Taser, pepper spray, or billyclub. Agree nobody wants boiling water (possibly) thrown at them but we both know he is done for what he did. It is a perfect blend of bad judgment and circumstances all the way around.
Easy to say when you're not the one in that situation. If he's done then maybe we should ask why is he done? Is it because he simply wanted to murder this woman on purpose because he's a racist who hated her?
If that's the case, then why didn't he shoot her immediately upon arrival? Why have a half hour conversation with someone you hate, repeatedly ask them what's wrong, and check out the back of the property in order to ease her concerns if he truly hated her?
No, that's not the reason at all is it? The reason he's most likely done is because the jury will likely be filled with blacks and leftists who see this guy as an evil.white man who wanted to kill a black person.
That's why. Let's tell the truth and be honest about it. The racism didn't come from this man, it will come from the other side.
