Neighbors arguing over trash. Looks like fat white trash father and son come ready with a pistol and a cut down PGO Shotgun. Big loud mouth forgot to bring his gun but he brought his mouth and attitude.

Kind of like the commercial; you asked for it you got it............

The fat white trash guy with the pistol was the calmest one of the bunch. He warned the loud mouth many times. Loud mouth would be alive today if he wasn't showing off and had called the cops.

Dramatic footage of a fatal shooting of a man that stemmed from a heated argument with his father-and-son neighbors over where to dump a mattress has emerged.

A West Texas man was shot and killed on September 1 and a father and son have been arrested on murder charges over what a police chief calls a neighborhood dispute about trash.

Police responded to calls about shots fired around 10.15 a.m. and located the victim, 37-year-old Aaron Howard, who died at a hospital.

John Miller, 67, and 31-year-old Michael Miller were arrested on murder charges over the death of Howard.

Howard was shot dead as his brother and fiancee witnessed the horrific incident first-hand, according to the Star-Telegram.






So what do you think? Murder or Self Defense?


One thing is for sure neither one of them should have come out without a shirt.[;)]

    The Shooters should have just backed away.

    In the story, it's said that the receiver of the Lead Chill Pills was handed a Bat from his Brother in Law. If he had it in his hand at the time, that may change things.

    Yep. People like that don't usually live to a ripe old age.

    be careful what you tell some one
    I would bet a split second, if he lived that long he thought oh crap I should have kept my mouth shut

    never piss off and threaten to kill a good boy holding a gun on you


    I will wager they both will regret the shooting as the straps are being tightened up on there arms

    Need more info. There isn't enough information in the article or video to be able to make a decision. For example, if the Millers had started the argument, they can no longer claim self defense. So need more info.

    Based on what a I saw it's appropriate to let a jury decide. If the shirtless men were truly scared for their lives then they would have made an attempt to remove themselves from the situation. Plenty of time elapsed that would have allowed them to back away, had the guy in the orange shirt pursued then they'd have a better claim to self defense.

    It was in a public alley way, and the argument was over the dead guy having tossed a masstress into a dumpster.

    I think the fat little shirtless guy should have backed away & called the cops. Standing his ground in this matter only escalated the situation, and too me it seemed like he wanted an excuse to shoot the dead guy...[V]

    I think they should have put their guns down, and let the dead guy & the little tub of lard son with the shotgun duke it out...[;)]

    It?s sad it resulted in someone gettin killed, but I think the murder charges are correct, which will probably be down graded to manslaughter, and time served. In six month the fat shirtless guy will be back on dumpster patrol.

    His fat son maybe not so much. After all is said & down he will probably get abused so bad in jail that he will be using a bag to pi$$ in, and scooting around in a wheelchair ...[^]

    I agree the guys with the guns should have backed up and let it go for the time but with that said,,the guy killed threatened to kill them many many times in the clip,,They could claim too afraid to retreat,,if they backed up the guy could have attacked,, I do not know how the stand your ground laws work in Texas,, the guy was given a base ball bat and was threatening to kill them so we will see in court.
    edit,,just watching the clip again,,right at the end its hard too see but the old man supposedly fired the handgun,,why did he fall off toward the left before the younger one fired the shotgun,,did the orange shirt guy swing or hit him with the ball bat before the younger one fired ??

    I saw this too. I think the guy in the orange shirt took a swing with the baseball bat to the old man and that started the shooting. The old man either took a hit from the bat or the dude punched him. The shooters may get off the hook on this.

    Not enough information to make a call. Charge them and send it to trial.

    I?m adding baseball bat to my list of things not to take to a gunfight.

    If the orange shirt guy was advancing on the fat guy with a bat while saying ?I?m going to kill you?, he has a case for self defense. Texas juries are pretty good at figuring out if somebody ?needed killing?.

    Why would they have to be "scared for their lives"?

    If a sniper had to be "Scared for his life", the military would be worthless. They are enemy combatants and need to be planted.

    Dead guy had a number of choices he could have made, and chose the final option.
