Good God, you're actually defending this attacker after he assaulted who he thought was an unarmed person?
Answer me this: Have you ever had any stranger throw an object into your face? What would you believe would be the purpose of such an attack? This idiot wanted a response. He was begging for a response. He hoped to punish a man in his seventies with a severe beating at the very least.
Tell me, did the attacker commit a felony or not? Was the action of taking the ex-cops popcorn by force and flinging it at him a crime?
If somebody is willing to commit such a crime before witnesses, what would convince you that the crime was going to end with just the robbery and assault? Or was the attacker going to punch the old man into unconsciousness and leave the theater? How much of a reaction from the ex-cop would have generated just such a response?
?? What? Of course I've had things tossed at me, been in fights etc...
Did I shoot anyone to death? Of course not. There would be a trail of dead victims a block long....Gezzzz
Tell me, did the attacker commit a felony or not?
Good grief...Ya think if they just had an argument and pop corn was tossed, any jury on the planet would convict either one of a GD "felony"?"
Get real buddy.
You seem extremely desperate here in your defense of this murdering cold blooded chicken s**t.
BTW, there was no felony here and no jury would ever convict either one of a felony if all there had been was a common verbal dispute with pop corn being tossed.
People don't get convicted of felonies and or sent to state prison over minor disputes/arguments where no one was even injured. Only a lunatic judge would ever convict someone of a felony and send them to state prison over something like this.
The only felon here was older man who shot to death the totally unarmed younger man.
Which State Bar are you a member of?
