, BOTH guys were approaching her.

  7.  @kennethrobinson5111  Have you seen the movie Unforgiven? There’s a climactic scene where Clint Eastwood’s character shoots a saloon keeper, and the sheriff says to the crowd in the bar, “You all saw that. He shot an unarmed man.” And then Clint says (I’m paraphrasing here because I don’t remember the exact dialogue), “You steal a man’s parking space, you better arm yourself.” Something like that, although I don’t think it was over a parking space in the movie.

  8.  @jimreilly6933  The shooter was a woman. Her name is Nikki. Note the spelling.

  9. Don’t worry, the 2A supporters will soon be here to defend this woman (and please note, the shooter was a woman). They don’t care what race or gender you are because the second amendment applies to all. Right? Right?

  10. Would it make any difference if the shooter was a woman? I think it does regarding her fear that might legally justify her defending herself.

  11. Was the shooter a man? “Nikki” doesn’t sound like a man’s name. I think she must have a clean record, or there would be no chance that she’d be granted bond. I’m not going to say that tattoos are a sign of criminality, but that guy was covered in tattoos, including his neck. I don’t buy that the judge is a liberal. This is Texas. When was the last time there was a Democrat governor appointing liberal judges to the bench in Texas?
