I don't believe in or agree with a law that allows a person to open fire because someone else knocked them on their [BLEEP] then backed away. The shooter should be charged with second degree murder. Partly because pulling a gun in that situation was an unreasonable escalation, but mostly because only a coward pulls out a gun when faced with a fistfight.

Who said anything about a fistfight?  I missed the part where the attacker pulled out the Queensbury Rules and said we will keep all aggression within these parameters.  But even if it was "just" a fistfight, does that mean it's okay for the younger and stronger to beat up the older and weaker?

When the "older and weaker" starts it with threats and has a history of saying he's going to kill someone? Absolutely. Threatening a woman with her babies in the car over a parking space? You're defending a piece of trash who abused his rights to kill someone. The more I read the more this guy needs to be put in front of a judge and jury, and maybe sit in a jail cell for the rest of his miserable life.
