    Local gun store was advertising on their LED sign that he would be in town and speaking.

    Look, I get why he got away with homicide. Watch the video, pretend you are a juror, be cynical as you like. He had a solid case for self-defense.

    “Shouldn’t have been there in the first place!”, isn’t a legal defense.

    For whatever legal reason I don’t understand, the buyer of that weapon should have been hung from a telephone pole. But he’s not guilty, not innocent. And that’s a distinction in any sane legal system.

    Anyway, I’d take a shot at him myself, just to shut him the fuck up. Seems he’s easy to provoke?

      Didn’t he go back to his car to get the gun “because he felt scared”? I reasonable person would remove themselves from the situation
