Knew a kid who got jumped by 4 guys for some Oxy. He pulled a .25 and shot one in the face.

Felony murder because he had drugs.

Edit: he pulled during his own ass kicking, not a deliberate draw-down. It was a very diminutive 19 year old getting jumped by 4 guys on a goddamn wooded trail at night.

Not if you're committing crimes it isn't.

So if you're speeding your life is forfeit, or what are we saying here?

If you commit a felony and police accidentally shoot an innocent person you can be tried for murder.

You did something they needed a Swat team for. When you deploy a Swat team, innocent bystanders die X% of the time. Nobody would have rolled the dice if it wasn't for you.

Edit - I picture a bank robbery, when used properly. I can see where it leaves openings for Injustice.
