Jakkass got shot. Dead. He was terrorizing a group of people, waving a gun around, taking their stuff. No way to know if the guy was going to just walk out or turn around and see how many he could shoot. Society is improved by his removal.
Gun,real or not, apparently looked real enough to facilitate the crime.
I don't have a problem with the
Walk over, pump one in the punkin, return stuff to the people, walk out.

Twenty first century Lone Ranger stuff.

A Soros backed DA will run with this...............


Guaranteed!
When the people get tired of the idea that retribution dealt out by The People is supposed to be just like the expectations put on the cops, and the cops are not There to solve the problem, this is what happens.
Real Life is Not a play in a football game. Just because the ball carrier is down doesn't mean the guy spearing him in the back with his helmet means a fifteen yard unnecessary roughness or late hit penalty. When juries figure out how much better society will be when stomping the life out of criminals becomes common enough to dissuade criminals from trying it,crime will drop, dramatically. Juries need to support the People dealing with crime.
Go ahead, run with it. Drop every bit of the context of this event and pretend I'm saying Rufus should investigate the unsolved crime and determine who dunnit and then go mete out justice.

If a guy’s waving a gun around, threatening to shoot people and he turns his back to you so he can threaten the others in the room  and you’re armed, I’m not convicting you.

1) imagined threat?
2) I didn’t see the whole video. What happened?

imagined because the gun was a toy..

The fear was real.
Robbery committed using a fake gun?
Armed robbery.
Receive the money for a baggie of drugs
But the Drug was just foot powder?
Jail for selling drugs.


Being Wrong doesn't remove the Right to self defense.
Feeling like your life is in danger, even if later it's shown that was incorrect, if you hurt or kill someone trying to get out of the situation where you're terrified and convinced that you're going to get killed or seriously injured ,you can avoid prosecution.

The people who relinquished their possessions were not Imagining a threat. A man was in their faces, threatening them. Too bad someone Didn't notice the gun was not real. It would have changed the outcome. The perp would likely still be alive, handcuffed to a bed, recovering from a near fatal beating.

It's not a football game. The whistle blows, play is over. We hold cops to that idea. Dude made a call. Do citizens get qualified immunity? No? More than one reason to be certain the punk was dead. Society is improved, and the man who shot him won't be getting sued by the punk.

What is he guilty of? Mistreating a dead body?
Was he going to survive ?
Be interesting to know what the autopsy says..
It's Gonna be interesting if he answers the question
Why did you shoot him after you took his gun?

The fact it was a toy doesn’t matter. No one knew that at the time.

I’d have to see the video, but I’m frankly sick of crime. I’d be fine if someone started firing and smash and dashers.

I mean, at some point, don’t criminals need to be more afraid than they are right now? Doesn’t seem to be a lot of fear.

When I got the CCP we discussed multiple scenarios including this one.  When someone is no longer a threat your right to use deadly force is obsolescent.  We were told if you use your weapon at that point, be prepared to justify whatever you did to your peers in the jury.
