A convenience store clerk in Richmond was charged with manslaughter after defending himself during a robbery at a convenience store where he worked. How did self-defense become manslaughter?
Obviously, I don't know the details of this case. My theory here is that the Mr. Simmons was charged with manslaughter because he fired several shots at Mr. Harris outside of the store while he was running away. Your claim of self-defense ends the moment the threat on your life stops. In this situation, Mr. Simmons should not have followed the bad guy outside of the store and he certainly should not have kept shooting. If Mr. Simmons had stayed inside the store and called the cops, I do not think he would have been charged at all - even if Mr Harris had died from the injuries.

2020 Presidential Candidates are "in a race to the bottom" to see who can promise the biggest attacks on our 2nd Amendment freedoms. For example, Kamala Harris has said she will make Executive Orders to enact gun control within 100 days of taking office.
Hollywood actors and actresses are also calling for gun control while protected day and night by armed security. At the recent Academy Awards, the police protection was on par with when the President visits! This hypocrisy should come as no surprise to us. Hollywood celebrities and politicians are not at all in-touch with the day to day lives of normal Americans. |
