Based on the facts of the case, I don’t disagree with the jury.
I work in security. The less force used, the more optimal it is. If the guy had taken something and given it back, it is better that he was free to go. Since he did not take anything, the best action was to tell him to get lost.
A lot of trouble could have been saved if they had a couple of hi-def video cameras. He was well known enough that the police would have tracked him down and talked to him.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes. The bubbas would be sleeping at home tonight if they hadn’t brought a shot gun to the party. Or even left it in the vehicle. So much stupidity in this story. I have no sympathy for anybody involved here.
Very good points.
