I think the two point that you cannot get around are:
* He shot a 13 year old child...through the back of a car that was driving away from him.
* He was shooting at a vehicle...that he could not clearly see in to...that was moving...on a public road, etc, etc...
And just because someone has a CHL doesnt make them a member of some club I'm a part of any more than someone with a drivers license who kills someone while driving drunk is a "fellow driver". The military/cop reference earlier was intended to preclude the idea that having a CHL somehow contributed to this guys stupid behavior.
True he is entitled to due process, etc...but this is something that will follow him around for the rest of his life. There are some "mistakes"(I'm using that word generously) you just dont make.
A great big AMEN on all points. This piece of garbage is not a member of any group I belong to. Personally... I would enjoy using some tin snips on him. But maybe that is just me.
I am a bit old fashioned about killing innocent children.PS of coarse this piece of garbage has stories at this point trying to stay out of jail. He is obviously trying to justify the fact that he lost his cool and killed an innocent child. I hope his cell mate puts the ole wedding ring on him and has him wearing pony tails.
