July 21, 2016 began as any other day for Wayne Parish. The Crystal Springs resident woke up, bid his family farewell and went to work at Performance Oil on McDowell Road in Jackson Mississippi. But the transformative events of that fateful day changed Parishs life forever. On that day, the hard-working, law-abiding family man crossed paths with a 17-year-old delinquent named Charles McDonald.
Despite his youth, McDonald was already an aspiring criminal and a recidivist offender. On July 21, his mother, Yvette Mason-Sherman, tried to take him to the Henley-Young Youth Detention facility, which is located next to Performance Oil where Parish worked. McDonald had already been to the youth detention facility eight times in the past two years. During the ride, he jumped out of his mothers car and ran off.
McDonald then entered the Performance Oil parking lot where a Lexus ES-350 caught his eye. It should be noted that at the time McDonald trespassed on to the lot, he had two outstanding warrants, one of which involved a police chase. McDonald then picked up a large rock and proceeded to smash the cars drivers side window in an effort to break in. His actions that day constituted a felony under Mississippis penal code.
The police were called and dispatched but Parish exited the store with a .38 Smith & Wesson and ordered McDonald, who was still trying to break into the car, to leave the premises. Instead of leaving, McDonald lunged at Parish in an effort to grab his gun. The two struggled for control of the revolver for less than 30 seconds but it likely seemed like an eternity for Parish. Toward the end of the life and death struggle, which was captured on surveillance video,

bottom line, this man risked his life to save someone else’s Lexus.
Agreed. If the question is what would the most prudent or appropriate response be, your answer may be correct. If the question is did this armed citizen commit first degree murder, as charged, there is no reasonable doubt that my answer is correct.
Jackson is Mississippi's Philadelphia or Georgia's Atlanta, or Maryland's Baltimore, or the College system's Berkeley......
Here in TX you can kill a perp who is harming or stealing from a 3rd party.
And I don't mean "stop him", I mean "kill him".
That's what Joe Horn did, and he is a hero. He killed a perp right in front of a police detective.
The good people should gather outside this DA’s home every day of the week and protest his sorry azz.
.
The DA must have on-set Alzheimer’s.
What a doofus!

Constitutionally, Mr. Parish has the very same rights, powers, and responsibilities as any appointed police officer has.
The constitution does not have provision for a citizenship classification of “Law enforcer.”
All citizens have that responsibility/right.
How does your Brown Shirt fit these days?
.
One of Derbyshire's Rules for White People is "Never live in a municipality governed by blacks".
This is exactly why.
White people become hunted animals at the whim of a bad person.
When seconds count a cop is only minutes away.
Or as an alternate,. Why does he carry a pistol?, Because a cop is way too heavy.
Citizens willing to assist in the protection of society at large should not be hunted,. Especially for what appears on so many levels as political, and possibly racial motivation. All the while costing an apparently honest and innocent man lots of legal fees. Meanwhile everyone stands on the sidelines and does nothing. Congratulations!!
This was not in Texas

§ 97-3-15. Homicide; justifiable homicide.
(1) The killing of a human being by the act, procurement or omission of another shall be justifiable in the following cases:
(a) When committed by public officers, or those acting by their aid and assistance, in obedience to any judgment of a competent court;
(b) When necessarily committed by public officers, or those acting by their command in their aid and assistance, in overcoming actual resistance to the execution of some legal process, or to the discharge of any other legal duty;
(c) When necessarily committed by public officers, or those acting by their command in their aid and assistance, in retaking any felon who has been rescued or has escaped;
(d) When necessarily committed by public officers, or those acting by their command in their aid and assistance, in arresting any felon fleeing from justice;
(e) When committed by any person in resisting any attempt unlawfully to kill such person or to commit any felony upon him, or upon or in any dwelling, in any occupied vehicle, in any place of business, in any place of employment or in the immediate premises thereof in which such person shall be;
(f) When committed in the lawful defense of one’s own person or any other human being, where there shall be reasonable ground to apprehend a design to commit a felony or to do some great personal injury, and there shall be imminent danger of such design being accomplished;
(g) When necessarily committed in attempting by lawful ways and means to apprehend any person for any felony committed;
(h) When necessarily committed in lawfully suppressing any riot or in lawfully keeping and preserving the peace.
(a) As used in subsection (1)(c) and (d) of this section, the term “when necessarily committed” means that a public officer or a person acting by or at the officer’s command, aid or assistance is authorized to use such force as necessary in securing and detaining the felon offender, overcoming the offender’s resistance, preventing the offender’s escape, recapturing the offender if the offender escapes or in protecting himself or others from bodily harm; but such officer or person shall not be authorized to resort to deadly or dangerous means when to do so would be unreasonable under the circumstances. The public officer or person acting by or at the officer’s command may act upon a reasonable apprehension of the surrounding circumstances; however, such officer or person shall not use excessive force or force that is greater than reasonably necessary in securing and detaining the offender, overcoming the offender’s resistance, preventing the offender’s escape, recapturing the offender if the offender escapes or in protecting himself or others from bodily harm.
(b) As used in subsection (1)(c) and (d) of this section the term “felon” shall include an offender who has been convicted of a felony and shall also include an offender who is in custody, or whose custody is being sought, on a charge or for an offense which is punishable, upon conviction, by death or confinement in the Penitentiary.
(c) As used in subsections (1)(e) and (3) of this section, “dwelling” means a building or conveyance of any kind that has a roof over it, whether the building or conveyance is temporary or permanent, mobile or immobile, including a tent, that is designed to be occupied by people lodging therein at night, including any attached porch;
(4) A person who is not the initial aggressor and is not engaged in unlawful activity shall have no duty to retreat before using deadly force under subsection (1) (e) or (f) of this section if the person is in a place where the person has a right to be, and no finder of fact shall be permitted to consider the person’s failure to retreat as evidence that the person’s use of force was unnecessary, excessive or unreasonable.

Thanks for the information.
Is there a “stop the riots before they start” component to this indictment? Have the “Runnin’ Reverends” come a-runnin’ yet?
