...But also carry something less lethal. Police-grade pepper spray would have been the correct tool here.

This.

As John Correia from 'Active Self Protection' says "bless the deserving with the hot sauce".

If one wants to keep more distance between them and the perp, a pepper ball and rubber projectile gun may help.

I like reading these stories.

The shooter remains in jail. With the remaining charge, if not thrown out, he faces 10 years behind bars.

I’ve seen such projectile guns. But I am wary of them. They are bright orange, but a excitable cop or armed citizen might just think gun instead of orange gun.

I like Fox pepper spray. Quality stuff. Easy to carry. Can’t be mistaken for something else.
But as the old saying goes, to each his own.

“found not guilty”

Yep, I’d vote not guilty too. It’s not a “prank” if you are just harassing people.

It wouldn't be anarcho-tyranny if the black-robed clowns, the Kafkaesque prosecutors and their magic-suited gunthugs arrested the ACTUAL perpetrators.

If it was staged, wouldn’t that have come out at trial?

My bad, I didn’t read the part where it said it took place in April.

I pretty think everything is staged, unless proven otherwise.

This was a case of “proven otherwise”.

"Cook acknowledged during cross-examination on Tuesday that mall security had tossed him out the day prior to the shooting as he tried to record pranks, and that he was trying to avoid security the day he targeted Colie."

Sue him into oblivion. He makes about $3k a month with his channel; take it and everything he and his idiot family own.

The guy was annoying, and he was harassing the man. But, how is that justification for shooting him?

Once again:

A a juror, I will never convict anyone of any crime in connection with taking out the trash.

I am surprised that Sacha Baron Cohen never got shot. He did get punched in the face at least once ...
