Shit like this is why I can't be against the death penalty completely. I feel like we need to make an example out of some of these people. Ain't no excuse for behavior like this.

Yup. I've always believed universally there should be that type of law. Unless it's in self defense, if you punch someone's ticket then yours should get punched as well.

Headline is a little clickbaity but still a terrible situationā¦
It sounds like they got into some kind of argument that started because of the elevator door thing, but he was shot over something that was said (apparently viewed as disrespect) not the holding of the door itself. Anything for the views though.

In theory yes, but in practice theres been a bunch of cases overturned cause it turned out they found the wrong person guilty and gave them death.
If there was ever a real indepth investigation, then im sure theyll find a bunch more innocent people that were given the death penalty while they were innocent.
Thats the issue. Cant trust these prosecutors who rather close a case than be right

This is the sole reason I'm against the death penalty. I simply don't trust this justice system to get it right more than shit gets done wrong.

You see how they gloss over the argument itself, when the words exchanged were the real reason dude got shot? Clearly the shooter was in the wrong so thereās no point wasting time debating that, but actual journalism would be tracking down a witness or two to find out what was said. Sadly that doesnāt really exist these days where they just stop as a soon they get enough to package the story in provocative way.

Agreed, and that's the real reason why I'm not a diehard death penalty supporter.

That's just super strange to shoot someone for
I have little to no hope for humanity

lol Does that matter? Whether the dude killed him because of him holding the elevator or killed because of an argument that erupted from him holding the elevator doesn't really change things much.

One scenario is an everyday occurrence and the other is national news

It's rare for media to ever cover the what part of the argument that actually lead to the final outcome outside of using the word "escalated".

Neither of those scenarios is an everyday occurrence. At least not in the eyes and experience of most people.
