The car parked in front of the store was in no way affiliated or involved. Mitchell, one of the persons also charged with Parker's muder, was driving a stolen silver honda, which he was arrested in. Morrison was in a black honda and was parked on the east side of the pharmacy, in which he drove away as Ersland was chasing the 14 year old down SW 58th street.

After reading the warrant request, I opted to delete my post as I was under impression that was the getaway car as it seemed suspicious to be there with open trunk etc...

Just a few pretty significant discrepancies off the top of my head... He claimed they came at him shooting and saying they were going to kill him. Did they even fire a shot? No. They were coming around the counter at either end. He had to have a gun in either hand to repel them. Were they? No. Did he ever have a gun in either hand? No. He was shot, once in the arm and he heard one shot go past his head. Did they fire any shots at all? Again, no. He claimed to have shot the first one in the head, then emptied the .380 in him as he chased the other robber out the door because he was getting back up. Did he? No, he chased the second robber down the street, came back in, walked past the downed subject without concern for his safety, walked over, unlocked a cabinet, retrieved his second gun, walked back to the downed subject, still not exhibiting any concern or fear for his safety, bent down and fired the gun until slide lock into the downed robbers torso. That's a pretty significant deviation from his version of what occurred. It was also stated that he stayed out front and engaged them because he was too crippled to retreat to the saferoom with the other employees. I would think if you can chase a perp down the street and back that you could lay down covering fire and step the 6' to the saferoom entrance. Then you have the recent revelation that he's not really a Gulf war veteran. This case just keeps getting worse and worse. I had a very open mind at first, and was ready to chalk some of the discrepancies up to stress, but there's just too much evidence stacking up against him. |

2. As to Expertise, That is a fairly bold statement, considering you know nothing of the backgrounds of the LEO's, Physicians, mental health professionals, scientists, Lawyers, Gunsmiths, and the plethora of other fields that are represented by the posts in this thread. Perhaps a bit of reading, rather than ranting, would be more constructive.

The guy not only was lying in all the other aspects, but he was not so crippled after pumpin' the guy full of lead aspirins... he calmly returned to behind the counter and put his guns down and picked up the phone... I am a sufferer of back injuries and is one reason I have so many hours to waste on TFL. Had I just ducked, dodged and run out and back into the store I would be really showing signs of pain, such as using a hand to put pressure on lower back or massaging my now painful neck all while bent over. Don't get me wrong I am able to "suck it up" for a few romps in the woods but I am hurting to do so. Anyone notice the guy did not make any attempt to go to check the others or even face in their direction and holler back to them? Screwed Blued and Tattooed! Brent |

I for one think this is a very serious case and am very interested in seeing how it will play out, both for Ersland and for concealed carry/self defense in Oklahoma. Lets not get this thread locked over petty rubbish shall we?
There is a reason Mr. E was charged with murder I, and saying, "the DA's a twit, Mr. E should have never been charged, Free Mr. E", won't change the fact that if we went out and pulled the same stunt, we too would find ourselves behind bars looking at a murder I charge. Let's keep this thread constructive.

[QUOTEI spent a great deal of my younger days doing criminal defense work, and based on that Court experience, this guy deserves the wolves.
][/QUOTE] This guy deserves the wolves? Why is anyone responding to this guy? He is why they say 98% of the attorneys give the other 2% a bad name. This thread is now important in his mind only. Don't respond, that is what he wants. |

So far, I've deleted over 16 posts in just the last 1.5 pages alone. Although there was ONE member providing inflammatory remarks, several other members fed the fire by responding resulting in mass deletions.
DON'T FEED THE TROLL. Hit the report button and we'll take care of the rest. It will make my job easier, your blood pressure lower, and leave an important thread open.

Watched the video
Yeah, he's got some 'splaining to do, alright.
A tragedy, not for the robbers, but for the pharmacist. Lethal force is a huge responsibility. Once the round(s) go down range, your life is changed forever, perhaps not as drastically as the target's, but changed nevertheless. Having a clear-cut case where lethal force is reasonable and justified does not give an absolute right to kill, not in combat, not in the streets, not in the home. We'll see what the jury does, given the extenuating circumstances, and what the lawyers kick up, but it appears this guy just lost everything for a moment's foolishness. |

Well, one thing is clear from this case. Buy a 45acp pistol instead of a .380...

Does this Pharmacist have a history of shooting customers?
No. Does he have a habit of shooting robbers? No. Does he have a history of shooting black people? No. The fact remains that a tremendously crappy situation now exists that simply wouldn't eist had these young men not entered the premises to commit a crime.
