You can read more details in the link at the ORIGINAL THREAD from last month when the story first broke. You can even read the same comments from FReepers all over gain.
Thank you for that info - I just went back and saw the original story...Yes, the guy was a jerk for parking in a handicapped spot, and yes, he did come up and shove a man who was yelling at his girlfriend. No argument on either of those points.
BUT, the man who was carrying the weapon started the confrontation AND fired his weapon at someone who was clearly backing away from him and did not pose an imminent threat. I agree with the filing of charges in this case!
