[Peace-discuss] Julia Reitz interview on PBR

[E. Wayne Johnson]

Link to podcast of the interview.  Very Disturbing.

I was standing there with a loaded .45 and it just happened to go off.
I wasnt intending to shoot anyone.  It's just a loaded .45 with the 
safety off.

Sounds like to me that they were trying to justify the killing by 
creating the idea that the young man deserved to die.
