Also remember, things are newsworthy because they’re novel. US sees like 2 gun deaths per day and thousands due to insurance company malpractice, but this one death dominates newscycles.

      If I serve on his jury, I’ll for sure push for nullification.

      Sure he broke a law, we can all acknowledge that.

      But was he wrong? (Based on the overall reaction I’d argue society doesn’t think so, and that’s where laws come from) Or are the laws, allowing things to get to a place where this is understandable behavior, wrong?

        Self defense. He wasn’t wrong, he was forced to act because someone else was using deadly force against millions of Americans.
