Just like the pharmacist that shot some guys trying to rob him. He was fine (self defense) until he went back, got a second gun and shot the guy that was wounded and defenseless on the ground. He crossed the line between self defense and murder.Exactly what I was going to say. If they are on the ground they aren't a threat anymore.fishman wrote:Right, once the perp stops he should stop. Maybe I should just say I don't feel sorry for the perp.
After the first few whacks it went from being SD to him making it personal and not having control of his temper.
He shouldn't have come back with the rod. IMO he should have just gone hand-to-hand with them OR retreat to the pipe and if the continue to follow then give them a few whacks but I think he was wrong for removing himself from the situation and then reappearing just to take a few swings.
Yes the women stated it while he was only trying to do his job but I don't have a problem with him being charged.
The women should be charged as well. Just because they got a butt whooping doesn't mean their offences didn't take place.
Would I vote him guilty if I was was sitting on his jury? No way.
