You shouldn't be pushing on people for starters, and he was far from being a saint. Fact is if him and his girlfriend weren't breaking the law he'd still be alive.Bright Raven":3nvyi9xz said:How do you justify shooting a man - ending his life - taking everything he has or any future he has - because he pushed you down!!!!!!!!!!
The Gods are weeping.

I think your probably right. One of the videos showed the guy take a step towards the guy on the ground right before he fired.Bright Raven":1ufig591 said:True Grit Farms":1ufig591 said:You shouldn't be pushing on people for starters, and he was far from being a saint.

Taken on what is stated, this shooting is not justified and I will speculate that he is convicted on manslaughter.
For defending himself from getting beat to death by a thug?TennesseeTuxedo":3ri18yle said:I hope the dead man's family sue him into oblivion.

You don't have time to think, yet thoughts flash through your mind.
You think next he will kick you in the head.
Bump on the head, slight concussion, serious injury, permanent disability, death?
So some of you think the thing to do is wait to find out.
This is not third grade tussling on the school ground at recess.
I think your right, self-defense to me is when someone is within a couple of arms length of me. Not 12 to 15' and possibly backing up.JMJ Farms":2v0nhpqf said:Ryder":2v0nhpqf said:I have been in the position the shooter was in but I did not have a firearm.

If you can't think in a situation like that then you shouldn't be carrying a deadly weapon. You can't shoot first and think later. Hard for someone to kick you in the head when they are backing away from you. I'm fine with the fact that he drew on him. But based on the video he was not justified in pulling the trigger.
Maybe there is something I didn't see. Looks to me that he pulled his pistol, the guy kinda picked his hands up, and then took a step or two away from the man with the gun. There was a pause and then he shot. I think his anger got the best of him. I'm a very strong advocate of our 2nd amendment and of "stand your ground" but I think it may have been abused here.

This is another good example of why you need to finish what you started. If your going to assault someone you might as well assault them.Bestoutwest":1p1vhut8 said:This guy sounds like a loose cannon (sorry for the bad pun). It seems like he has a history of being overly aggressive and a self appointed traffic vigilante. Think about what you would do if someone accosted your wife, g/f, daughter, etc. I'd get a bit unhappy, too. Being pushed down for being an a-hole isn't the end of the world, nor should it be the catalyst for ending someone's life. Society is better off with guys like this off the street.
