“You have to understand this is a 69-year-old man who is a military veteran who has been honorably discharged,” Michael Puglise says. “He dedicated his life to community service, specifically the Christian Lay Ministry in Latin America.”
SO FUCKING WHAT. HE'S ALSO A MURDERER.
JFC. He had no damn business shotting someone like that who had no weapon and was posing no imminent threat. STFD, lawyer. He can't get out of this one on privilege, whether that's white privilege, Christian privilege or anything else.
seriously, the guy was even pulling away! I can't even understand shooting a warning shot (unless you REALLY legitimately feel like you're in danger, which this guy obviously wasn't because he had a gun and the victim didn't) because you could still end up hurting someone on accident. so shooting at someone who is clearly trying to gtfo of there is even more mind-boggling to me.

...So?? I don't care if he's the Queen of bloody Sheba--he used excessive force and murdered another person. The end.
I could give a fuck less whether this old man was a veteran and I don't give a fuck if he has no prior criminal history. He's a MURDERER now. Plain and simple as that.

I love how they mention *specifically* that he's worked with the ministry in Latin America. No doubt to try and say 'hey, he didn't MEAN to be a threat to this Latino dude! It was all a mistake! Look how many souls he's saved elsewhere!'
Ugh. I pull in to driveways and back up/turn around if I need to and there's nowhere else to turn around at. Since when does that equal potential home invasion? Who the hell greets people turning into their driveway with a freaking GUN??
And what ever happened to 'shoot to disable/disarm'? I mean, if he *truly* thought he was in danger, fire a warning shot, then go back inside and CALL 911! That's what it's there for!
If you think someone's coming to rob your house--why on earth would you go outside in the first place? Good grief.
