I'm not going to guess one way or the other, especially on a public forum. I do know, he hasn't retracted a purposeful and negligent statement, (on a public forum) and that tells me all I need to know.

"They" say the average citizen is a felon three times a day.

I often see police cars with the engine running and nobody inside.

And how many red lights did you run today because LEO's often run them?

Have you stopped abusing the neighborhood children?

Leave your car running and unattended in a public parking lot next to an occupied police car and see if you get some "friendly advice", even if it's NOT against the law. Some things are perfectly legal, but they are still dumb things to do.

First off, the victim is a moron for leaving his car running and unattended. I'm not positive, but here, in Texas, I think that is against the law. Second, what happened to the "he was gonna run me down, and I feared for my life defense?" The cops that shoot at cars use that all the time, but not always successfully I admit. Also, when LEO's do shoot at a fleeing car, there isn't one thought of 'oh no, what if he missed' second guessing. Why? Because they generally have very tight groups and don't miss. The lesson is, practice Ladies and Gentleman. We all need it, and we don't get enough. Honestly, I think the car owner made a mistake. Would I put him in jail for it? Maybe not, but I would give him a very stiff fine.
