I hope that people are not too quick to come to the conclusion that the US MARSHAL with 28 years of service was not justified in his actions. He did sustain injuries, broken fingers, head injuries, etc. and was out with his family. The young sailor was not an innocent guy just walking down the street. He was a drunk driver. It seems like the Marshal acted in self-defense for himself and his family. Who is to say that the violent drunk driver wouldn't have gotten away and mowed down innocent people walking down the street.

I live very close to the Mid-Pike Plaza and frequent it often. I'm just appalled that a Deputy Marshal with this many years of service would discharge his weapon in a crowded parking lot over a road rage incident. My neighbors or my family or I could have been easily killed while shopping.
I'm equally appalled that the Marshal Service doesn't screen its deputies-- this middle aged man was a hot head ready to go off, as evidenced by his wife's intervention, and a young man died because of what is obviously neglect by the Service to screen its agents.
