Indeed.
In a world where we're forced to pick a side between a black dude assaulting people with flaming aerosol, and a KKK guy walking back through a crowd so he can open fire on the black guy with a side arm, I'm sure these argument makes sense.
The same world where having jails or prisons is synonymous with gulags I suppose.

I'll never know though, because I live in this world, not the fantasy realm where we must be team Antifa or Team KKK.

I prepared to let the Klansman walk on this one, flamethrower wielding neegro; no duty to retreat, single aimed shot, by all means.

Fire a sidearm in a crowded area when your life isn't in imminent danger, go to jail.

He didn't shoot the black dude.
He missed.
And everywhere that bullet traveled in that crowded space after he missed was directed by the hand of fate.

Enjoy that steel cage.

What does his belonging to the KKK have to do with anything?


If a cop did you wouldn't bat an eye, but cops operate under the same self-defense statutes as everybody else.

A cop wouldn't casually walk back to the area of conflict to fire off a poorly aimed shot and then scuttle away like a gray-bearded crab hoping no one noticed.

So you want to throw him in jail for being a poor shot?

Seems facile. I think you are supporting convicting people based on who they are rather than whether what they did was truly a crime. You're obviously not alone.

An aersol can with a 2' flame is dangerous, but not praticularly lethal.
Firing bullets around wily-nilly is considerably more dangerous, and potentially quite lethal.

You want to pull a hero out of a situation where there were no heroes.

Since when in America are you prohibited from using your firearm in the face of an angry mob of communists and armed neegros? Can't shoot then? Then when?

Indeed. Since when in America do you have to shoot like a Delta Operator in order to use your gun?
