Tuesday evening's fatal shooting of a driver after a fight quickly escalated on a rural road northwest of Redding drew debate on local social media on when a person can shoot in self defense.
According to the Shasta County Sheriff's Office, the driver who was killed, 49-year-old Mark Alan Turner of Redding, and his passenger drove a Ford Expedition SUV to the end of City View Drive off Walker Drive Road to see the city lights. The pair parked at a turnout about 50 yards from the home of James Johnson, who told them they were trespassing and needed to leave. |

It's not clear whether he was on the public right of way or trespassing at the beginning of the conflict.
It is clear that he was engaged in a potentially deadly assault when he was shot. I don't see what else is left to argue about. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
