so, King, what exactly do you think those 2 guys were herding the marine into the closet for? do you REMOTELY think he might have considered that he WAS DEFENDING his life? what was he supposed to do to satisy your requirements - hand over his wallet then plead for his life? hope they went away?
based on the story as presented to us, they hadn't turned their backs and started walking away. they weren't shot in the back.
i suppose he should have just peacefully acquiesced, then after they killed him, everybody could then say he should have shot them.
real world, King. get with the program. things aren't like they were and criminals now kill for pocket change. personally, were he a loved one of mine, i'd be glad he did what he did and was still alive. of the 3 people involved, the RIGHT one is still alive. what part of that math goes over your head?
