So far you've established that you don't even know your own states self-defense laws, and resorted to personal attacks.
I haven't seen any charges pressed against roadkill for menacing.
I haven't seen any behaviors from roadkill that would constitute evidence supporting a charge of menacing.
Menacing is a Class A misdemeanor and does not give the victim the right to exercise deadly force. I see you edited that one line out from the section of the penal code
Next?
A person is guilty of menacing in the second degree when: 1. He or she intentionally places or attempts to place another person in reasonable fear of physical injury, serious physical injury or death by displaying a deadly weapon, dangerous instrument or what appears to be a pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun, machine gun or other firearm; or 2. He or she repeatedly follows a person or engages in a course of conduct or repeatedly commits acts over a period of time intentionally placing or attempting to place another person in reasonable fear of physical injury, serious physical injury or death; or 3. He or she commits the crime of menacing in the third degree in violation of that part of a duly served order of protection, or such order which the defendant has actual knowledge of because he or she was present in court when such order was issued, pursuant to article eight of the family court act, section 530.12 of the criminal procedure law, or an order of protection issued by a court of competent jurisdiction in another state, territorial or tribal jurisdiction, which directed the respondent or defendant to stay away from the person or persons on whose behalf the order was issued. Menacing in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor. - See more at: N.Y. PEN. LAW § 120.14 : NY Code - Section 120.14: Menacing in the second degree

2. Here's everything you need to know about castle doctrine (or whatever you call it) here in TX: Everyone here is armed and everyone here WILL shoot you if they find you in their home. If you want to argue legal technicalities with a TX homeowner pointing a gun at you, go right ahead.

New York also allows the use of reasonable force against home invasion.
