The issue is NOT whether Alex is or was a "good man".  The issue is firing dozens of rounds, trying to kill a man whom you KNEW was unarmed, running away from you.  As for the dogs...  They are NOT guard dogs!!  I have worked around "guard dogs" in Law Enforcement.  These dogs were VERY aggressive towards ANYBODY!!  When they were tied to a tree before they got on Capt. Jim's landing craft they were snarling and lunging at people who were walking by 20 feet away trying to walk on the beach.  Just because you are not getting along with someone and heard a couple of shots does NOT give you the right to pull a pistol, point it at them and strip them naked.  Nor does it give you the right to shoot at them when they are running AWAY!  I'll bet that is the law where you live also!!
