Is it just me or does it sounds like this wasn’t self-defense and that the guy pursued these people off his property and more or less executed one of them?
Don’t get me wrong. I have zero sympathy for the dead perp. But it seems as though this incident went waaay beyond self-defense.
Opinions anyone?
Just because some punk got scared and stopped pounding you in the face doesn’t mean you can’t hit him back.
If it happened as written its hardly self defense. I think he will do time.
He might get away with this in Texas but not in CA.
I agree, and as a result I don't have a whole lot of sympathy to waste on him either. He made his decision and he'll have to take the consequences.
I understand your point but seriously, how fast can an 80 year old run?
That’s how I see it.
Opinions anyone?
Trial, conviction, sentencing. Then the sentence suspended, if there is justice.
It wasn’t self defense. It was vengeance for being beaten and robbed. He was pissed. Understandable. But he made a hasty unwise choice and this blabbermouth will spend the rest of his years and money fighting this if not in prison. Unfortunately the focus moves from these trashy criminals to a likely decent man who overreacted.
