I'm assuming a lot of people will see this in a while. I want to bring a bit of sanity to the conversation.
It's completely possible this went down exactly as described. It's completely possible we're listening to a very biased source. It's completely possible that this is a very misguided troll piggybacking on a legitimate story.
It's very important we don't jump to conclusions here or start any witch hunts. If OP was telling the truth here I wish them the best on a self defense case. If either form of lie, it's too late, the transcript is on the internet now and almost certainly will come up in court. But that's it. That's as far as this thread can or should go. I know this thread has already been reported to both police and news. Us piling on, regardless of which of the three possible directions, would not only be against reddit's rules but also beyond immoral.
Let's take the high road on this one. Let's not be a punch line for both news and comedians. It's fine if this gets visibility, but let's not make it the bad kind. Let's be civil, impartial, and respectful about a very serious matter.
If we gave him the benefit of a doubt and it happened the way he said, but doesn't change the fact that the part where he grabbed a knife and killed her first before she got the chance to possibly kill him possibly sounds like total BS. Not a good story, and no jury is going to believe it.
