This guy will probably get away with murdering another person because he got knocked over.


Something's wrong with the law if this person is not charged. I agree with BTK.
I am sorry, but I have to disagree. Use of words does NOT justify a physical response. I am not saying that the person who was shoved is/was a saint, but once the boyfriend pushed him to the ground, the boyfriend became the aggressor. The victim was now on the ground with the assailant within close proximity to him, and I have not seen a transcript of the dialogue before/during/after the incident we don't know if the victim was being threatened with further harm by the assailant. Should the prosecutor determine that all elements of self defense are not present, the prosecutor will charge the shooter with murder.

Has our criminal justice system gone from innocent until proven guilty to the most social media votes determines guilt?
