The force he used was not reasonable because the two Black men were unarmed and had no weapons of any kind. <BR/>Also, the white shooter must have been a drug dealer, because the three Black men went to his home seeking to buy drugs, specifically, marijuana.<BR/>Moreover, the shooter's judgement was impaired because he was under the influence of marijuana and prescription medications. The fact that he had a legal prescription to use marijuana does not mitigate the facts that he used unreasonable force in defense of a property crime.<BR/>Now, under these circumstances how can the prosecutor refuse to bring any charges against the shooter? Choosing to invoke such a seldom used legal theory as "provokative acts" appears to clearly be an abuse of prosecutorial discretion. This would surely warrant an investigation by the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department.ichbinaljhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07968729252544011395noreply@blogger.com
