He just did it "legally".
Someone needs to be educated about the definition of murder. Murder is an unlawful killing of a human being. If he acted in self defense he is absolutely not a murderer. A police officer who lawfully kills a suspect is not a murderer, a soldier who kills an enemy combatant is not a murderer and a civilian who kills someone in self defense is not a murderer. Words have meanings for a reason.

the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought
Quote:Still a problem.
If he's not there with the gun he probably doesn't kill someone nor does he "exchange words" with protesters.
A flip side to that position would be that if people weren't rioting, burning and looting this kid would not have been there with a gun.
Quote:Just like the chief saying if there weren't protesters no one would get killed.
Oh, no no no. If there weren't rioters, arsonists and looters no one would get killed.
Quote:There are legal ways to kill people in this country.
Sure, along with every other country on the planet.
Quote:Seems this kid was looking to "defend himself" form the get go and has enough evidence to get away with two deaths.
Wow, even with all the evidence in this poor kid's favor you're still desperate to condemn him. He won't "get away" with anything, that implies he'll avoid consequences for something he shouldn't have done.
Quote:I'm sure he'll be dine moving forward.
Not sure if he'll be fine. He's got a long, arduous and immensely stressful legal battle ahead of him. He'll also have people like yourself who will consider him a murderer regardless of the outcome. Not a position I'd envy.
