        Please don’t compare to Trayvon martins case, or the case from a few weeks back. This was as clear as day. No questions could be asked about this case this isn’t controversial at all. Any reasonable man would have done the exact same in this situation.

        I’m not a fan of “stand your ground”...or at least how it is applied in FL. But this was justified...it was clearly a case of self defense.

        I agree he was justified, but it still doesn't change the fact that if there had been no gun present, both of these men would almost surely still be alive today. The mere presence of a gun turned this into a deadly encounter.

        Yeah but at night, car slamming on brakes, blocking you in. Coming toward you saying "Im going to shoot you" What do you supposed to do?? Wait and see if he means it or not? This idiot deserved what he got, end of story.

        In the time it took him to react to the situation, if the guy in the truck had actually had a gun, he could have shot first. I Would have locked my doors, and kept driving. It doesn't change the fact that the presence of a gun turned this into a deadly encounter.

        When you can figure out how to not have bad, dangerous, or evil people, that’s the point in time when can get rid of certain guns that aren’t used for hunting or competition.

        He did not have a gun... and he did not try to enter the Uber drivers car. This is manslaughter straight up

        Lol. Guy blocks car in the middle of the road, jumps out and comes toward your car threatening to kill you. What do you do, wait to see if he is serious or not? If he is serious, you will be dead. End of story. Good for this Uber driver for protecting him and his passenger.

        Why does it offend so many people when a good guy who follows the law has the same rights as a criminal who doesn’t follow the law and is able to defend himself?
