    Woah woah woah, slow it down, we don’t know if it was murder yet. For all we know it was self defence.

        Exactly. The media—and people as a whole—need to stop automatically assuming he’s the killer. Even those who support him are still acting like he’s the one who did it. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

      People generally don’t have time to whittle words about their attackers profession onto bullet casings in a shootout, and fabricating untraceable firearms generally isn’t something rich people do for self defence.

        That’s merely your understanding of self defence.
        Other people like those in the jury may have a different understanding - and their understanding is more important here.

        Yes but no matter how obvious you think guilt is, eveyone has to go through a trial. Cops aren’t the judges or executioners.
