    I dont see it that way
    Those boys had clean records before this
    They weren't into starting trouble

    The crazy assed dead guy was a walking terror
    Multiple arrest, terroristic threats, hell the mail man wouldn't even come to his house any more for fear of body injury

    That guy needed killing
    Lol I just restarted this whole thread. My bad.

    Sure did. He was a loser. I agree man. However it takes two to dance. It took two parties to fight over trash. I mean...just look at everyone in that video. No one is really winning at life. Lol.

    A lot of poor choices made by two parties that day. One guys dead, two guys who had clean records chose to not keep their temper under control and just walk a dispute over trash off. All this happened over a mattress my friend. And a dumpster.

    Ever watch car crash or road rage videos on You Tube? People just let their egos get the best of them. Happens daily. I hope everyone here has had training in conflict deescalation. Take a breath and don't be forced into killing someone because you could not control your temper, Don't get killed because you would not back down.

    Don't flip people off in traffic, learn to ignore a person who calls you names or tries to instigate you.

    reminds me of this ""Here lies the body of Johnny O'Day
    Who died Preserving His Right of Way.

    He was Right, Dead Right, as he sailed along
    But he's just as dead as if he'd been wrong".

    Nobody won that night

    Wonder if any of the three had been drinking?

    baboon,

    MOST LIKELY. Or perhaps they were taking some other mind-altering substance.
    (In the "parking space fight", at least 2 or the 3 participants were "other than sober", according to responding LEOs/EMTs.)

    yours, satx

    I watched it again. It looks very, very bad for the shooters. Unless, of course, there was something not on the video. Can't kill someone for being obnoxious.

    Suicide by stupidity.

    Darwin Award time.

    Just so wrong in so many ways.
    The shooters will end up behind bars. Had no reason to stay, had 100 opportunities to fade away.

    The dead guy was the primary instigator/perpetrator. The most "guilty" IMO.

    Analogy:
    Try poking a rattlesnake in the nose with your index finger 100 times and then blame it when you get bit!!!!

    If they weren't trespassing on someone else's property, they had every right to stay.

    Uh, they definetely escalated it with a person they knew had mental issues. The fact that they killed a social menace doesn't get them off the hook. They should have acted like sensible adults instead of asshats.
    I agree.
    And I still say they did the world a favor.

    But they will do serious time for the same reason North is doing over David shooting....They could have walked away but instead opted to push the conflict!

    North was just a better shot , otherwise he could be dead and the other guy in jail.
    Both of them were stupid
    It cost one his life and the other his freedom

    No, the initial conflict was over...drivers went back to their cars and North opted to back into the David car... jumped out and shot him in the head. He escalated the conflict and is paying the price...............

    The David had a gun also and had it out

    From an eyewitness at the trial
    "The guy in the white mustang jumped out again with his pistol and the guy in the pickup just got out and shot him twice... in the face," said Jamaine Robinson

    Damn...not hard to misunderstand that.
    North shot and killed his ass before he could get a shot off at him
    David deserved prison but he got himself killed so North went to prison

    And these two morons escalated the incident with someone they knew was troubled.
    Has there been testimony as to what these 2 "knew"about him being "troubled "
    I guess I missed that.
