I'm Canadian so I can't have a gun when I go out but if I could I would. Saying someone that has a gun is a pussy is like saying that someone who uses a car to get around is lazy.

Guns are tools.

I don't know who was black or who was white in this case.

Seems to me a man was playing basketball with his daughter when an armed man crossed the street to confront the man about a very minor problem. Man pulls a gun and the basketball player, now facing a gunman, attacks him. The man with the gun started the confrontation and escalated it by pulling out his gun.

What a fucked up law.

dude you are crazy.
i have kids, of course id protect them. but if some crazy asshole smacked or punched my wife or kids, i dont think i deserve to shoot them dead. MAybe 200 years ago...but not anymore. Take it as a righteous beating, and break his arm or something, but to shoot someone dead? lol
have fun in jail, hope you are good at making new friends.

that is pretty much how it went down...the shooter was a piece of shit...race doesnt come into it..unless you look at his reasons for harassing the skateboarder.

to defend your family without killing someone.

I'm a GFY lawyer and have been practicing for a lot of years... I can't pin down a real number cause I's drunk...

Anyway... Ban him!

This happened about 1/4 mile from my house.

Very unsettling to know the guy is still living there.

I agree, It is completely fucked up.

No, the black guy walked over to 12 year old kid who was skateboarding yelling profanity and showing his gun. The Marine went out there and tried to stop fine black man. Then fine black man shot him.

He spent 1 day in jail. How fucking racist is that?

and clearly the best thing for the girl who saw her father kill someone is to have him killed too. that will fix her right up lol

You know what, I can respect your position and simply agree that we have different opinions on this issue. What I can say for 100% certainty however is that I retired from a profession that "puts me in the know" Where I live... There would be no jail time.

That said I can and do respect your right to feel that " i dont think i deserve to shoot them dead"

My heart breaks for that poor little girl.

you can't confront people these days. they use guns to solve problems.

Exactly what I was thinking...

In a one on one confrontation, I'm down with what you're saying.

But if my family is in danger, I'll seize every advantage at my disposal to best ensure their physical safety. To do anything less would be the height of irresponsibility.
