News article about the incident
A went on a date with a women and while they were lookong for parking the scammer ( Elliot Nix) came up to them saying they could leave their car in the parking lot for $40 dollars. The later learned from an employee at the restaurant that the scammer didn't actually work there so excused himself from the date to go to his car to grab his gun and kill the scammer. He then went back to his date after killing Nix.
Unfortunately, the police started looking for him and the foid ratted him out. But some are speculating that he'll get away with it because of some based laws in Texas
Yee haw
Free him he did nothing wrong
Drama
The courts:
Nix faced two misdemeanor charges from 2022. One was for criminal trespassing and theft of less than $100 and at the time of his death. He also had multiple prior criminal convictions dating back to 2006, including for theft and trespassing, according to court records.
Surely this timehr would have changed his ways

Imagine killing someone and going to prison over losing $40. Darn.
Prison is a good place for a sociopath.
Agreed. The way he calmly walked back to his date like nothing had happened was scary.
I agree. The murderer is obviously a total sociopath and deserves to be in prison, but I don't feel a whole lot of sympathy for the thief... I'm not sure why everyone else here does.
Enjoy being a pos that thinks 40 bucks is worth a life.
when did I say that? Did he “deserve” to die? of course not… I just think we need to make the best of a tragedy…the silver lining of this mess is that we as the public, won’t need worry about these two anymore…I don’t feel sorry for the thief or the murderer…I’m that the way I am choosing to look and think about this…
Gotta love the governor is gladly enabling these kind of people.
So what is your solution?
Comprehensive gun reform and gun buy backs.
Nobody is closing that Pandora's Box without bloodshed. 40M guns in Texas and for quite a number of people, their firearms are part of their personality. You might say "but Australia...". Between October 1996 and September 1997, Australia bought back 650k guns. Thats not even a dent in 40M. Im sure some of you wont like facts.
So we should do nothing then…?
Its tool usage. Mental health issues ares a major contributor to the misuse of said cowtools.

Not only I'm usually the type to say frick criminals, I have a whole post I made compiling videos of criminals getting fricked.
But this one seems off. It's weird. Might be the 'killing a neighbor and going back to his date' part that throws me off. There's something eerie about it
This time I think I'll align with the soys, the shooter must be some sort of psychopath

Yeah there wasn't a threat or anything. He just got assmad and actively hunted the guy down after they parted ways

There's obvious not too much sympathy from me for a presumably serial scammer...but yeah, you're not making yourself to be the good guy if you are directly going out of you way to kill that guy
If you really wanted to go that far, just like, shoot him in the hand or the nuts to get the point across...

The problem with that is that if you leave them alive, you're more likely to get sued.

"Why don't you feel bad about criminals"
The guy probably figured that there is one less scumbag in the world and, therefore, didn't see anything worth stressing over.

Men are more violent if they think you're humilating or challenging them in front of a prospective mate
There's a reason even crazy schizo hobos know to chill when there's man+woman versus just man or just woman

I feel like most people are memeing. It's wrong to do this, we just don't feel bad for the guy.

I'm not. The only reason to be concerned is that actualy psychopaths will use made up crimes as a reason to kill people.

So what? If this psychopath is only targeting criminals, he's doing a public service. Clearly the authorities are unable to maintain order based on how out of control crime is in our society, so I think having deadly (yet law-abiding) vigilante psychopaths operating openly would be a powerful disincentive to both criminals and anarchists.

It's a matter of perspective, one that I wholly empathise with. There's so much crime these days that out of seven billion people, who gives a shit about some smelly, useless criminal? Literally doing the world a favour by wiping that detritus off the face of the planet. Helping fight the good fight. Stopping others from losing $40, etc.
Some people just really could not give a frick about human lives like others do. I never really have, the death of strangers does not affect me in any way and I hold less value and interest for a criminal than I do a cane toad.
