This is a tragedy.

He was assaulted by someone who knew he was armed.

I'm not suggesting the attacker deserved to die.

However, persisting in a physical assault against someone who has all already discharged their firearm, is recklessness that borderlines Insanity.

If discharging a firearm doesn't stop an assault, then what will it take?

    The guy who attacked Jake Gardner deserved to die.

    Why?

    Because he was damaging property, and assaulting a business owner?

    Anyone with a conscience feels some degree of guilt after events such as this. Regardless of any legal justification.

    Jake Gardner sounded like a decent enough fellow.

    Did he deserve to live with the guilt of killing someone?

      When a person is defending themselves and their property justly, then anyone attacking them should expect to die.

      Maybe they should. It doesn't mean they will, or that other will agree.

      I have no sympathy for the thugs who attacked him.

      Do you have sympathy for the regrets a person may have who killed someone that they didn't want to have to kill?
