In an incident in Lufkin, Texas, one man lost his life in an overnight shooting shortly after being discharged from the Angelina County Jail. The deceased convict, identified as Jarvis Houston, 47, met a fatal fate when he encountered a man at a business establishment on East Lufkin Avenue, where the man was present with his wife and infant.
According to reports, Houston approached the family as they sat inside their vehicle at the business location. Despite being warned and even offered an alternative vehicle, Houston allegedly attempted to steal the car, prompting the man to open fire, resulting in Houston being shot. The fatal encounter unfolded less than an hour following Houston's release from jail on charges related to assault and family violence.
Following the shooting, Houston was rushed to a nearby hospital for urgent medical attention. He succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment.

Law enforcement officials indicated that surveillance footage from the business corroborated the man's version of events leading up to the shooting. Based on the evidence and circumstances, authorities have stated that no charges are anticipated against the man involved in the shooting, reasoning that the incident appears to be a case of self-defense.
Nevertheless, as standard protocol, the case will be forwarded to the Angelina County District Attorney's Office for further review and consideration.

At least Texas has sanity left. In Maryland they would charge the father.
Well, at least some good news for a change.
The feels-good story of the day!
why is the headline not prefaced w/ “And the feel good story of the day is”
The surprise here is he made it to 47.
Agreed. One hour out from incarceration and already recidivistic. Wow, that may be a record.
AFN takes a long dirt nap when he should never have been released for prison in the first place.
Can’t fix ignorant….except with a bullet. Good shooting
I disagree. There are wood chippers, toasters and bath tubs, knives for that really close in experience, baseball bats, tire irons there are many other ways besides bullets my friend.
Just so long as somebody has the guts to USE one of the “Options”, and the woke bureaucrats are prevented from reversing the positive outcome by persecuting the victim.
Feel-good story of the day!
Almost like the stock photo used for the story. Almost..
Sorry, we didn’t get our team on scene quick enough to get a licensed picture to use for you. Next time maybe…
One dead dumb M.F.’er !!!
He will probably find his next “Judge” even less likely to show leniency – God exists and is the only true arbiter of Justice !
With Soros ‘running’ our judicial systems, expect more such incidents.
I’m amazed that the most heavily armed society on the planet allows psychopath billionaire elites to compromize their judicial, medical, agriculture, financial, military & security systems right in the open — without even a ptriotic community smack down.
Admit it, the freedom & liberty luvin taxpaying sheep masses have allowed this degeneracy to metastasize for decades.
I won’t argue your point. The Left capitalizes on our overall law-abiding nature. However, don’t forget that 3% +/- colonists actually took up arms against England, and managed to defeat THE most powerful army in the world at the time. Whatever our tipping point turns out to be, it will be readily identified as such at the time.
If I were a benevolent dictator, first order of business is having my “security” forces round up all degenerate repeat violent offenders, thugs & miscreants off our streets and send them on a one-way ticket for God to “sort out”.
Next, I’d have a decree that any feminist ratchet “I don’t need a man” baby mamma hood rat hoes, who breed like rabbits while offloading their problem thug spawn onto society, will be rounded up and either sent to the man upstairs to sort em out… Or…
Maybe have them thrown in a womens correctional institute with strict disciplinary rules for 5 YEARS where they must complete re-orientation training on HOW to be decent respectable conservative women. In addition, they will also have a CHOICE to select MANDATORY training in 1 of 20 in-demand blue collar/technical/hospitality/services careers (ie. gardening, farming, basic tech support, customer service, bookeeping, writing/communications, computer graphic/web development, etc) where they MUST pass a practical hands-on & theoretical exam with a combined grade of 65% or higher in order to return to society as a productive “woman”. If she fails both reorientation training & career training, an extra 2 years is added onto her sentence where she will have to redo all training. There shouldn’t be a 3rd chance if ya know what I mean.
Another thing…
I TOTALLY agree with comedian Chris Rock: “I like black people but i hate ni9gas.”
