Challenging read- Special ops soldier won’t face charges after fatally shooting civilian on his property

And we don't know the soldiers background, where he served, etc. Some of those guys have prices on their heads.

That is an interesting point, one which I had not considered.

It would certainly change the threshold of behavior, or nature of behavior, at which he would perceive a threat.

He may, as a result, have a very different view of the world than your typical homeowner.

If this guy was a Chechen , fresh off the boat so to speak then he's probably not used to being a diplomat . That's a different world over there with a violent history . Disputes are settled in a completely different way if you get my drift ...

Like I said earlier, if I was to shoot someone, you better believe I'm going to tell the deputies that he "became aggressive and lunged". Yes sir, that man was absolutely deranged! *wink*

"I feared for my life and the life of my family"

It works for police so it will work for "us".

I mentioned it way earlier in the thread - dead men can't talk. The shooter can make up any version of events he/she wants as long as it fits the scene. And seriously, how in-depth will a local sheriff's department do against a military officer and a foreigner (especially one of Eastern European descent) ?

The homeowner made a tragic error in judgment also.

That's debatable. I wasn't there so I can't judge that.

Chechnian, entered the country illegally from the Southern border

If so, how was he in our country legally?

Fake news. You can guess what news network made up that story....and later retracted it. Wouldn't be the first time they've done that but it doesn't stop the sheep from hanging on to the story.
