No, the scumbag got shot. The pharmacist was an idiot but if I may offer an argument for shooting the guy on the ground. He was possibly thrashing about and may have had a gun. Likely? Probably not. But who is going to say different. In reality if this guy had lived and the pharmacist was dumb enough to file a complaint and offer to be a witness then these clowns and their friends would have threatened or killed him. In reality THAT'S why the guy needed to die.

if he had kept his mouth shut then it is the pharmacists word against a body. Now if the pharmacist had acted like the police in this matter, destroyed the video and then just SHUT HIS MOUTH , he would be free. I've posts this on every thread this has been posted. The cops are not your friends. Never talk to the cops.

The shooter should have said NOTHING...jeez. This is the second story like this I've seen. FReepers need to pass the word to everybody they know who has a CCW or a weapon to defend themselves in office or home... DON'T SAY ANYTHING!!! except "I was afraid for my life and then immediately, "My attorney will answer ALL further questions." That's it.. nothing, no "I'm sorry", "I shot him"... "I only was defending myself"..."I thought he had a weapon, I didn't know he wasn't armed".. "He didn't look like a teenager"... NOTHING. Don't answer the cops about the type of weapon you have, your ammo, your training, NOTHING. Tell the first cop about you being afraid for your life, then STFU.

Point to your weapon that you have unloaded and laid out in the open on the ground and then just have a seat. When the cops get there, stand up with your hands up and palms out.

Do EVERYTHING they tell you to do. You will be placed on the ground, cuffed and put in the cruiser.

If the cops keep pumping you for statements, DO NOT REENACT the crime. NOTHING. Only that you DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHTS AND YOU WANT AN ATTORNEY.

The cops aren't your friends and the press isn't either. If you mistate, lie , embellish or say anything , it will be used against you. Especially from a DA that wants to make a name or a cop that wants to get a promotion.

The cops are the only ones allowed to murder someone nowadays and get a promotion, overtime enhanced pension in addition to disability payments for life. Remember -Keep your mouth shut. Then pray that you get a good lawyer, DA that doesn't want to crusade and cops that are trying to go home early so screw up the paperwork. If these don't fall into place, you're in for a terrible year or more and I feel sorry for you.

It's all on tape. No one was thrashing and he was the only one armed - he calmly killed an unconscious, unarmed crook in cold blood.

It started out as self-defense and ended as premeditated murder.

It was all on tape...the investigators would have figured out how many bullets were fired.
