Copied from MLive Stainless1911 post in the comment section

"Instead of showing respect and common courtesy, this is another case of people hiding behind the law thinking things like "I can do what I want, I'm in a public street, I don't care if it makes him mad" They got what they had coming."

Stainless1911 strikes again. Supporting the cold blooded murder of the two victims for nothing more than not showing common courtesy?!?!?!?! They got what they had coming!?!?! I wish he would just disappear, he is every gun owners worst nightmare, the living stereotype every anti envisions.

the article seems to keep talking about not having all the facts yet the author has a pretty good understanding why everything bad happened. . .ya, the author must be right. . .

You can't expect that a person can be aggravated indefinitely, and either could, or even should just have to swallow it.

In some states, a person can be legally shot for just cutting through their property, so Im not that far out of line.

Either you can cite specific state statutes that support your statement below or you cannot. If you cannot, you should edit your post to remove the statement to remain within forum rules.

It's the bottom of the 9th 2 outs & stainless is at the plate with 2 strikes....the tension is so thick the crowd could cut it with a knife...here's the pitch from PD & it's a blazing fast ball right down the the middle of the plate....

Stay tuned as we break for station identification.....

You are WAY out of line. Your gun is ONLY supposed to be used when you are facing death or grave bodily harm. You would take a life or two just because people were talking loudly in the middle of the street at 4am?!? Why not just call the police and let them come and make these people leave? That is their job, to keep the peace. If the man had done that, those people would still be alive and he wouldn't be sitting in jail, possibly going to prison. Another shooting just because someone was aggravated. As if the shooting of the panhandler at Mickey D's wasn't enough. People get a grip! If your fuse is that short, you shouldn't carry a gun and probably shouldn't even own one! Every unjustified shooting just gives the antis more ammunition to fight us with. And the liberal politicians DO listen to their anti gun liberal constituants. Comments like yours, from a gun owner no less, certainly don't help the rest of us. Zip it!!

That's not something that I would do, but when someone does these kinds of things, I understand it.

I don't have an official cite for that, but one of the first things that I was told when I moved to West Virginia, is to never just cut across some unknown property because people can shoot you for it. I've heard similar things about several states. Most recently here on OCDO when a young boy was shot in texas for it.

I don't have a cite for shoplifting, but I know that its illegal. I know it isn't illegal to wear a blue shirt either, But I'm sorry, again, no cite for that either.

Just because a person has 2 strikes at the bottom of the 9th, doesn't mean you should try to hit the batter with the ball.
