Handguns are carried for defense. When the assailant is fleeing, there is no self-defense situation anymore. That's vigilantism, not defense.
Second, we are responsible for wherever that bullet does after it leaves the barrel.
If the blurb correctly captures what actually happened, it appears Earls acted improperly. Does that rise to a level of a crime? I would say that it does, but I was not there when the evidence was being presented.
Lawful gun carry and self-defense have been maliciously prosecuted so often that the Grand Jury is evidently erring on the side of not indicting (presuming innocence), even when it is in a tragic situation like this. This is an unintended consequence of dirty prosecutions like the one Rittenhouse faced. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
