I do wonder how this thread would be going if it was a African-American killed by a white farmer in Alabama. We'd probably be hearing a lot about Americans and their guns, racist southerners, etc. It's often a lot easier to see biases and entrenched racism from the outside than it is within your own society.

I dont disagree on any particular point. But here we are.
They went for this guy for Murder.
Why?
He exceeded the necessary force required to defend himself and there are provisions for that. Those provisions went unused.
Why?
I really dont care about the race.
They got nice and wasted and tried to rob a guy and things went south. And here there are people trying to blame to the guy who reacted to Hell opening up.
I have a hard time here. Leaving race aside, what do you do? If you want my God's Honest answer it would be this:
We need fewer guns. All around.
