Not. One. Bit.

Two LSU football players meet some dude to sell him a piece of electronics. The dude pulled a gun on them to rob them. He dies when one of the players shot him in self-defense. The dude was eighteen years old. THAT's the story I read based on the facts presented. An eighteen year old thug dies while committing a robbery. The stories I've read tend to emphasize the part about the football players shooting the dude while de-emphasizing the fact that it appears to be a clear case of self-defense. One radio news outlet even called the dude a victim. He isn't a victim of anydamnthing. He a criminal shot in the commission of a crime. He a criminal shot in the commission of a violent felony. I'm sorry for the football player who had to shoot him. I'm even sorry for the criminal's family and their loss. I'm not sorry for the criminal who pulled a gun on the wrong person.
