Murder trial in death of Irish emigrant begins in California

I'd like to know Temirity's definition of an "Irish temper".

It seems O Sullivan was under stress financially and could have handled the dispute regarding the gate a lot better than he did.He had the usual reputation of a hot headed Irish temper .However Zimmerman seems to have had the power over the gate and behaved in a high handed manner. I get the impression he is no longer a young man and probably was unnerved by the Irishman's aggressive manner. He had no right to use a gun under any circumstances and should be convicted.Whatever his provocation he had no right to resort to firearms.There is no way surely he can be exonerated?

Ken Zimmerman is a piece of excrement. I say hang 'em and hang 'em high. Send a message to others that murder will not be tolerated in our society.

Ken Zimmerman is a low-life piece of s**t! I say hang 'em and hang 'em high. Set an example for others. The act of murder will not be tolerated in our society.

Very sad. How cowardly to shoot someone in the back.
