re: Man complains that he'll lose his job after killing teen.

My wife is from the area. Just a few blocks from where this occurred. Very, very rough part of town. I am going to go with the old man being scum on this one. Not saying the kid was a saint, but he did not deserve to be gunned down.

ETA: Based on the articles, the kid did not demonstrate the means or intent to kill or seriously injure the old man. He was not in fear of his life. This should be a slam dunk for an even moderately competent DA. And yet I think he will probably walk.

Whatever happened between the shooter and the teens days or weeks before the shooting is irrelevant. Tpos came off the porch to confront.

tPOS came BACK from the store to the porch to start it again.

I'm sorry not sorry whitey will be facing life in prison

So your idea of a blameless victim is someone who refuses to back down over a pointless argument and then approaches someone with the ostensible intention of violence. Both of these people are clearly violent, and neither one is blameless. They both seem like pretty scummy shite bags. You know, the type of people who would get into a violent argument over accidentally bumping into someone. Everything else that you have said in this thread is nothing more than a manipulative red herring, and has no meaning other than pushing your predetermined agenda.

Who said that the "victim" crossed the street, as you posed? How about the physical evidence of the location of the body. Are you now going to try to push some narrative where the shooter crossed the street to shoot the man then dragged his body across the street so that the man would appear like the aggressor? Do you realize how stupid and transparently biased you are?

ETA: They both had opportunities to end the confrontation, and that neither one did proves that there is no such thing as a victim in this situation. Just two pieces of trash that nearly took each other out while making the world more violent for the rest of us.

That POS beat a pregnant woman and wasn't supposed to own a gun. Yet it's the victims fault he got killed? I bet if the races were reversed the tone of this thread would be totally different

Absolutely. You most certainly would have people talking about the shooter's history of domestic violence and punching his pregnant daughter's face and asking about the daughter's baby daddy. Except in this case, we have people actually saying the shooter's history of violence is irrelevant because they are certain that the "TPOS" was going to jump the old man, even though he had no history of violence. Old man was just defending himself from the young boogeyman.

Dosnt strike you as a pacifist's move does it?

The shooting of the teen? Or the punching of the pregnant daughter;s face? Or the domestic violence? Or the bullying of the brother of one of the teens? Or the carrying of a gun when he is not supposed to? Clearly that teen is a TPOS the man should get off because he was defending himself from some bad words.

He doesn't have a history of violence with a gun,

bullshite; he forcefully shoved a gun in his pregnant daughter's face. EDT: My mistake; he ONLY beat her in the face with his fists

The teens were screwing with him and when the teen decided to "keep it real" by approaching the old man as he was walking home from the store the situation escalated. I also don't believe that other kid saying that the old man was picking on his younger brother. I guarantee you those teens have been messing with that old man for a while and he finally snapped.

More mental gymnastics please.

I don't see in the article were it says he shoved a gun in his daughters face. I'm I missing it?

He doesn't have a history of violence with a gun,

Your racism is thinly veiled.

Not seeing it in the original article. It says "Pulliam struck his pregnant daughter in the face several times with a closed fist and kicked her in the stomach." You're an idiot with an agenda and you're the racist not me. Learn how to read and comprehend what you're reading.
