Lets retrace the events of this thread, shall we?
You applaud the court's verdict. Justice has been served, apparently
EPM wonders if a legal precedent has been set. Can you provoke and shoot an unarmed man now?
You tell him to do it, so he can be found guilty and rot in prison. The end.
You have proven yourself a self-contradicting brainless fool. I can tell that Sam has at least a shred of common sense. He's a disagreeable, misguided jackass, but at least he made a semi-informed decision about becoming one. You are just plain stupid.
No, because this has happened MANY times before. It happens every day, somewhere, somehow, by someone. Sometimes cops do it, sometimes homeowners, sometimes civilians walking to their car in a dark parking lot. You just don't hear about it everyday, because this case was turned into a circus, by the media, and groups that screamed racism. When I took my ccw class, I was told, if you feel that your life was in eminent danger, you can use deadly force. I was also told, that doesn't mean the other person has to have a gun. I was told, I would be arrested, and I should exercise my right to remain silent, that's what lawyers are for.
I would like to know what constitutes provocation....and what does unarmed have to do with it. I know guys that have studied martial arts for years, they can disarm a man with a gun, they can kill with their bare hands. Their hands ARE weapons. How many times have you heard of a guy accidentally killing another man, because he hit him in the head enough times to cause brain damage? You know it happens.
