This guy was married with children, and yet felt the need to deal prescription drugs. A thousand miles away. He traveled with his gun.
He knew what he was doing. He knew meeting with Porter would be confrontational. That's why he was packing. He lost.
When you play this game, be prepared for any/all outcomes.
Everyone here feels bad for him. He made a lifestyle choice that came with risks.
He's just another drug dealer that got whacked.
I agree with you for the most part. He didn't deserve to die, but, you're right, his death was the result of choices he made.
He and his wife both had decent jobs, and jobs that help people. He was obviously liked and respected by his work mates as evidenced by their commitment to search for him. But he chose to deal drugs; he chose to confront someone he said was violent and owned a machine gun. I'm thankful that his "side business" didn't lead to some of the people he dealt with coming to his home and harming his family.
