OT : Good thing "law abiding citizens" get to carry their guns around

That way, we have someone to handle those pesky texters when we go to the movies.

Too bad the texter didnt have a gun of his own. He'd still be here today.

This shit is getting crazy. They just started training the students and teachers at my kids school for scenarios like this. They have a volunteer run in the school with a paint ball gun and the whole school is supposed to react. Times have changed.

I take it you didn't see the clip about the Police Sergeant that pulled his revolver and stuck it in a kids face that was waiting in the drive thru McDonald's for his order, because he was "taking too long"?

Aw man I guess that is one way to look at it

Or, people could just NOT shoot other f'in people because of texting

I will NEVER understand the gun lust in this country

[T.D-Bag]

Retired Special Ops Cop

felt threatened by a box of popcorn so he shot the guy in his chest

I guess he "STOOD HIS GROUND"

This is fucked up. "Stand your ground" my ass.

I'd go so far as to say this it's very conceivable this d-bag went into the confrontation intending to use his gun and knowing he could get off with the "stand your ground" bullshit.

Not something to joke about, Rick. This is homicide. Do you think it's justified?

[Eagle In Ohio]

It's Florida, and the guy is a former cop

Of course it's justified

I don't believe he was thinking even that far ahead, I believe he made an emotional choice, panicked, and allowed his anger/ frustration to get to take over.

Stupid way to end your senior days after a lifetime career serving as an police officer protecting the public.

Basically these two guys got into an argument and one of them had a gun and decided to use it to kill the other.

The fact the shooter was a former cop may have just made him even more likely to use it.

Frankly this is sickening. I guess we will see how the judicial system in Florida deals with this. At least the killed guy was white so we don't have that issue to make this a major rallying cry for the racists.
