Remember the guy that shot an unarmed man after he shoved him to the ground? There was a thread on here about it this summer. A punk with a gun started harassing a women illegally parked in a handicap zone. Her husband came out of the store and shoved the guy to the ground. The guy pulls a handgun and kills him even though he was retreating after seeing the gun.
The shooter was charged with manslaughter and sentenced last month to twenty years.
Eh...wot?

The max for manslaughter in Florida is 30 years and the prosecution was pushing for that. the judge said he shaved ten off because the guy had a clean record and cooperated with police. He didn't have a clean record. There were four incidents prior to this shooting where he had road rage and pointed his gun at someone and got reported.
I agree, he should have gotten more time. He killed that guy in front of his family for no reason other than he got shoved to the ground over an incident he started.
Eh...wot?

Getting shoved to the ground isn't (normally) a threat to your life. Deadly force should be reserved for deadly situations.
It does not matter if getting shoved to the ground is a deadly threat or not. Once the man, who was shot, started backing away, the shooting was no longer justified.

While watching the video without sound, and observing the bystanders walking in and out of the store, it is pretty clear that this douche of a human being was raising his voice to the woman, then add all of the hand and arm gestures and getting up too close to the vehicle, I would have shoved him to the ground and then kick him in the teeth. I hate rudeness in a man. I won't tolerate it.

I don't remember his name but he was a skinny little white runt that was getting harassed by a bunch of darkies on the NY subway.He pulled out a gun and ventilated 4 or 5 of them.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Bernard Goetz. What does that have to do with this case?
