    This is so ridiculous. He killed a dude. That’s worthy of the death penalty (not in Texas)!? People have done worse to many people, or children, or… and not been sentenced to death.

    Even if you’re 100% against murder in all circumstances and feel he should be locked up forever, you have to see this is just CEO’s exercising their outsized influence to discourage further punishment of the 1% and corporate leaders that prey on Americans…

      Murder is legal in self-defense or to save the live of another.

      That’s how you need to look at this.

        It’s not murder if it’s done in self-defense or to save the life of some other innocent person. It’s justifiable homicide.

          Depends on what country you live in. In Canada that is not a valid reason to kill.
