Damn he just burned his neighbor down

Because of his anger/loss of self-control...we missed out on what was sizing up to be a fun/action filled fight..RIP

Homie thought his attempted sucker punch was the right move. Let me escalate the violence before he is ready. Then the other escalated the violence to a point even his wife was appalled. Now if he lives in a stand your ground state he might be good. Homie did step on his property and swing on him.
 
I remember that story. There is a thread around here somewhere.

Terrifying video captured the moment an enraged man pulled out a gun and shot his neighbor dead during a dispute outside their homes in Costa Rica earlier this week.

The minute-long clip showed a woman walking out of her garage past a pickup truck as a couple next door yelled at her from their doorway at the Rio Palma condominium in the city of Escazu, Costa Rica.

The first woman stops walking and shouts back, which led her husband, later identified as Eduardo Ramírez Zamora, to step into the frame.

Zamora, 53, initially tried to hold his wife back before seemingly changing his mind, whipping out a gun from his waistband, and loading it before concealing it under his clothing again.


The Zamoras’ neighbors, Otoniel Orozco Mendoza and his wife, made their way out of their home and to the grassy driveways, where they confronted the Zamoras, shouting and pointing fingers.

The two couples had been arguing about a shared water valve around 7 a.m. Monday, TMZ reported, citing the Costa Rican newspaper La Nacion.

As the two men stood face to face, Mendoza, 53, squared off before throwing a punch at Zamora and hitting his adversary in the head as the two began to exchange blows.

After several punches were thrown, Zamora backed up, produced the gun from under his shirt and fired at Mendoza, hitting him several times.

“They always had problems. It had been going on for a long time. They even sued him, and nobody did anything.

If he had shot him once or twice - maybe. The thing that people forget is that in court, you are responsible for and have to account for every bullet that comes out of the gun you fire.
Dude shot about 7 or 8 times. The first couple might get you off on self defense. The rest of those shots look like intent to kill, so homie is going away for a long time.

Like dude in the 2nd vid could have gotten away with self defense until he finished off the guy on the ground. That finishing bullet made it 1st degree murder.

9+ rounds into an unarmed man, that went down during the first few shots......

Nah, that'll get youat least man1, but the article states he's on camera grabbing, loading and cocking the gun seconds before the confrontation..... in the US, that's Murder-1. He showed premeditation.

Agree with all of this

Gotta disagree on the Murder-1. There was no premeditation, now he shot him with the intent to severely injure, possibly kill, so either Murder- 2 or Manslaughter-1

You're right. Manslaughter 1, Murder 2 depending on the state. Either way, he's cooked.
 
red shirt attacked him first :dunno:

True, however Zamora (shooter) was seen on the video grabbing, loading and cocking his gun seconds before the confrontation with Mendoza (victim). As described in the article posted above.

That's not observed in OP's post, but look for the other thread on it here or the full 1 min ish clip elsewhere.

That shows premeditation.

But furthermore, even if we ignore that.....

Zamora shot at Mendoza about 10 times, and was successful 9 times. That is not eliminating a threat. That is overkill.
