"...Thanks for the clarification, friend..."
<<That other poster won’t watch the video to view the neighborhood to recognize the sheer reckless decisions of the moronic retired firefighter.
Now that I’m a bit calmer... I get where the anger was coming from with DiogenesLamp’s defense of the retired firefighter. I don’t excuse it, but I understand it to some extent.
Still, if one is to expect a consistent approach to law enforcement, there oughta be some standard we should all adhere to, otherwise it all falls apart. I don’t know know what was going on in that fellow’s head when he decided to shoot at the kid, but logic dictates that even in the heat of the moment, he was unlawful in firing his weapon at a someone retreating... especially in this case, with no injury or threat to the person.
He had his chance to defend himself in a jury of his peers and they decided his action was not appropriate. I would agree with their decision. We all have our opinions...
