    “I need 10 dudes in Dallas with determination (guts) who aren’t afraid to” kill, which Aguilar allegedly communicated by finishing the sentence with two skull emojis.

    The argument for skull emojis meaning kill seems like a stretch from the prosecutors

      Yeah, isn’t this “aren’t afraid to [die]”? People don’t usually ask “are you afraid to kill?”. Like, the later isn’t a totally invalid question, but it’s a weird way to approach it, while “not afraid to die” is a pretty straightforward sort of statement.
