What you believe and feel doesn’t matter when it comes to law.

You can believe and feel whatever you want. However the law is the law

He’s going to face charges.

Like I said, if I was on the jury, unless they can show he has a pattern/past that shows he is a greater societal threat if I’m on the jury I would vote to acquit, but reality is he is going to face charges.

After the shooter finished up inside and was walking out he threw a coffee cup at the body.

A prosecuter can make this look pretty ugly and a guy like this may have a nasty past, and may even be carrying illegally.

However, the law is the law..."

The law has degenerated into mere pretense. It is simply a tool to keep the peasantry obedient to the authorities. The government is selectively declining to protect ordinary citizens from violent criminal predators and uses "the law" to enforce that policy.

It should not be that way, but it is. Criminals who belong to a protected class routinely get bailed out of jail before their victims get out of a hospital.

The robber got exactly what he deserved in this instance.

"The Law" is limited to what most people are willing to tolerate. Punishing people who stop a restaurant armed robbery is beyond what a great number of people are willing to tolerate.

The people who are running the "criminal justice system" are the ones who are responsible for the rise of "do it yourself" justice. This is not a stable or good condition.
