Wtf does this mean? Seems they either got it right or they didn’t. How can one “barely make the right decision?”

What I mean is, if this situation were to be replayed TEN TIMES exactly, with random citizens playing the part of three people involved, any dude that commits such a violent ASSAULT on an armed person, the assaulter would get shot in TWO or THREE of the "replays".

The jury had a tough one. When you carry a weapon, and go around being a parking enforcer, you have to be aware of some situational facts.

And let me clarify... your awareness at a Whole Foods in a wealthy suburb needs to be different than at a Cigs & 40s in a shitty neighborhood. Just a fact of life.

All that goes against the shooter, who ultimately should not have fired.

But it is SUCH a close one... if the "victim" had not been such a violent piece of shite, he'd have gone home and had a story to tell about some "crazy mofo in the parking lot".

That violent shove was a triggering event, that FORCED a reaction of "fight or flight" to occur. When you violently shove another person... your outcome if he is armed (or can kick your arse), is now a HUGE question.
