Ultimately, he got away with murder and how the rest of the world feels about it is irrelevant. It is the law in this state.

This is similar to a much publicized and discussed case a few years ago. I felt that the shooter had the right at the time but since that time I now feel he was a jerk who was looking to shoot. However, I also felt the victim was probably up to something and his juvenile record was sealed so we will never know if he was a nice guy or a thug. No one should be killed if they aren't trying to hurt or harm another badly . I know you have a gun, Red, as you have discussed it on this forum and we G's do not have guns although we are great fans of the second amendment.... And we sit across the aisle from each other politically. I hope you know I recognize you as a smart cookie and a sage person although you used to rearrange my trash when you visited.
