This story has been all over the place & I am suprised to be the 1st to post. When I read about this the other day, I was outraged this man has been charged with murder. It caused long & hot debate between Mr NoZ & me. Even LE & military training cannot fully prepare people for shooting other people. It is common to have no memory of how many shots were fired in high adrenaline situations..... I am not sure if the DA is covering his own rear-end by letting the court sort it out, is trying to avoid a racial problem or what.... Everything I have seen or read leads me to call "foul". Mr NoZ agrees with the "expert" who says Ersland went too far. I am anxious to know WS's opinions. Read up on the matter & jump in!
OKLAHOMA CITY "Confronted by two holdup men, pharmacist Jerome Ersland pulled a gun, shot one of them in the head and chased the other away. Then, in a scene recorded by the drugstore's security camera, he went behind the counter, got another gun, and pumped five more bullets into the wounded teenager as he lay on the floor.
Now Ersland has been charged with first-degree murder in a case that has stirred a furious debate over vigilante justice and self-defense and turned the pharmacist into something of a folk hero.
Ersland, 57, is free on $100,000 bail, courtesy of an anonymous donor. He has won praise from the pharmacy's owner, received an outpouring of cards, letters and checks from supporters, and become the darling of conservative talk radio"....... snip http://www.dailycamera.com/news/2009/may/29/pharmacist-arrested-killing-teenager-holdup/
