Somehow a dead man is the problem? Really?
In a civilized society dialogue is paramount to democracy. There is nothing to say people can't get angry and verbalize their anger, but, to resolve anger with a gun is not allowed. There is NOTHING the victim of this crime did to cause his death.

I don't know what one would call that, the Castle Doctrine or the Stand Your Ground Doctrine or the You Got Me Pissed Off Doctrine.
