God help the poor victim if he is white and Tillman was black.

Don't think a whole lot of suffering was happening.

Yep.

“Witnesses told investigators that Tillman assaulted an armed man, who used the gun to defend himself.”

It’s safest to try this sort of thing in New Jersey or New York, where the state insures your potential victim is probably unarmed.
