For those of you commenting on how many times he was shot: I was taught that if you have to use your weapon, empty it at the target. Otherwise, if he is just wounded he may be able to use your own gun against you if it is still loaded.

regarding this comment: “Good for him. He had someone in front of him on property the victim did not belong on and came at Hobbs in a threatening manner, reaching into his pocket, I would have done the exact same thing. As for “he shot him 5x” I’d empty the gun too… I was told by a long time stand-up LEO that if I had to shoot someone on my property, empty the gun on them and dead man can’t testify against you. Case in point.”

Danny was literally on the street leading to his home. Jonathan and Dawn hunted him down and slammed into his car causing him to get out if his car. They were aggressive the whole time, never Danny.

When I took my CC class, one instructor emphasized several times, “if you’re ever involved in a gun related incident, call 911, give them your name, the address and report that there has been an injury with a gun, send an ambulance and sheriff.” Then, hang up immediately. Say no more. You’re not obligated to stay on the 911 line and keep talking. Call your lawyer and don’t speak until your counsel is with you.

??? This what I suspected was the often the reason for the “shoot to kill mindset”. Not so much as neutralize the threat, but to avoid anyone knowing what happened. I guess we now hear it secondhand from the horse’s mouth.

I believe in the trial by jury system!
I’ll also believe he barely got by with this one.

I have watched plenty of shooting situations of police body camera footage, and its not uncommon to see officers doing a mag dump on a shooter. Very common in fact. There is something about a persons will to live…don’t you think!

REGARDING:
“the guy was shot 5 mind you 5 times how is that self defense”

If you actually think someone is trying to kill you, you do whatever it takes to stop him. Your first shot may have missed. It may have been stopped by something like a wallet or a cellphone. He may be dying but still able to kill you.

Consider Cpl. Sydney Manning of the Flomaton monument and medal of honor in World War One.He did what he did while suffering from nine wounds in all parts of his body.

I am not comparing him to them, but he held back the Germans after being shot repeatedly and returned to Flomaton without anyone knowing at the time what he had done.

David for better people
