re: #571 palomino

That mischaracterizes what happened. Zim got out of his truck with a loaded gun while pursuing someone for no legitimate reason. That’s hardly the same as just being “mugged at night.” Bottom line: Reasonable, sane people don’t play pretend cop, and they sure as hell don’t do what Zim did. If he’d stayed in his car, or not followed a non-suspect, we wouldn’t be having this debate.

This doesn’t necessarily make him guilty of 2nd degree murder. But it makes him a sorry excuse for a human being, as well as a perfect example of what’s wrong with America’s gun culture.

Getting out of his truck was not a crime. In fact, it can’t be proven that he was involved in any crime prior to the fight beginning.
