Texan fatally shoots man for briefly parking in his driveway

Having said what I said, it is the courteous thing to do to at least try not to park in front of someone else’s house so that people can unload groceries and stuff for the yard and whatnot. We have big stuff we always lug in and out for work and we have physical issues that make it a PITA if we have to go further than necessary.

I thought the whole point of stand your ground laws was to protect certain privileged murderers from the horrors of a rigorous fact finding investigation that might possibly prove them to be in the wrong.

In a suburban or rural neighborhood where there is an abundance of empty curbside parking, that is an option. But not in any of the Bay Area neighborhoods I’ve lived in, where parking is at a premium and if there is a spot you take it - there aren’t enough parking spaces to be left unused in the name of permanently reserving an empty space in front of a house for one person.

When I lived in Chicago, I was happy if I snagged parking within 2 or 3 blocks.

Remind me again, Texas lawmakers, what property can possibly be worth a human life?
