It turned out good for the victim but had the stun gun worked he would likely at best be missing a gun IF still alive. Lots of dumb ass thugs out there that get by with it.

What was the race of the victim? It may have not been as random as suggested.:rolleyes:

Let me tell you how this will end.....

The stun gun didn't go off so the stun gun guy will get a spanking and the guy that shot him in the *** will face attempted murder/assault with a deadly weapon and will have $300,000 worth of legal fees defending himself because he shot the guy in the *** which was not a defensive shot since the guy's backside was facing him. IOW running away.

While I don't feel that the guy who shot him should not face any hardship, he will.

If I read the article correctly, roughly 20% of the citizens are legally armed. That's an amazingly good number. Oh, and crime is in decline there too!

In Michigan it's not illegal to shoot a fleeing felon in order to retain him for the LEO's. Furthermore, he wasn't running yet, only turned around, further furthermore, they already gave the guy his gun back

Michigan has a "fleeing felon" law: "The use of deadly force to prevent the escape of a fleeing felon is justifiable where the following three circumstances are present: (1) the evidence must show that a felony actually occurred, (2) the fleeing suspect against whom force was used must be the person who committed the felony, and (3) the use of deadly force must have been "necessary" to ensure the apprehension of the felon. People v Hampton, 194 Mich App 593, 596-597; 487 NW2d 843 (1992)," quoted in the appeals court case Michigan v Nekeal Jones.

The young thug carried out his attack with an illegally owned/carried taser (MI requires a CPL in order to legally own/carry a taser) - a two year felony all by itself. The person who pulled the trigger was the victim of the felony, the person he shot was the felon. The shot was fired in order to assure the capture of the fleeing felon.

Case closed.
