Harris said a man, later identified as Leon Armstrong, tried to get inside the stall with the teen . . . Harris told police Armstrong took a swing at him first.

I wonder how many witness there are to that swing. There could be tens of thousands of reliable, decent people who saw the predator swing first and saw Harris use only the force necessary to stop that immediate threat.

“There could be tens of thousands of reliable, decent people who saw the predator swing first and saw Harris use only the force necessary to stop that immediate threat.”

That defense does not work when the accused tracks someone down, initiates a confrontation and then shoots to kill.

Melvin will be living in a gated community for quite some time.

The immediate threat was stopped. It was the
events that occurred after they left the store
