So I don't know if anyone heard has heard what happened over this past weekend, but I'm interested to hear what you all think about this incident.
Over the weekend a man went to a restaurant / bar with his girlfriend. While at the restaurant, the man insulted another mans wife or girlfriend and a fight ensued. I believe the first man was drunk at the time and eventually the restaurant owner threw the first man out.
A couple hours later when the second couple left with some of their friends, the first man had been laying in wait for them in the parking lot. As the second man went to his vehicle the first man started approaching obviously ticked off. Second man pulls his gun from his vehicle and tells first man to back off. First man keeps coming despite warnings and when close, second man shoots him dead. At the hospital they find two knives on dead man but according to witnesses the knives were never pulled at the scene.
So synopsis:
First man is drunk and gets into fight with 2nd man.
First kicked out of restaurant and waits a long period of time for second man.
1st man begins to confront second man in parking lot and ignores warnings / the sight of a loaded gun pointed at him.
1st man is shot dead by 2nd man.
Is this a justified use of deadly force?
