The verdict just came in for the three white men that shot the black jogger. Amazing, they were found guilty. The rules for shooting people need to be refined. It is not clear who you can shoot now. It was a white guy shooting white guys and the jury said that was OK. Police have seemed to be able to shoot black people indiscriminately. Women have a pretty good chance of getting off for shooting husbands. Since we are now a gun toting society we need to get some rules. In the old days duels were very formal. There was a strict protocol for killing someone you had a misunderstanding with. It was all very polite and a referee was present. Can't we go back to the good old days? Sir, you have offended me and I would like to kill you. Can I drive by your house about ten an shoot my AR-15 multiple times into your living room? Well, maybe we could meet at the park, and I could bring a friend and he could count to three and we could each shoot at each other. Not a bad idea. OK, see you at the park tomorrow. That is how the shootings should work. We have lost all decorum.
