Murder or Self Defense

May 19th in My hometown of Oklahoma City, there was shooting at a pharmacy. Two teens tryed to rob the pharmacy. The pharmacist Jerome Ersland pulled a gun shooting the first teen in the head and chased the other out the door. Mr Ersland then returned and pulled another gun out from under the counter and shot the unconscious teen in the gut 5 more times. The debate is was he just defending himself or did he go to far and commit murder.

Under Oklahoma's "Make My Day Law" — passed in the late 1980s— people can use deadly force when they feel threatened by an intruder inside their homes. In 2006, Oklahoma's "Stand Your Ground Law" extended that to anywhere a citizen has the right to be, such as a car or their office.

So the question stands was he within his right? I said No it was murder theres no ifs ands or buts about it. Hey I am all for the 2nd Amendment, we all have the right to bare arms. I'll tell you what I will damn sure use deadly force if I'm in a situation that my life is in danger. However Mr Esrland was within rights at the start of the hold up once the teen was down and unarmed Mr Esrland was in no danger. The teenager was unconscious.

What he did is MURDER!!!
