@Blackvegetable  Your defense didn’t quite work out.  You need to study those stand your ground laws and look up the word imminent.

I accept your admission that you are wrong.. 

Security guard who shot man 3 times acted in 'self defense' because customer was unmasked: lawyer

Defense attorney Jonathan Feldman argued that the armed security guard "reacted in self-defense" to the unmasked man in the store because the customer was "putting others' lives at risk."

Chester Holmes, 42, was working as an armed security guard at a liquor store in Chicago when a 28-year-old man walked onto the premises maskless around 10 am on Monday, according to Assistant State's Attorney Darryl Auguste.

Holmes and the victim argued about the mask policy and the victim eventually left, CWB Chicago reported. He then turned around and walked back in. When he did, Holmes met him with a drawn handgun and shot him, Auguste said.

Holmes shot the victim again, before pacing around the store and shooting a third time before fleeing the scene, according to Auguste. The victim suffered gunshot wounds to the stomach, arm, and leg, and was taken to hospital where surgeons removed part of his intestines, Auguste said.

According to his private defense attorney Jonathan Feldman, the armed security guard "has a big heart and is a kind-hearted man." Friedman argued during a bond court hearing Wednesday that Holmes "reacted in self-defense" to the unmasked man in the store because the customer was "putting others' lives at risk."

(Bottom line The argument did not sway cook County Judge Mary Marubio.)
