I don't blame the DA, the guy did shoot after he wasn't in danger anymore, if the guy would have stood up yeh it was self defense, but the dude was already on the floor.

Other than that, good for him

Or maybe if you hadn't run into a pharmacy with your bitch friend waving a gun around, none of this would have happened. Good riddance. I hope he walks.

In fact, they should give the pharmacist an annual bonus for stopping crimes that probably would have occurred over the next decade.

I work in a city where this shit happens constantly. I'm sure all the local stations were running the family all teary eyed talking about how he was such a good kid and never meant any harm to anyone.

word.






Dude's right though. he *shouldn't* have gone over and popped the extra 5 rounds into the guy..............


first degree murder? no..... i dunno.... manslaughter? sure. he was defending himself/others, and got caught up in the moment.

I agree 100% there are robberies all the time up by where I work and I feel these skells dont deserve to live. The stories here are that they made some bad decisions but are now with their babies mammas and turning their lives around

Then the family tries to sue saying his civil rights were violated which tells me they should be shot in the head too.

You ever been shot at? I don't understand why our justice system expects the victim to make the correct moral judgment when their life was just in danger. It's only ~45 seconds from the time a guy gets a handgun shoved in his face to when he fires a few more rounds at the guy on the floor. When your heart rate suddenly hits 180bpm and adrenaline dumps into your system by the pound, 45 seconds can be a blink of an eye. I bet he made up his mind what he was going to do in the first 0.5 seconds, then his body was on auto-pilot for the rest.

There's a real simple way to avoid being shot by a pharmacist: don't attempt armed robbery on a pharmacy.

Jerome Ersland is the victim of armed robbery. The criminals are the two that premeditated armed robbery. Their thoughts and actions took much more than 45 seconds to plan and act out.

This has been all over the local news.

According to what he has said, basically, this...

He shot the kid in the head, and headed after the other one, who ran away to a waiting car.

He came back in, and the kid was apparently moving. The guy had recently had spinal surgery, and could not move anywhere in a hurry. At this point he was still fearful for his life he said, and if the kid had come after him, there was no way he could defend himself or the ladies that were working with him in the store.

From what I've heard/seen, he was justified. It pisses me off when people say he was a good kid. NO, he wasn't!!

There is only reason as best I can tell that the DA is pressing charges. One segment of the community would be in an uproar otherwise.

Hell, at the bail hearing, the DA told the judge this guy *should* be allowed to keep his guns, and to carry a gun when he goes to work. The judge denied that motion and the man had to turn over all of his weapons to his attorney.

The moral of the story is: If you want to walk into a store like Billy Bad Ass and rob it, don't be surprised if you get your ass shot.
