"A Central Texas man has been charged with murder in the driveway shooting of a motorist who had pulled into his driveway. Terry Duane Turner, 65, of Martindale, Texas, turned himself in Friday after an arrest warrant accused him of murdering Adil Dghoughi in the early morning of Oct. 11. Investigators said Turner shot the 31-year-old Moroccan immigrant as the man was backing out of Turner's driveway about 3:40 a.m. -- After the shooting, Turner told a 911 operator that the motorist had pulled a gun on him. Investigators said they found no firearm in the car."

An attorney representing Dghoughi's family, said Dghoughi's windows were closed when he was shot. "The bullet entered his hand before it entered his head." Turner turned himself in the day after a warrant was issued for his arrest and was released on a $150,000 bond. The almost two-week delay in Turner's arrest by Martindale and Caldwell County authorities drew criticism from Dghoughi's family and supporters, including the Council on American Islamic Relations.

If some strange car pulls into your driveway, why can't you open fire on that car and protect your family?? Especially if this happens after 3 am...and especially when the driver of the car is a Muslim foreigner...possibly with terrorist ties...Anytime you have organizations like CAIR supporting you, chances are you are a terrorist...why would this police department bow to a bunch of Muslim terrorists and issue an arrest warrant?

They are making a big deal of the allegation that the homeowner lied and said the Muslim guy had a gun and that is why he had to shoot him...How do we know he lied?? Yea, there was no gun at the scene; but if the homeowner believed he saw a gun, then he was justified to open fire.....The charges should have never been filed..Caldwell county is a good Conservative county, why are they allowing this to happen??

Well, justice is going the route it should take in this situation.....

No, not for just pulling into someone's driveway. I've pulled into many driveways of people I don't know simply to turn around. I'm glad I didn't get shot. I've also gone to the wrong house an knocked on the door when I was looking for a friend's house. Not a reason to be shot.

No, you can't just shoot someone who pulls into your driveway even at 3am, they might be lost or simply turning around. The real legal key here is the victim was backing out of the driveway, in essence retreating, you shoot him or her in this or similar instances, you're criminally liable.
Now if Dghoughi had a gun and opened fire first or threatened Turner with the gun or tried to run Turner down with his vehicle or exited his vehicle with the obvious intent of doing Turner or his family harm then yeah turner would have been withing his rights to defend himself and his family.

Well, I am pretty sure you are not scary looking...so that is a factor....However, there are plenty of situations where people were shot for going to the wrong house..people who looked very scary.....people up to no good....

For example, a few months ago.....a man shot a teenager because he was obviously knocking on the door, attempting to break in.....Maybe he wasn't breaking in, maybe he was...who knows....what matters is that the homeowner had reason to fear a break in, therefore he had reason to open fire...I mean, look at this kid...

Our nation has trended this way from the events of the last few years or so. Trust is reduced. Infringing on peoples property has been seen as a right. Whatever the owner's views on others, he may have not done a thing if we did not experience the riots in cities and neighborhoods with him seen as the enemy and cause of all the world's problems.

Yea, that's it....

He was sort of justified to do it in a way because people see him as the enemy.....

However, the muslim guy -- whom people also see as the enemy -- if the roles were reversed and he shot someone...would you afford him the same rationalization??

Doubt it....

I see you are triggered by the fact I think its wrong to shoot people just because you are a scared lil cuck..

However, with you admittedly saying you are a scared little cuck who only talks shit online -- I see why you may feel justified to shoot people based off your paranoid fears...

Must be tough being a cowardly little cuck...

I GUARANTEE you, the shit I say here, I will say to your face.....

 

[whitehall]

The system works. You can't kill someone in your driveway even at 3:30 in the morning.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

They are making a big deal of the allegation that the homeowner lied and said the Muslim guy had a gun and that is why he had to shoot him...How do we know he lied?? Yea, there was no gun at the scene;

A smart homeowner would keep a spare, unregistered gun to throw in the car after he murders the guy for having the gall to turn around in his driveway.
