Your opinion on the relevancy of my post is of no part of my concern.
Just by the responses garnered so far, yes it is very relevant. You see, based upon recent history of people claiming to feel threatened therefore shooting individuals as a defense, in which states that have stand your ground laws have made possible, and where there is no mention in the article of what was said or not said, done or not done during this encounter, my question is not only relevant, but serves as a reminder to all that wants to wait for more information in some cases, but are ready to be judge, jury, and executioner in other cases.
General: please spare me the bull$#@! comments that will either be about race or not liking animals because anyone that chokes a puppy should be removed from society.
