HE KILLED HIM

Added: 2026-05-30

[00:00:00]Now, I don't know all the facts of this case, but the story is that a man in Oklahoma owned properties, was checking on them, encountered a squatter, was threatened, felt threatened, fired on him, killing the squatter, and they have criminally charged the guy. I want to say just first off and foremost, I don't know all of the details of this case. On the surface, based on what I read, this looks like clearcut selfdefense.

[00:00:27]Ain't nobody likes squatters, but you don't just assume a dude who broke into your HOUSE IS A SQUATTER. THEY GOT A new show coming out on a A and I see all these clips on Instagram and it's amazing. So, it's they they find these houses where they're squatters and this guy moves in and then he like bangs pots and pans and he like he puts a lock on the bathroom and he gets a lease and he's like, "Hey, I live here too now.

[00:00:50]We're roommates." In one he like brought a snake into the house and the squatters are freaking out. Let's talk about squatters, baby. And I want to say this Timothy Smith guy charged with first-degree manslaughter of the fatal shooting. This is Oklahoma. How is this possible? How is this possible? Let's read this. Let's read this and we're going to We got We got to see what this is all about. Oklahoma homeowner fatally shoots suspected squatter found living with girlfriend inside vacant house.

[00:01:17]They say an Oklahoma City homeowner was charged or he allegedly killed a squatter whom he found shacking up with a girlfriend inside one of his vacant homes. Timothy Smith discovered Justin King in a bedroom with an unidentified woman in the residence in southwest Oklahoma City on May 1st. The 59-year-old landlord, who was armed with a handgun and accompanied by his daughter, engaged in an argument with King, ordering him to leave the property. They give the address, I guess. Police alleged that Smith aimed the gun at King and fired, striking the squatter in the neck during the confrontation. Police I'm sorry, Smith told police that King had stepped toward him before the fatal shot. According to the outlet, Smith and his daughter had arrived at the home that day armed as the neighborhood had been having problems with the homeless in recent months. Smith defended his actions, admitting he didn't see King with any weapons, but the suspected trespasser shouldn't have been in the house in the first place. It wouldn't happen if you weren't there. I'm with this guy. Free Timothy Timothy Smith. Free him. Does he got a GoFundMe? I will I will I will help him out. King was hospitalized for over a week after the shooting before he was pulled off life support. Smith initially was charged with assault and better the deadly weapon, but prosecutors upgraded the charge to first-degree manslaughter for King's death. He also faces one count of reckless counter to the firearm. You evil evil people. I just can't do this, man. I I I buy a house, okay? I buy a house. I want to I want to build it up.

[00:02:39]I want to rent it out. Okay. It's a business. It's a business. I take care of the property. Renttor comes and lives with it. Everybody wins, right? That's called mutual exchange. I go inside and there's a strange man. I don't know what he is. I I I I don't know who he is. I don't know what he's doing. I don't know why he's there. He makes a move towards me. Am I supposed to be like it is incumbent upon me, the victim of a crime, TO WAIT TO FIGURE OUT IF THIS guy is going to attack me or my daughter?

[00:03:08]This is insanity. This should be an openandshot case. You break into someone's house, you confront them, you put them in fear of safety, you die.

[00:03:20]I, you know, you know, I'm very very uh strong on this one because of the death threats that I face. And I'm just imagining like what would happen if I was with my wife and daughter going to one of our properties. We have several properties. Some are businesses. We got some Airbnbs, some uh uh you know are commercial. I show up and I see a guy and I got to sit there and be like, "Let me first ask questions of you, sir." who is threatening me to try and figure out the legal cir. No, you're trespassing in my house. I don't know who you are and I'm not going. It is not my fault. I have to wait now to this BS, man.

[00:03:57]Absolute BS.

[00:03:59]Smith was booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center is being held on $25,000 bond. Defense lawyers opposed the use of force against King for simply trespassing inside the home. There's not the death penalty for squatting in the state of Oklahoma. You can't just take a gun in and shoot somebody. So, you see what they're doing? These evil people.

[00:04:18]Criminal defense attorney Ed Blau told Koko, "Okay, criminal defense attorney, criminal, uh, you you guys are evil.

[00:04:27]It's not Timothy Smith's fault that a crime was committed against him. That's it. I understand there's no death penalty for squatting, but if you are a threat to someone and committing a crime, let me put it this way. Let me put this way. Uh, is there a death penalty for squatting? No. What crime would you be charged with if you are say robbing a convenience store and in the process let's let's just let's play. So you go to a conven guy goes guy goes in the convenience store. He's got a gun.

[00:04:54]He points at the clerk and he says empty the register. The guy then has a heart attack panic and then collapses dead.

[00:05:03]Yeah. What crime will you be charged with? Yeah. Seconddegree murder. You created the circumstance by which the person died. Even if they had a heart defect, it's true. You know, maybe not absolutely. It really depends on the prosecutor and the evidence in the case and things like this. Let's try again.

[00:05:17]Let's try again. You are robbing a convenience store, right? And the clerk, you point the gun at him and he screams and he turns to the right to run away.

[00:05:27]Trips on his shoelace, bashes his head on the counter, shattering glass, falls down dead. Guess what you're getting charged with? That's right. Second degree murder. uh maybe more. They might argue that the use of the gun shows the intent to commit a murder, that you premeditated the actions by which you could kill a person. Now, don't get me wrong, these day and age, this day and age, uh what would likely happen is, so let let's do this New York and California style. A guy walks into a convenience store with a gun, points at the store clerk, and says, "Give me all your money or die." The store clerk freaks out, turns to run, trips on his shoelace, bashes his head on the counter, shattering glass, falls on the ground, and dies. The police show up.

[00:06:14]They apologize to the criminal. He he some of the glass flew up and cut his face. So, they criminally charge the corpse of the store clerk for uh reckless endangerment, and they issue a cash payment to the criminal. That's that's basically what's going on in these places these days. I mean, look at what's happening. Dude broke into his house, made a move towards him that that that put this guy in fear of death. He defended himself without question, and they locked up the victim. The victim is in jail. These people are We live in a deranged, psychotic society.

[00:06:49]At trial, I'm sure the defense will be self-defense. What's going to make that difficult? He told the police that he didn't see a weapon in the hand of the victim. That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. the the the he has a gun. The guy's coming toward him. He doesn't know who he is. He doesn't know why he's on in his house. He doesn't know what's going on. His daughter's with him. He's scared. That's it. And he says, "I am not going to wait to find out if this man is going to put hands on me or my child." The attorney broke down different scenarios for a homeowner self a self-defense claim. If a trespasser or a burglar breaks in and comes into your home that you live in and you're there, you can pretty much shoot them or do whatever you want. In a situation like this, it's an abandoned house. It's much different. You can't go in, put yourself in a situation and say, "This is my house, so I felt they had the right to shoot him." Except you go into a property you own. There is someone who has broken into it. Let's let's let's try this again. The game they're playing, this is what these liberals and these lefties do. It's the you should have been psychic argument. I walk into a house. Let's try another scenario.

[00:07:47]There's a man and a woman in a bedroom.

[00:07:49]You say they're squatters. Then it turns out one of the guys doing a drug deal using the vacant property the in order to conceal their activities. and you don't see a weapon. He steps towards you. You say, "Well, he might be a squatter, so I better not shoot him."

[00:08:03]And then he pulls the gun out and puts two in your chest. Why should I, as the victim, have to wait to find out what a criminal is doing when I am being threatened and they are committing a crime?

[00:08:16]Absolute insanity.

[00:08:18]This person, the top comment says, "We have given the government too much power. When a person gets charged for protecting himself from intruders in his own house, we need to ask ourselves why we have given the government the power to strip us of our rights. We are forced to pay t many taxes, property sales, income, congestion tax, and and so on.

[00:08:34]What do we get for it? Squatters are given more rights than a taxpaying homeowner. Yep. Indeed. I don't get it.

[00:08:40]He owns multiple homes, walks in one of them, is confronted by an intruder. How is that not self-defense? Indeed.

[00:08:46]Oklahoma homeowner Timothy Smith did exactly what needed to be done. A suspected squatter breaks into your vacant house, you have every right to defend your property with deadly force.

[00:08:55]No homeowner should have to negotiate with or fear trespassers. Again, how does he know he's a squatter?

[00:09:03]How does the they're making the psychic argument? Well, he should have presumed it was a humble old homeless person just trying to live. Why should he assume that? I ain't going to assume that. This is what really bothers me about a lot of what we see in like New York with Squatters, too. Check this out. This is This shows looks fantastic, right?

[00:09:20]Squatterers, a new A&E original series.

[00:09:23]Flash Shelton and his team of specialists take on high stakes missions to help victims reclaim their their homes. Victims indeed.

[00:09:32]I always say this, guys. It is strange to me. I I watch this one news report where a woman goes to her house. She she inherited a property from her parents.

[00:09:39]Her mom died. She shows up, the locks are changed, she can't get in, and then it turns out someone's living in the house, a squatter, and so she calls the police and the police say, "This is a civil dispute." And I'm just like, why? Okay, I'm going to tell you this.

[00:09:57]If I go to a house that I own, and we regularly check on our all our houses, we keep up with them. We use them. Uh we we we use them for other like I live in them. So, every house I own, I live in.

[00:10:08]So, if I go to my house and the lock is changed, that's weird. My key must not be working. I'm not going to presume the lock was changed. If the door won't open, my key is maybe bad. I'm kicking the door open. I'm busting the window open. It's my house. I live there. If there is someone in that house, there is now an intruder threatening me in this house. I don't understand why people make the immediate assumption, this must be a humble squatter who has said to live in property they don't own. The first assumption I make when someone is in my house and should not be there is it's a home invasion.

[00:10:43]And if I call the police, I'm not going to be like, "Well, I heard on TV a thing about squatters, so maybe this person is trying to live here." I'm going to say, "There's a home invasion. I'm fearing for my life. Please help me." It's it's my my point is this. The likelihood that someone in your house is a squatter is small, slim to none. the likelihood they're an intruder with ill intent and may kill you is very very very very very very very high but for some reason there are a lot of people that are just like I don't know I don't know why they're in there and the cops show up and go okay well civil dispute why are you making any assumptions if someone this is what the crazy thing is right I heard this story where some dude uh printed out a letter with an address on it or it was like I forgot what he did he he it was something like it it was like a a con game trick. Filled out a bunch of sweep stakes sweep sweep stakes forms and then like got a got a a prepaid mobile phone using an address.

[00:11:43]Then when they broke into the house, apparently this person had done it multiple times setting up fake squats broke in to rob the place and when got caught made the claim here's mail proving I live here. I'm not breaking in. So, the police instead of arresting a home invader intent on murdering and robbing THE PLACE WENT, "OH, MAN." I can't remember. I can't remember exactly when this was. I was reading something about it and I think what ended up happening is that uh he ended up like this was when the he finally got caught and had something to do with they they they tracked that he was setting up he was intentionally creating uh um getting businesses to mail him letters to houses so that in the event if he got caught robbing them he would say here's a letter proving I lived there and they'd be like there there's a letter sent to the in his name with this address so when he broke into the house to rob them if the cops showed up He'd be like, "Bro, I live here. Look, here's a letter. It proves it. This it's it's it's insane. It's insane that we live in this reality." So, I I I I saw the clips of this Flash Shelton guy. It looks like a great show. It's really entertaining.

[00:12:50]You know, we'll see. Not sponsored by anything. I'm just pointing it out. I think Timothy Smith should he he should be freed. He did nothing wrong. Again, I don't know the full facts of the case.

[00:13:00]Maybe he went in there and yelled, "Is there a squatter in here?" And the guy went, "Yes, I'm squatting." He's like, "Well, now I'm going to end you." It's like, "Okay, what's a different story?"

[00:13:05]Right? I'm going to wrap it up there.
