    Well that changes some things

    The guy already experienced being ran over and in the action took the bad decision to shoot when it could happen again

    That nuanced things, but still it’s probably a mistake, and they don’t assume it

        When it’s about saving your life, you do. Survival instinct

        Or just tell that to people that shoot burglars when they enter their house

        You’ve never exaggerated in extreme situations and made mistakes?

          I can tell you right now I’ve never shot someone because my life was in danger. And it has been, repeatedly.

          How the fuck is “You don’t get to kill people because you are afraid” something to argue against to you?

            How the fuck is “You don’t get to kill people because you are afraid” something to argue against to you?

            If you believe you’re going to be killed, then you shoot first

            And the goal is not to kill, just to fight the threat to be safe from it. Killing is an unfortunate result

      Tough shit?

      Murder with car is okay after all. Murder with guns is only okay for police and ice isn’t police!

      He should get zero leaniency with this. Fear for one’s life doesn’t give you right to murder someone. They’re armoured thugs.
