So you agree that it's an unjust law stuck in the stone ages and needs to be rexamined...that's my point, not comparing slavery to some 19 year old gravy seal and how you feel about the situation. I'm not saying what he did was technically illegal but current laws need to be re-examined so it doesn't keep happening again, and again, and again, and again (see young white males shooting up public places).
Why is it stuck in the stone ages?..........................and for the love of G*d, of all the ways you or anyone else is likely to become prematurely dead, why the GUN fixation.
Had the DA gone for that I could potentially agree. If what he did had fit the legal definition as it’s written in that state then yes, I could declare that guilty.
However, the DA took a risk and went for Murder because he wanted a high profile win with culture war and bill of rights aspects and implications. Once he/they decided on that, their case has to fit the stricter legal definition of that crime as it is written, and they must remove every shred of reasonable doubt in 12 jurors. Given the videos, most reasonable people would have a hard time being 90%+ convinced that KR intended to kill those 2. There is no scaling back from Murder to manslaughter mid way thru unless the defendant agrees to it.
These are the trade offs to live in a country where you are considered innocent until proven guilty. You sacrifice getting the guilty charge in complicated cases such as this in order to protect more people who are innocent.
I would use the most effective means of force to defend myself and if he ended up dead, so be it.
Having some version of the 2nd amendment is something I will always support. However I disagree with how easy it is to obtain firearms in many states.
That's a fairly irrational action. Not to mention really fvcking stupid. It is true that skateboards have been used to murder/main people a number of times, but taking one on purpose to a gunfight?
Yeah, I own a glock for home protection and rifles for hunting...I am all for the second amendment. It needs to be re-examined FEDERALLY based on the changes in our society and the cause/effect it has been having in the last 20 years.
Yes, everything is not always black and white...much like this caseThat's a fairly irrational action. Not to mention really fvcking stupid. It is true that skateboards have been used to murder/main people a number of times, but taking one on purpose to a gunfight?
For one -- Mass shootings by mentally ill men under the age of 21...It's only happening in the States. Wonder what the difference is.
Should we throttle your non-essential food intake because of the obesity epidemic?
People's food intake hasn't caused the unnecessary murder of thousands of innocent American citizens by other citizens. It's a choice...Critical thinking is hard for you isn't it?
Focus on the war on men first, don’t infringe our rights ever
maybe we should cut out freedom of speech and the press too? That’s dangerous
shittenhouse becoming a martyr would be perfect for the red wave, wouldn't be surprised if it happens one way or another.
he has no future either way.
Could you rephrase that for better clarity?
An AR-15 would be highly effective, even in the hands of an untrained fool, turns out. So you would have done the same as a fool did. Not surprising.
I would never have gone to an event like that waiving around an AR-15. Why?
1) I have no training in security or firearms and nothing (a uniform or whatever) would signify that I did.
2) I care more about human life than property.
3) I’m an idiot, but not a COMPLETE idiot.
