Florida sheriff makes reasonable stand-your-ground shooting sound like casual murder
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkKjkCBCGFsJason Boek swerved his truck in front of an Uber driver at 2 a.m., forced him to pull over, then approached his vehicle while claiming to have a pistol and threatening to shoot. Boek was stalking a woman and under the mistaken impression she was a passenger in the vehicle. The Uber driver, Robert Westlake, pulled his own gun and shot Boek once, killing him.Given the violent threat and the dangerous circumstances, no-one's in trouble: Westlake even performed CPR and called 911, to no avail. But here's the local sheriff to put the unique stamp of Florida on it all:Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said Mr Boek was a "goofball"."Here's a message for the hotheads of the community: don't do that stuff," the sheriff said."Good people carry guns and they will shoot you. A lot. Graveyard dead."
