Saying he shot him because he was texting while leaving the physical attack out of the picture is creating a lie by omitting the act that triggered the shooting.
If SYG laws protect a guy who used deadly force after getting popcorn thrown in his face, then all those Trayvon supporters are right about the law needing to be repealed.
However, I have confidence that the jury will send this ex-cop to prison for a long, long time while upholding the integrity of Florida's self-defence and SYG laws.

Leaving out everything that happened prior to the popcorn being thrown is creating a lie by omitting the acts that triggered the popcorn throwing.
Just as you think the shooting was justified, many, including myself, based on what we have heard of the evidence and seeing the surveillance video, think the popcorn throwing was justified.
So you ‘re implying that Oulson throwing popcorn at Reeves for no discernable reason should give that act the gravity necessary to justify a fatal shooting, and that the texting played no part as an absurd catalyst to the act. of shooting? Mr. Reeves was obviously in a state of mind where ANYTHING could serve as a catalyst.
According to witnesses the shooter initiated the altercation. So how do you know the victim didn't throw popcorn in self defense?
When throwing popcorn becomes justification for murder, then the time has come to murder all politicians and lawyers as they do far worse every day.
Thankfully, your views are unlikely to prevail.
