Remember, be a victim so you won't get in trouble.

I'm not 100% cool with the racist commentary, but I will say this much: If ANYONE, no matter what race/age/religion/gender they are comes in... and at least 1 of them points a gun at me, I should have full rights to kill anyone/everyone involved on the spot. You don't know if they're down for good... who else is packing... who is capable of what. If you're initially in the right, minding your own business, you should be able to do whatever it takes to completely ensure that you're safe.

makes me sick..

@celtanican And you raise another point on top of that. How would people feel if it were a police officer conducting himself the same way? Too often, merely because somebody has a badge, they get away with it, and I think those cases are equally wrong.

[libertyeconomics]

@celtanican You make another good point about this. He was totally wrong for having chased the other kid with the gun who he didn't shoot all the way outside. It all comes down to this: deadly force is ONLY justified to defend immediate danger to life or limb. Once the kid with the gun ran away, there was no justification for deadly force, especially with HIM going outside in pursuit of the kid who had the gun as though he certainly wasn't afraid of anything.

[celtanican]

@libertyeconomics That's right! After he shot the kid just call the cops or just keep the gun pointed at the kid but not shoot till the cops came. He had every right to self defense but abused the self-defense cause he left the store clearly saw o-boy still on the ground or whatever and decided to shoot him some more... that's like a cop shooting down dude who just robbed a bank. He's down...goes and talks to some people and comes back to shoot him some more.....like wtf?

[libertyeconomics]

Clearly, Ersland didn't feel his life was in danger by that kid. I can tell you how I would have reacted - and a normal person - if I felt that threatened by that kid's presence even after the kid was shot. Ersland had every opportunity to leave the area. Or when he went back to retrieve a gun after he already shot the kid. Why did he come back to shoot the kid again? Why didn't he hide? Why didn't he call 911? It was murder. The DA did right.

[libertyeconomics]

The DA might the right decision. Personally, I would have done whatever I could have to just hand the robbers what they wanted and void any kind of shootout. His first mistake was getting a gun to shoot back. That may sound cowardly, I would just call that being smart. My guess is if he had just given them money, they would have left. But notice something. When he went to retrieve his gun after he already shot the one kid, he was walking calmly with his back to the kid. He didn't show fear.
