Car-brain makes people do craaaaazy things |
It's the price negligent bad parents have to pay. |
True |
Moral people don't endorse negligent parents or kids stealing repeatedly from hard working people. There's a middle ground between Texas and DC, where maybe we can enjoy the fruits of our labor and also hold parents responsible for their negligence. |
Agreed, but what do we know about the claim the the kid was running towards the shooter? That being credible would be the make or break issue for me on self-defense. |
Yeah. I don't think this guy should have walked, but the sentence seems inappropriate for the circumstances. 5-10 years is what I expected. |
It's a lie, just like how he lied on the stand about taking shots. Just face it, he over-reacted because his car-brain went into overdrive and he wanted to teach a lesson who someone committing a property crime. He got what he deserved. |
There was a video, wasn't there? But it was too low quality for me to see what was going on. Did the prosecution dispute the kid was running towards him? |
He was shot in the chest. Yes, he was running towards him. |
Any supporters of the prosecution have an explanation of this? |
The issue seems to have been that the prosecution said that Lewis came out, shot once or twice at the car/group, then when Blake stay running towards him, shot again. The defense said that Lewis heard a sound that he thought was a gunshot, that he thought they were shooting, then fired when one of them started coming towards him. The initial video wasn't clear, whether Lewis shot first or they did or no one did until Blake was running towards Lewis. I don't think the prosecution said how many times, total, that Lewis fired his gun. |
You're not wrong, but what's your solution? Sadly, this isn't the last time something like this happens. We need to hold parents ACCOUNTABLE. |
At the very least, the parents should be in prison as long as Lewis is there. |
What does this mean? |
It means the pp's bike shorts have squeezed his balls too hard for him to form a coherent sentence. |
