For example, take this yahoo in Victorville, CA ...
Did you catch that? Some dudes grabbed some shoes from his shoe store and took off running. He ran out into the mall behind them and, realizing he wasn't going to catch them, just started blasting at the fleeing shoplifters. His bullets hit a little girl and put her in the hospital.
Luckily he didn't kill her, so he's only being charged with attempted murder instead of the whole enchilada, and frankly he deserves it. Any sympathy I had for dude evaporated when he threw down in the middle of the mall for no good reason.
Deadly force is only justifiable when there is the immediate, otherwise unavoidable, danger of death or great bodily harm to yourself or another innocent person.
Literally none of those preconditions were met here. If you're going to carry a gun in public, knowing when and why you can use it is entirely your responsibility.
This guy ain't on my team.
