If the feds get involved and both the state and DOJ pursues
prosecution he could get time in both jurisdictions. State for murder
/ manslaughter and a weapon charge during a felony ( Florida a gun
crime gets you mandatory time). Feds for civil rights violations.

Double jeopardy does not apply in separate charges under different
jurisdictions.

DOJ will assist in the prosecution for a strong state prison sentence.

In this case, I believe the shooter is a self-appointed citizens
guardian watch dog - a Vigilante.

I always thought that would make a great name for a car: The Dodge
Vigilante!

FWIW, I agree totally with your definition. So does Merriam Webster:

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vigilante

Definition of VIGILANTE
: a member of a volunteer committee organized to suppress and punish crime
summarily (as when the processes of law are viewed as inadequate); broadly :
a self-appointed doer of justice

Examples of VIGILANTE
the danger of these self-appointed vigilantes is that they sometimes go
after innocent people

Origin of VIGILANTE
Spanish, watchman, guard, from vigilante vigilant, from Latin vigilant-,
vigilans First Known Use: 1856

Have you seen the promos for the new movie "Lockout?" They stole your idea
for a prison in space (I think it was you).

Not my idea, but a fiction writer. Freeze the crooks, orbit in space
so when we find a cure for crime we can bring them down for the cure.

I gotta check out Lockout ... thanks.
