Police: Arizona Walmart shooting was self-defense

40. Actually it does matter.

You can get kicked to death in front of a crowd of people, in today's world, sadly.

IF this guy didn't start the argument, and IF he didn't start the fight, and IF he was, indeed in fear for his life, then this sounds like a reasonable use of force in self defense.

If he failed on any of those points, then no, he done fucked up, and should be held to account.


I carry a concealed pistol. But rule #1 in training was about threat de-escalation. You can't take a bullet back, and you can't un-dead someone. Deadly force in self defense is last resort, not first, and you SURE as hell don't go provoking people.

If this guy was getting beaten, and he did NOTHING to cause it, argument OR physical altercation, then I don't see the problem.
But if he fucked up.. well. That's a problem then, isn't it.
