Thoughts on the this self-defense case?

I have come to the conclusion that I don’t give any fucks anymore. I’m not wasting my time with the right or wrong of it. The clowns runs the show and get the outcome that is convenient for the agenda.
I have a life to live. Nothing benefits the common American Citizens anymore.

From what little I could get from the article, it sounds like a good shoot. The brothers FAFOed and got the Darwin Award. There doesn't seem to be any reason to assume the charges were dropped for social justice reasons, more likely the DA in question overcharged by jumping immediately to Murder 1. I don't know if there's a statute governing his failure to notify the police of the shooting but if there was anything to prosecute him for, it would be that, not murder. I expect he wanted to get away from the scene in case the brothers had backup coming -- he'd already been harassed as it was -- but he should still have reported it to the police once he got to a safe place.

I didn't follow this case closely.............. but there have been several, prior, news articles about the pressure on the DA to drop the remaining charge. Mass mailings etc, protests etc........... and yes, race was brought up.
If you google it, they should come up.

And if looked at objectively the question of leaving a scene of something like this is VERY MUCH a "two edged sword."
So I would consider carefully the "doors you are opening" in doing so............

PS:
Read the statement from the Denver Justice Project in the article:
"..........Unfortunately, the delayed injustice he has endured throughout his criminal proceedings has brought to light significant systemic inadequacies and racial disparities in the application of self-defense laws, particularly when Black men are forced to defend themselves against white aggressors. It is our hope that this dismissal not only rectifies the wrongs done to Stephan but also serves as a crucial step toward addressing these broader issues........"

Green hair, and NOT having tattoos are mutually exclusive.

Maybe things looked different 25 years ago, but not sure how Little Willie could be convinced to do his job.

These pics look like stand-ins for Deliverance.

Not enough information. The article is presented as a "he said" of the survivors account, and appears to be somewhat influenced by "trial in the press".

Any witnesses? There should've been several. Any witness accounts, statements?

I don't judge photos. I have little doubt the incident originated in road rage. Lawful use of self defense would require that the victim (e.g. survivor here) did not partake in escalating the road rage, e.g. that it was not by consent. I don't run on an assumption that he did, or didn't. I just don't blindly trust a survivors statement alone as being historical facts, as there's never a survivor that will explain what they could've done better in the situation.
