I would have killed them all
Those idiots will eventually get out of jail, he should have killed them all and then gone to confession, then jail.
Just saying.
Gang members using automatic weapons murdering an unarmed senior citizen standing on public property in view of witnesses.
How exactly are they going to get out of prison?
Alleged gang members. That still won't prevent them from claiming self defense, since he came to them and they thought he was reaching for his gun. This is the US remember, the country with the most retarded legal system on the planet. Even if their weapons are illegal they can still claim self defense.
shareAlleged gang members.
Assuming you aren't using the "legal" aspect of "alleged", they are gang members. They are known for that. When they go to trial, there will be no issue with showing their involvement.
That still won't prevent them from claiming self defense, since he came to them and they thought he was reaching for his gun.
They can claim that all they want. They can claim Walt paid them to rape Sue. Do you think any of that will hold up in court?
Again, Walt was standing on public property. If anyone heard what he said, it wasn't threatening. He had a cigarette in his mouth, was talking about getting a light, reached into his jacket and grabbed his lighter - and they shot him. They have witnesses to these actions.
The police found no weapon of any kind on him. He's an elderly man with a half-dozen young thugs threatening HIM. The DA will successfully argue that Walt was no threat to the thugs and they murdered him.
So, yes. I agree the US has an effed up legal system. But, in this case, an elderly man with no weapon, not saying anything threatening is shot down by gang members using illegal weapons while standing on public property is a slam-dunk for the DA. share
They can claim that, sure. It's one of those times the jury system will work like a charm. "*beep* gangs. 2x life. Bye!"
shareThey can CLAIM self defense. It wouldn't work. The US legal system can be stupid but there's no way they got out of this. They didn't just shoot Walt, an unarmed old man. They unloaded on him.
Where was the self defense anyways? An old man reaches into his pocket for a lighter, so that means it's okay to shoot him? Sure, WE know they thought Walt would have a gun on him, but the police don't know that. Walt is just a regular old man to them. If Walt had a gun on him, then maybe they'd get away with self defense. But with him being unarmed, they don't.
Also, there's no way Walt could have killed them all. Walt was tough, but he was also old and sick, and was facing 6 armed thugs with automatic weapons who were expecting him to come. If Walt had tried to kill them, maybe he could have gotten one or two if he somehow managed to surprise them, but then he'd have been gunned down.
