Remember people were defending the shooter? Jesus. If you think he did nothing wrong and own firearms, please turn them in before you murder someone.

First time I saw this but seems like a fair next decision to charge.
That said, don't assault people, the stupid prize to stupid games is often a bullet.

Wait people defended the shooter? (of course)...Its funny how people treat "self defense". so many times i see shooters being defended for shooting first, but in this case a man walks out of a store and sees a strange man shouting at his wife who is inside a car with his children, so he comes over and pushes him away in their defense. he doesn't know what that man is doing...and the reaction is "welp, i mean you were violent did you expect NOT to get shot?".

Im glad this dude got charged.

if someone is confronting your wife and kids in an aggressive manner you have every right to defend them. In this case the instigator was dealt with using "self defense" and then that instigator continued to make the situation worse by taking out his gun.

You shouldn't be saying "if you don't want to get shot don't push people", you should be starting with "if you don't want to get pushed on the ground don't start being aggressive towards people for no reason". "He had to shoot his life was in Danger!"...he put himself in that "dangerous" situation first. don't blame the people defending themselves. blame him.

Yeah there were quite a few people saying the shooter did nothing wrong because his life was in danger. But the guy was already backing off when he shot him

But its no longer defense once your assailant is walking away. At that point it becomes retaliation.

Retaliation =/= defense

the shooter is the one who started it. he is the villain of the story. the victim was a hero defending his wife. I hope the shooter goes to prison

if you know the backstory of how it all started, the shooter has a history of bitching about parking spots in front of that store. and he was threatening the wife

Once someone gets physical with you, you have the right to defend yourself.

Don't ever lay your hands on another person, even if they're being a shit-talking asshole

that right vanishes as soon as the threat is gone. when he shot, the victim was walking away

Why wasn't Zimmerman charged for doing the same thing?

Laws are inconsistent

Zim has his head knocked against the pavement multiple times and reason to fear for his life. These cases are so different, there's no inconsistency in the law.

what a joke. Manslaughter really? why is he not being charged with homicide? manslaughter means that he did not have intent to kill. But he did have that intent when he shot at vital organs

Manslaughter is a form of homicide. What the hell are you babbling about.
