Remember when Bernie Goetz shot 4 dudes with an illegal firearm in the NYC subway ? The jury aquited him of every charge except unlawful possesion of a firearm.
shit has been fucked. shit don't change. That was 1984.
This is 2013. Shit don't change.
Here is what Goetz did after shooting the 4 kids in the subway
He went home to gather some belongings, then rented a car and drove north to Bennington, Vermont, where he burned his blue jacket and dismantled the revolver, scattering the pieces in the woods north of town. He drove around New England for several days, registering at motels under various names and paying in cash. On December 26, an anonymous hotline caller told New York City police that Goetz matched the gunman's description, owned a gun, and had been mugged previously.
sounds like a man with something to hide huh? Jury didn't give a fuck. In NYC you can kill someone
Section 35.15, "A person may not use deadly physical force upon another person... unless... He reasonably believes that such other person is committing or attempting to commit [one of certain enumerated predicate offenses, including robbery]."
It's not just Texas or Florida.
