      In no way do I condone his actions, so let’s start with that. Coulda, shoulda, whatever, is not what his trial was about.

      Given the video evidence presented, he shot in self-defense. Given Washington state’s law regarding self-defense, he shot in self-defense. Not going to replay it all, you can see for yourself.

      All in all, it was a clusterfuck of biblical proportions. “Should have never happened.”, isn’t a legal doctrine. “He went looking for trouble and found it.”, isn’t a thing.

      As to why we’re still talking about this little maggot? Fuck if I know. I’d be the first to punch him in his fat face. I would happily spend the weekend in jail and lose on a battery charge.
