When a much younger man shoves someone half his age to the ground, I feel no sorrow for any consequences the younger man faces.
His violent reaction to what should have been a discussion was Thug behavior. The deceased instigated the violence.
When you start physical assaults, you must be prepared for a counter attack.
I'm in the middle. Like I've posted previously, chastising someone doesn't mean you can push the guy and being pushed doesn't mean you should shoot someone.
To me, they were both wrong, but the guy who did the pushing was wrong first. People who claim chastising someone started it must be quick to escalate situations that aren't initially violent.
I agree to an extent, but you have to analyze the entire incident.
- Victim comes out of store and sees a man aggressively arguing with his wife face to face.
- Victim has no idea what’s going and shoves the aggressive man in what I assume was an attempt to protect and create separation between shooter and the female.
- Shooter pulls his weapon and aims towards the attacker
- Inital attacker sees weapon and begins to retreat no longer posing a threat to the shooter.
- Shooter pulls trigger and kills man.
This is not a clear cut case of SYG and I predict the shooter will be charged soon.
The guy who shot that man should have minded his own business about the parking space. He wanted to be a tough guy because he had a gun. Now he has to worry about the victims family going after him.
If he has to fear the family perhaps he had good reason to fear for his life.
In California this would be a clear cut and the shooter would be in jail for Manslaughter or some kind of Murder charge. You cannot escalate a situation in this state unless you are in imminent danger...the Stand Your Ground law is trash.
Right, we all know what a pillar of law and order CA is! In CA, anyone caught beating on an old white guy is considered a hero.

In CA they acquitted the illegal immigrant who shot the girl (by accident supposedly). So I'm guessing they'd acquit this individual acting in self defense as well.

Stop trying to change the narrative. You're retired now, right? No need to make up excuses.
Well guess what he isn't some young kid. He is a middle aged man. If you don't see it as a violent shove then that's your opinion. I definitely see it as a violent shove. I also believe the shooter is 100% wrong for discharging his firearm. The deceased was walking backwards and the shooter had to have seen that. The shooter should be arrested for what he did. I am not making excuses for anyone. Please stop being triggered for someone who is giving an honest evaluation on what he sees. Lastly I am 100% right when I say the states attorney will have the last say on the issue.
