Because I do not care to copy and paste all the sources that
have shown this to be a pretty righteous shoot.

I'm not saying it ain't so.  I'm not asserting that it was a criminal
act.  To "prove" self defense (where the level of proof has never been
articulated; I would accept: "a preponderance of the evidence).
<fat-finger send>, the default assumption has to be the "it ain't so",
and this must be rejected by the evidence.

What you're doing is reading a media account (& they're all based on
essentially the same news releases), and makeing a call that it was an
act of self defense.  It could just as easily be explained as a dope
rip-off.  If the media report is all we have, I cannot reject that
possibility.

That's what I mean when I say: "the scientific method".  Call it:
"burden of proof", if you please.
