If suggest everyone watch the video from the store....it was an execution after the man was on the floor that warranted this verdict.
The video shows nothing. You cannot see the person on the floor, who could very well have looked as though he was reaching for a weapon. Dead bodies twitch. You are a dupe of the media-driven campaign to make self-defense illegal. They tell you can “see” it happening, but really, all you can see is Erslund, not the perp. In any event, if someone comes into a store waving a gun, they should not expect hugs and kumbayahs.
so I say, too bad punk.
now the pharmacist did the ONE THING you should NEVER DO if you shoot someone. Talk to the cops other than to say " my weapon is on the ground, I was afraid for my life, I no longer want to say anything without a LAWYER" then just shut your mouth and say NOTHING. Don't explain, don't say you shot or killed or did anything. Just over and over I'm waiting for my lawyer.
The police are not your friends and the quicker you realize that the better for you. They are there to take notes, photos, gather evidence, increase their budgets, go home safely to collect their pensions and that's it.
Agreed 100%. It's been a while since I watched the video but if I remember correctly there was something like 16 seconds between the time he stepped over the kid to get back behind the counter and when he came back over and shot the kid who still hadn't moved. I'm all for self defense but when the threat has been eliminated you had better stop shooting.
