Showing Original Post only (View all)UPDATE 2: Texas E-Z-Trip (C-store) Shooting of Violent Drunk [View all]
http://www.the33tv.com/news/kdaf-north-dallas-store-shooting-leaves-man-dead-20120705,0,3423937.storyThere is a bit more information on that shooting. I will cut-n-paste the relevant parts.
SNIP
Police say the unidentified black male slapped a customer in the face that customer ran out of the store and the man chased after him. They say he then went back into the store and hit a second customer with his fist. This fight also spilled outside, but ended in gunfire.
SNIP
The store owner says after the first shot things went back inside his store.
"He was still arguing with the white guy and he was coming close to him again and that's when he shot again and that's when the black guy started bleeding a lot and that's when he fell on the ground, said Saddiq.
SNIP
The store owner says he's already reviewed his surveillance video and he says it shows more than one shot fired. Police say they are still interviewing witnesses and piecing this all together. As of now they don't believe the two men knew each other.
So the drunk didn't stop chasing the guy, even after he was shot the first time, but kept on coming after the victim.

Sounds like something Zimmerman would say. Of course, you just assume shooting him was only option.

I know, you are probably one of those who'll shoot unarmed person over property, etc.

Ask him. He is supporting a man with a gun who shot an UNARMED drunk when other options available.

Maybe we'll get some photos of how badly the gun toter was hurt. My guess is, it will be even less

It is immoral for someone to assault me. It is moral for me to defend myself.

I don't think our Texas toter was in danger of decomposing, or having much more than a bloody nose.

Bullshit. Unmitigated mendacity. You made numerous claims as facts, not as opinion.

Weaver hid behind his wife and kids, when he should have walked out (without lethal weapons).

No, his trafficking in illegal guns and refusal to give himself up is what caused shooting.

It was koresch's fault. He had 51 days to surrender, but chose to hide behind his flock.

In the 51 days koresch could have given up, he chose to remain with his guns and underaged teenagers

Why would they pick up a gun nut in town where innocents are around? That would be crazy/stupid.
