I always love the "But he's not a bad person" crap after the fact.

Um, yeah. Ok.

Sure I can. He chased down 4 guys who had two firearms, knowing that there were 4 guys with 2 firearms. If he was truly scared, he wouldn't have done it. He was angry and acted on it.

So you're saying you can't be angry and scared for your life at the same time?

I'm saying that if you're scared for your life then you don't go putting it in danger once you're out of it, and that if you do, then the act was one of anger not fear. Seems a fairly straight forward issue to me.

Chasing them down was an act of anger. Shooting in self defense was an act of fear, as his life was being threatened by armed criminals.

Who's to say he didn't chase them down to politely ask for his possessions back when they began to once again act in a violent manner. At that point he used his firearm in self defense.

I see what's happening here. P_C has a very direct viewpoint on what emotions were inolved, and everybody here would agree... if they weren't playing lawyer and trying to make the emotions work in his favor in a US Court.

When fearing your life you seek shelter and safety at all costs. Chasing the guys down after they left was pure anger.

Anger I agree 100% with and stand behind what he did, but that doesn't change the emotions involved.

Chasing them down was an act of anger, that clearly shows which emotion was more important to him at the time. Having a cooling down period and then acting in a way that results in taking a life means that he's technically guilty. I'll have no sympathy for those who committed the crime; just a *little* for him.
