When did simple misdemeanor battery become a capital offense?
We also learned that stealing is wrong. Going to start hanging your neighbor for taking your newspaper (look it up, kids!).
Proportionality, people.
Really? Do you know the mindset of the victim that was shoved to the ground? Do you know what level of fear he was experiencing?
The intent of the dead guy isn't relevant. It's the mindset of the shooter that matters.
Maybe you should go work in the DA's office cause I don't think I'd hire you as my defense attorney.
What is the litmus test for determining proportionality? You can't determine that simply based on the video. There may be physical limitations that the shooter has that aren't evident. Those could very well change the level of fear that he experienced in this encounter.
