No more Mr.Nice Guy after being put through the wringer. Next time Weiss sees a group of people involved in a traffic accident needing help, he’s going to just keep on driving. He may or may not call 911 anonymously.

> His record still exists but is no longer public record.

But somehow it’s going to end up in the databases of a bunch of federal, state, and foreign databases.

The process is the punishment.

I thought this article was going to argue that Weiss had good reason not to retreat (to help save lives). It never made its case for the problem with the duty to retreat, other than that it would have made this man’s defense easier.

The legal “duty to retreat” seems to me an infringement of your fundamental right to defend yourself. Anyone who is assaulted is the only competent judge of the safety of retreating.

“teenagers”

Of the melanated type descended from the peaceful proud nation of Somalia? Diversity is our greatest strength.

"The decision to retry after a 9-3 vote to acquit is highly unusual." Not in present day Somaliasota...
