Excerpt:
A tense confrontation unfolded inside a McDonald’s near the University of Maryland, College Park, culminating in a fatal shooting that has reignited debates over the Second Amendment and the right to self-defense. Murwanashyaka Francois, a 54-year-old armed security guard employed by Strategic Security Corp., shot and killed Ricardo Clemons Jr., a 45-year-old man, after a physical altercation. The incident, partially captured on video, has sparked questions about when lethal force is justified—and whether this case underscores the critical importance of armed citizens in an unpredictable world.



What kind of society requires McDonald's to have a security guard
Everyone calling justified, what did I miss?

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
IMHO, from the video, bad shoot.

The security guard escalated the situation and, by what was seen, initiated physical conflict. When his level of force, likely not necessary, was insufficient, and the target thereof tried to defend himself, he shot the man.
Arguably, the deceased man's actions were defensive, not offensive, until after the man had been hit with a two-handed baton blow.
Use of force was initiated by the shooter, who was visibly (well, audibly) angry, and who continued to escalate force until the death ensued.
How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
