Not very smart of him!

Clear display of dumbassery

Unfortunately, people are farking stupid.

As a father of six kids you would think he would have thought this thru alittle bit further.

The guy should have called the cops and gone inside his house. If they had broke into his house he would have had a better reason to use force but not some loud mouth out on the lawn. Now he'll be in the pokie for a long time with his life and that of his family ruined. Not very bright.

Its idiots like that that give the rest of us a bad name. Clearly people forget about the "aggressor" part of self defense claims.

You guys may be missing a more important underlying message in this. The media ran with it hoping to degrade support for "stand your ground" laws. They don't give a rats ass about this guy or his family nor the victim or his family.

If you read between the lines, you can see their true intent. What a bunch of phonys!

He recorded his own conviction.

He kept screaming "My life is in danger", and "I am in fear for my life", but he didn't look that way.

Don't see anyway he wasn't the agressor.

He had the right to ask a neighbor to turn down the noise...and somehow he turned a simple request into a confrontation. And it seems to me that he turned it into a confrontation b/c he had a gun.

Wutamess

He kept screaming "My life is in danger", and "I am in fear for my life", but he didn't look that way.

and he sounded very convincing too....

oh....ah....I'm scared....whatever will I do....ah....my life is in danger....oh.....ah.....I will defend myself if I have to.....Oh ah.......If I have to I will defend myself....oh.....ah......fail

Man who claimed self-defense sentenced to 40 years for killing neighbor

A man who claimed Texas' version of a stand-your-ground law allowed him to fatally shoot a neighbor after an argument about a noisy party was sentenced Wednesday to 40 years for murder.

Raul Rodriguez, 46, had faced up to life in prison for the 2010 killing of Kelly Danaher.

Rodriguez, a retired Houston-area firefighter, was angry about the noise coming from a birthday party at his neighbor's home. He went over and got into an argument with 36-year-old elementary school teacher Danaher and two other men at the party.
