A question for the Surly Law Brigade:

Let's say that the person taking that video sees the old man pull that gun, feels that his or her life is in imminent danger (as seems likely they did due to their rapid displacement to another location), and instead of running pulls a firearm of their own and perforates the shit out of the old guy.  Would that not clearly be a case of self defense and justifiable homicide under Texas law?  If not, why not?

They’d be fine if I were on their jury. Fuck that guy.

That's valid self defense in almost any jurisdiction.
