I don’t think so. First-degree is premeditated, second ‘heat of passion.’
I personally think Dolloff didn’t go there planning to shoot anyone, he just got slapped in the face for whatever reason, got angry and shot the guy. Seems second-degree murder to me. Wasn’t first-degree murder, wasn’t ‘fear for my life’ self-defense.
He was paid to go agitate against the Trump supporters and see if they could get some good footage to make things look bad for Trump. But it backfired. The other antifa guy with the black shirt on was also involved.
I 100% believe he did go there to escalate confrontations and create an incident where he could shoot someone.
I think the taunting thing was a set up, and therefore the action that followed premeditated. “Mace me and see what happens.”
News article this morning somewhere that speaks of the killing maybe was a targeted hit job.
I personally think you are wrong.
Too much planning to get him to that location and to engage in provocation of the man he shot.
The three (shooter, instigator wearing Black Guns Matter tee, and the producer from 9news) were seen huddling before the incident. I am curious about their conversation
Like the boy that shot the armed guy charging him.
That was self defense.
BS. He went there looking to shoot a Trump supporter.
He got slapped because he first reached into the victim’s jacket/vest.
