None of us "KNOW" anything here. it's an opinions discussion board. Yes, I "inferred" it from listening to the tape. Obama never admitted he wanted to destory america, but 333386 damn sure inferred it.
Okay, to rephrase it - in my opinion, i believe the guy thought there might be a shooting, so he carefully laid out a defense while on the phone. I BELIEVE he then chose to chase after the person (knowing police woudl be there any minute) - meaning he chose to enter a situation of likely shooting. TO me, that means the person wanted to shoot.
hell, none of us can KNOW much of anything here. We don't KNOW if the witness had beer with the wannabe rent-a-cop every sunday for 4 years. We dont KNOW anything here.
To me, in my opinion, the guy thought a shoot was likely and not only prepared for it on the phone, but then followed the dude into the dark where it happened. total dumbass. and shady - "I think he looks like he is on drugs" = embellishment, IMO.
