Shot in the back in a detached garage. Unless the guy was sleeping in his garage, its hard to find the self defense. Bad judgment. Very bad.

I've been observing the replies. Everyone agrees the BGs were guilty of trespassing (at a minimum) and were in the wrong place. So nobody is claiming they were choirboys.

Early in the morning, almost everyone thought it didn't matter that the BGs were shot in the back. The sentiment was basically that they deserved to die.

I *do* agree that there are some issues with this case that give me pause, i.e. Maybe the BGs weren't in total retreat given the wounds and there may have been things that happened in the garage that need to come to light in Court.

Nonetheless, I applaud you all for basically (thankfully) stating that you CANNOT LEGALLY shoot BGs in the back. There ARE rules of engagement - we may not like them, and again the BGs aren't saints, but we either have the rule of law or anarchy. Indeed, if the law (and training) is "no shooting in the back" then to argue otherwise is comparable to supporting illegal aliens.
