The dead man, Adkins, approached the driver's car and struck it with a bat or a metal pole. If he was pulling out of a drive-thru, it's possible that he had no way around Adkins.
Self-defense seems reasonable in this case.
Unlike Trayvon, Adkins had a weapon that could be used to harm and/or kill a person.
Try again.
"Unlike Trayvon"? So self defense is not reasonable when your head is being pounded against the ground? You're supposed to lie there and let someone hold you down and fracture your skull?

BOSTON -- An Abington Marine died Sunday after a dispute over a barking dog led another man to allegedly punch him in the face last week.

Another thread started out of spite under the guise of concern. This is a perfect example of why self-defense and SYG are not to be used lightly and SYG sucks. This happened recently, more recently that the Trayvon Martin incident. It took over a month for GZ to be charged and arrested. The same people in here said "The police did their job." and "Allow due process.". Now those people are complaining. This guy claims that he was threatened and that the person that he killed had a bat, but no bat was found. Should we now believe the killer because he says this what happens, or should their be an investigation? I believe their should - I am sure the family of the victim will do whatever they can to seek justice for him. I see nothing wrong with that. What irks me about these threads is the faux concern. You really don't care so stop pretending...you're more transparent than and just as flimsy as a piece of saran wrap.
He should be charged. He shot him because he had a gun and a permit and felt it gave him a license to kill. I want him charged and convicted because without the SYG he would not have killed this young man. I and many other black people wanted they black guy who shot the man in front of his 8 year daughter charged with murder. Now for the best part. This is not the same as TM case. Both men were engaged in this and both knew why. Trayvon never knew what was happening and never will. The problem is this law giving punks the swolle chest and costing lives.

Did you read what I wrote was "unlike Trayvon"? Like, this person was (allegedly) armed and Trayvon wasn't. That was the comparison.

A car weighing thousands of pounds beats a man on foot with a blunt instrument every time. This fact is routinely taught in CCW classes. Does one have to shoot instead of run over or side swipe a threat not pointing a firearm? Really?
So I guess in this case the shooter is wrong to you right RR?
I don't have an opinion yet. I need more evidence. Unlike yourself I don't look at the color of the parties involved and make a decision based on that. I will say that if they have a SYG law and he was attacked then he was justified. The point of this thread isn't so much who is right or wrong but the blatant media bias. You can also tack on the blatant bias of Obama, Holder, Sharpton, Jackson, and most black posters on this forum.
