    Expand the tweet and read all the circumstances.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Seems like self defense.

      Since this kid was under 18 and illegally had a firearm, where do they go from here?

      If it were me, he could be charged with some sort of gun crime (possession of a gun when not allowed or something like that), but certainly not murder

        It's self defense.

        He can still be brought up on gun charges.

          Can’t tell much from that camera angle.

          They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

            Animals. Kill them all.

            We may have to make that choice at some point when the sheer numbers of the lawless make an ordered, safe society impossible.

                Had I been the driver I’d have gunned it (no pun intended) and crushed the perp between the cars. All while ducking down in the seat.

                Or so I imagine here on my sofa with my wine glass and iPhone.

                  @jon-nyc said in Self Defense?:

                  Had I been the driver I’d have gunned it (no pun intended) and crushed the perp between the cars. All while ducking down in the seat.

                  My thought as well.

                  What's not told in the story is that the driver was working for a company that moves cash around. He had $100K cash in the car, and somehow (!) the shooter knew that.

                  It took 6 seconds for the guy to respond to the shooting (you can see timestamps and a reflection of his hand in the windshield).

                  My opinion? Not a justified shooting. The robber ran as soon as he saw the driver's gun.

                  Or so I imagine here on my sofa with my wine glass and iPhone.

                  Ah, the bourgeois life!
