My son is smart enough to keep on walking. And If he did end up face to face I doubt he'd be cracking somebody in the nose unless there was a good reson to defend himself.
Of course he is smart enough not to get in that situation and has had a CPL since he turned 21.. and learned to run a pistol way before that.
Some of you folks mus not deal with todays crop of young people. I have had... and have observed more that a few kids "throw" down at the least provocation against people they percieve as an annoyance. Us older folks were raised to respect authority... even if we were thinking "f- you" we took the grilling and left under our own steam.
There are two sides to this story... sadly lab data will tell most of one of the versions and those basic scientific facts lend some support to the surviors version of events.
perhaps TM was smart enough to keep on walking and tried.
Perhaps he was confronted face to face,
Perhaps when confronted by a total stranger with NO authority he cracked him in the nose.
Perhaps TM was defending himself, got the upper hand and was shot and killed by a stranger who was following him.
Im also one of them "older" folks that was taught to respect authority. If i knew you were in a position of authority, i would be respectful, but if you were stranger and you were following me, then confronted me, got loud, touched me or acted aggressive. I WOULD DEFINATLY GET THE FIRST PUNCH IN.
Thats what i was taught, to fight back. Thats what i taught my kids.
Sadly there are two sides of the story, NOTHING is fact yet, even the lab reports you claim lends some support to GZ.
The facts will come out at the trial, the facts will be disputed at trial, then a jury will decide.
