"Poor decisions?" Hmmm, I wonder what some on here would do if confronted with the same situation. I probably would have approached the situation a bit more cautiously, but I would probably be on trial for THREE deaths instead of just two. I've had more experience over the years with firearms, I'm sure. I doubt I would have been able to attempt to outrun the crowd, so I would have had to make a fast decision as to what I would have to do to protect myself. "Poor decision?"
