Here's A Situation........

[this-one-time-at-bandcamp]

An individual who alledges he interrupted a burglary at his home, jumped in his vehicle, trailed the fleeing perpetrator for a distance, then ran him over...........fatally.  Some folks on facebook laud him as a hero, far too few bother to examine the consequences of his actions.  He had already notified the police, and he was in no fear for his life.

Do you think, with the information provided, he should be indicted for, at least, 2nd degree murder?

Back a few years ago,  armed gunmen entered a drugstore in Oklahoma.......the manager wounded one, then chased the others outside.  He returned, went into the back room to obtain another weapon, then pumped five more shots into the first thug, who was laying on the floor.

A jury found that he was justified in the first shot, but the following five shots constituted murder, and the manager was sentenced to life in prison.  That same week, the other robbers were convicted of murder and sentenced also.

Did someone intentionally run someone down?

(The apparently forgotten topic of diccussion here.)

Evidence?

Do share, o observationally skilled one!

that link wasnt about a guy being run over. so did that really happen or is it a hypothetical?

It's extremely confusing, but the OP asked us to comment on the Oregon story without saying it happened in OR or being able to provide any meaningful info. which could lead to a proper discussion.

He ALSO mentioned an incident in the OP where a pharmacist shot a robber in Oklahoma, attempting to conflate the two stories without anywhere near enough info. on the more recent Oregon incident to allow intelligent commentary.

Conflate. A word I've hardly ever seen used, yet I've now seen (EDIT: twice) in less than a week. What an odd coincidence.

---

i've seen the word used here and there. & if you do a search where you and those posters originated

you'll find many posters said "conflate" in about 40 discussions
