“I wonder what the comments here would be if the victim was a young black gang member with the shooter was not an ex cop.”
Add in one other part of the story. Lets say the geezer about to be knocked out had walked up, and started an argument about cell phones when the “young black gang member” was basically minding his own business.
If you are CCW, you are not to be the manners police going around menacing and correcting people.

I agree. But it’s at least possible that the shooter tried to do the right thing by contacting the manager and was provoked by the victim upon returning to his seat. Still doesn’t justify the shooting but it seems the shooters primary sin here is that he was an ex-cop.
