I wonder if there was any video seized from Taco Bell to support the shooter’s assertions that the decedant had a pipe or bat that made him feel that his life was in danger?
If anything comes of this, watch the shooter change his story to that of the dog growled at him menacingly.
No weapon was found. Shot because he screamed at someone and air punched.
Sounds a little iffy.

I think this article gives us a lot to think about. I hope none of us is ever in a situation where we have to make a life or death decision...but we never know what lies ahead.........
“And that’s really the key issue raised by this sweeping change in the nation’s gun laws: Where should the line be drawn?”
I don’t see this as a change in the nation’s gun laws. You can stand your ground unarmed if indicated.
When liberals don’t like a truth that might ‘sneak out’ they work to ‘complicate’ an issue. It’s another way to lie.
Notice that the shooter will not be identified but they had no problem giving Zimerman's name when they thought he was white.
The mixture of self defense, castle doctrine, and stand your ground cases is designed to sabotage a necessary law.
No law is a perfect fit for all cases, likely very few textbook cases actually occur. The law is designed to fit in principle and requires judgment to administer.
Overall, stats show that cops are six times more likely to kill an innocent person than civilians using firearms for self defense, and that crime is highest and most seriously violent in states and cities that have strict gun control, while lowest in states with mandatory "shall issue" CCW gun permits.
Civilization was built on the control and elimination of the criminal and maniac, and it will be destroyed by the protection, coddling and growth of the same.
I think we’re in a transition period and these types of things will be happening for a while. We currently have a society that believes they can do anything they want with no consequences. They have no respect for other peoples’ property. You can tell by the rudeness of people (especially in internet comments) that they have few social skills and are unable to resolve confrontations peacefully.
As time goes on and more people get shot or killed being where they’re not supposed to be or acting in a way they shouldn’t be acting, it will have a tendency to change society’s behavior. The axiom “An armed society is a polite society” will start to sink in.
The story is getting a lot of attention at CNN judging by the 360+ comments.
The 2nd Amendment is absolute, but people have an obligation to use that right responsibly. If people use it recklessly, we could lose it.
Actually, there is no THICKER line between the two.
This cr@p makes me sick. Idiots.
One of the things I liked about the Perry Mason novels was that Perry Mason often had clients who lied to him.
This story tends to assume what the family of the ‘victim’ says is true.
I’m waiving the BS flag. For example, in the Arizona case, CNN says:
“While the shooter said he did not believe Adkins would have killed him and his fiancée had he not fired, he also said he feared Adkins was trying to hurt him.”
Arizona law says:
“A. A person is justified in threatening or using deadly physical force against another:
1. If such person would be justified in threatening or using physical force against the other under section 13-404, and
2. When and to the degree a reasonable person would believe that deadly physical force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the other’s use or attempted use of unlawful deadly physical force.”
You cannot legally use deadly force in Arizona unless you believe the other person may be about to use deadly force.
Since the guy hasn’t been charged, either the DA believes he was in significant danger, or there is simply no evidence to use against him.
Kathleen Hoague, a top prosecutor in Miami-Dade County also was thrown by Bloom’s decision.
“We feel the judge abused her discretion,” she told the Herald. “The law does not allow for you to use deadly force to retrieve your property.”
If Lawyerette Hoague is correct, Florida law is in need of revision. The Founders considered private property to have semi-sacred status. The also held that is ever property was not accorded such status, Horrid mischief would ensue.”
We removed property rights, and just as the Founders feared, Horrid Mischief was elected.
No matter how you slice it, anecdotal evidence is very much a tool of the snake oil salesman.
When we permit the fact that people are not perfect in their decision making to become part of an argument about rights, we are changing the definition of the argument to insure loss.
It is their choice as individuals to arm or not to arm. It is not their option to choose for me.
The Daniel Adkins shooting in Laveen AZ sounds like pretty week justification.
