A local news channel did a poll on this case. 80% of those polled said that they would have done the same thing (shoot to protect). 20% said they would not have shot (at) the suspected thieves.
Here in Louisiana, it is not justified. You, yourself have to be in immediate danger. The shooter (or victim, depending on how you look at it) is out on bond. He has a CLEAN record. I do not think the guy who was killed had a clean record. The deceased mother hopes that the shooter gets prosecuted to the fullest.
I'm torn. I do expect the mother to grieve for her child, BUT and it's a BIG BUT, his butt (her child) is a CRIMINAL. :rmad: How is that justified or excused?
