Houston activists call for arrest of armed taqueria diner who shot, killed robbery suspect
Too bad they can't be deported back to the Caliphornia or New York that burped them up.
[FOXNEWS] Community activist muppets in Houston are calling for a restaurant patron who shot and killed a robbery suspect during a holdup to be arrested, saying he went beyond self-defense despite many calling him a hero.

Customers were eating inside a local taqueria when 30-year-old Eric Eugene Washington entered and pointed a pistol at them and demanded cash. As he gathered the cash, an armed patron can be seen on surveillance video getting up from the booth he was sitting in and shooting his pistol at Washington multiple times.

"He was within the law when he fired the first initial shots," said activist muppet Quanell X in a news conference in front of the establishment. "But we believe he went from being a law-abiding citizen to a lawbreaker."

Seeing camera time, national fame and awareness..PLUS $$$$$$$. The Houston Activists Political Agenda entrepreneurs jump on the opportunity to cash in using a nationally known incident for personal gains.

BTW: Regarding the shooting. I was OK with the defensive actions. But when he administered the coup de grâce to an obvious already neutralized thug that is where the issues started.

So I guess he could be charged with Texas Penal Code - § 42.08. Abuse of Corpse. which could get him from 180 days to 2 years and up to a $10K fine.

#6 These people want prison sentences only for people who do good things, not for criminals.
After all, if the hero had been a policeman instead, this would be a cause celebre with rioting all over the country denouncing police brutality.

#8 Here's the thing, the prosecutor isn't going to do crap, cause even in Harris county, juries will either no bill or deliver a not guilty verdict. Many people here feel that the moment that guy walked in with a gun to rob the place, he forfeited everything and whatever he got is just desserts. It makes the Lefty DA's froth at the mouth but they would rather not charge than wind up with a loss.

#9 The DA might huff and puff to try to bluff the guy into a victorious win-win plea deal.
