In our first story, pharmacist Jerome Ersland is held at gunpoint by 2 men.
Jerome Ersland then pulls a gun, shoots one of them in the head, and chases the other down the street. After the second guy runs off, he walks back into the store, goes directly past the downed thief, and reloads his gun. Ersland then walks back over to the thief lying on the floor, and blasts him with 5 more bullets.
Jerome Ersland has been charged with first-degree murder. Is this a case of legitimate vigilante justice? Or did he take it too far?
You decide. Video below....
