That is an absolute crock of manure!

I said could have been argued for, that doesn’t mean the charge was justifiable. There are many situations where a hotheaded person gets killed because of their actions. The issue is when is a good Samaritan going to far. People have died being restrained as a result of shoplifting. The person had a right to restrain the individual but could the situation have been better solved? That is merely the point I was trying to make. As I side Martin would have gotten himself killed sooner or later because of his behavior.
