I agree that you are quite justified in using deadly force to defend yourself, but once your assailant no longer poses a threat the word defense no longer applies. There is the kill confirmation and mercy kill angle to consider, but that doesn't typically entail any more than a second shot. This was definitely done in rage. What I want to know is why he got a second gun. Was he shooting with both for an adrenaline rush? That shows signs of being mentally disturbed. The first gun ran out of ammo when he chased the other robber outside. Where, you know, a stray bullet could've easily hit a night-time pedestrian or something like that.

Some people forget or ignore that

I'll just put this out there: Oklahoma still has the Death Penalty. He's fucking lucky he just got life. The validity of the life sentence is debatable, but the death penalty shouldn't even be on the table here.

Probably this Personally I do think life is a bit much. I personally would simply hit him with a fine and limit him to one gun from now on and leave it at that.

Be reasonable. We don't want to infringe on his right to own a lethal weapon solely because he's killed someone in cold blood. And jail sentences are so...Un-Constitutional. I mean, to deprive a man of his freedom JUST because he killed someone? It's not like he's BLACK or anything.

Am I the only one who assumed Art was taking the piss? Or, alternatively, will I get flamed to Hell by abunch of people who believe I think "black" should be a greater crime than killing someone?
