"He was having an affair with my girlfriend," said Ralph McLaughlin. "He also is in a relationship. I found out about it, and we ran into each other at the store and a confrontation ensued. I ended up hitting him once, and he went right straight to his truck. He turned around and shot me. I went down, and he shot me two more times."
McLaughlin calls it a disagreement between men, and even if Duplisea was trying to protect himself he took it too far.
"I hit him once, and he didn't try to do anything but get to his gun," he said. "When he got to his truck, he could've just hopped in his truck and left and went to the police station."
When asked if it was considered self defense he answered, "I would think one shot would be enough." |

QUOTES
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") |
