Pretty much...nailed it.
It's absolutely ridiculous this guy is still in jail. He pretty much did everything right. He made sure he was about to be attacked and returned fire only enough to deter his attackers. It's self-defense. One of the attackers is on camera demonstrating he was an antagonist there.
The prosecutor has to be a moron to think any jury will convict.
I can picture the one guy who tried to grab his gun before getting shot once. He probably thought he was stopping a mass shooting or a rogue gunman.
It wasn't his community, though. He came from another town.
He works there and was asked to help. Nice try though.
And so did most of the protesters so what's your point.
we need a better image host than imgur. if you try to direct link an image it makes the image tiny. they make you go to thier website with ads.
catbox.moe is basically what imgur used to be before all the bullshit. I just encourage most people to use that.
Agreed!
Down the road I'd be willing to build a home server to openly share/host/serve/mirror etc. via IPFS etc. for SaidIt images and more. There's also WikiSpooks and InfoGalactic. I have several project I need to finish first.
While checking out JC, saw this post. Good thing image is saved here. Seems imgur scrubbed it, or else my IP (CenturyLink) is blocking it; page comes up blank.

LoL. This list suggests a possible new app., #DefundX, where user offers a value (string of char) in place of X and promotes it across various websites.
There might be an extra, automatic creation of #Support.notX and promotes it too.
Sounds like a good idea. I think the inventor of this app should give their inspiration million$ of dollar$. But I'm more afraid of the abuses and misuses.
I hope he makes them cry some more.

He frequented the town, has worked there, and knows friends there. It doesnt have to be the same town on your home address to be ‘your’ community.
When people said "we'll police our own communities" they didn't mean "we'll start shooting our own people down in the street without justification".
I can see how you'd be confused since that's the only sort of 'policing' you have at the moment, but that's not what the word is supposed to mean.
"without justification" is an exaggeration. He is arguably defending himself in all three cases. We'll see if new information comes to light that proves the existing justification false, but you jump to a hasty and probably dishonest conclusion here.
This is the sensible approach. I lean towards supporting him, but I'm still preferring to see what emerges before I category hold him up as a hero. Right now the evidence leans in his favour, and I'll admit my view is coloured by the supposed victims consisting of a violent child molester, a violent domestic abuser, and a violent political extremist with a conviction for a firearms offence who apparently later expressed regret at not using his illegal handgun to kill the kid.
He waited until he absolutely had no choice but to shoot at these guys. They were looking to kill him. Notice the media isn't writing any glorious memorials of these guys in the news. They know he will be acquitted. That lawyer took his case knowing it was easy money.
Agreed. He handled those encounters like a pro. If he were panicking, as some have claimed, there’d have been bullets sprayed all over the place.
Even if it's ruled self-defense and all charges dropped, I don't think we should consider him a hero. He's a stupid kid who was trying to play GI Joe and valued property over his own life and the lives of others. This flavor of gungho firearms ownership is not something we should be encouraging.
Tell that to the cops - or better to their superiors who don't properly train them in deescalation tactics nation wide but instead buy them virtual tanks to wage a stupid drug/terrorist/covid war.
Bring back the friendly neighbourhood police man.
Could be he was. I suppose we'll have to see what comes out of the investigation.
without justification
So getting attacked isn't justification enough?
"without justification" Watch the videos. It is clear that he is defending himself from a violent mob.
I like it but the worst thing about this meme is that it divides. It's a good meme but because some people are tribalists they put their stupid defenses of the Left here to be shit on by the Right, and rightfully so. BOTH the Left and the Right need to know when to shut the fuck up and let the other team take your chess piece in order to not look like an idiot. In this case, the Left needs to eat the loss to come back on another issue stronger, instead of from the position of an idiot. Preferably BOTH of the tribalist teams should wake the flock up and quit with this manufactured divisive bullshit and only fight the ruling class as the rest is endless and trivial by comparison giving the corrupt corporatocracy more power.
Agreed!
The right truly can’t meme, they don’t know the difference between policing as a verb and police dept as a noun. What a bunch of illiterate heehaws.
Defund the [police](n), we can [police](v) our own communities
[Policed](v) his community
What, exactly, is the mistake here?
I literally stated it lol. Scroll up lazy

Have you been raped after shooting people and holding an assault rifle while others unarmed try to get the gun out of your hand so you don’t shoot others that aren’t harming you? If not that’s a creepy ass fantasy and I suggest seeking mental health options immediately because this are not healthy thoughts at all FYI.
that aren’t harming you?
Serial? /s (aka Are you fucking serious? You must be a shill or a fucking idiot when there is NO SHORTAGE OF EVIDENCE TO THE CONFUCKINGTRARY you diehard tribalist on the wrong fucking team if you're stupid enough to subscribe to the idiotic divisive team sport poltiics).
Holy hell the mantrum here are hilarious. Talk about can’t be seriously?

Armed Terrorists aren’t allow to show up to protests by citizens Exercising their constitutional rights. You can’t spray a crowd with bullets because You are a punk ass coward loser mad people disagree with you, hero’s tried to disarm a terrorist
[deleted] 3 years ago ago
A terrorist showed up illegally armed to a protest and mass murderer by spraying bullets into a crowd.
Those are the facts. Please learn to read, I’ve already asked you to do your own labor
