“hope he can show he shot in self-defense”

It might be about time anyone carrying for self defense should also start carrying a spare “drop gun” that isn’t traceable back to you, like the cops used to do.

Would be an unquestioned shoot if he was in Texas.

Where I live in Idaho, the shooter would be elected the next Mayor.

Private citizens in the State of Washington have much broader authority to use deadly force than law enforcement officers.

Shooting at a fleeing felon is well within the law. The fact that that Lynnwood is in Snohomish County is also good. The Sheriff is not concerned with the the result of criminal conduct.

Actually, the State of Washington laws give this guy more protection than Texas.

Your car / truck is your horse.

That’s a bit non-sensical, these days. Sure, it’s transportation. Is it potentially life-threatening to be denied use of your car? Life-or-death, execute the thief on the spot? Good luck with that.
