Those are some really stupid kids. Yelling racial epithats to two armed black men. Perhaps according to the law this was the correct ruling, but in my mind, this shooting seems justified. If the father and son had walked inside, you know those kids would not have stopped.
‘but in my mind, this shooting seems justified”
Really? Where is the threat of great bodily harm or property?
Do you also support shooting people for cutting you off in traffic?
Clairvoyant much?
I think you’re right. First, these kids were stupid enough to start something with someone who is armed (and they weren’t). That’s doing us a favor, removing such stupidity from the gene pool. Second, I believe in that situation the homeowner had a reasonable belief his life and the life of his son were in danger. Of course, I didn’t read the transcripts from the trial or anything, but at first blush it sounds reasonable.
How do you know the kids would not have stopped. And this was not a JUSTIFIABLE shooting. This was not a home invasion and when the son came in claiming someone wanted him dead - the Father should have called “911”.
Sorry, this man has no right to take the life of the 17 year old.
