Thanks jerk off that didnt like his neighbor and wanted to be confrontational with a firearm. I feel sorry for the victims and their families, what a stupid reason to die

Guns would be so safe if we could remove the human element.

That was funny, infact I misread that the first time. Nice work

This dude is probably going to jail for a long time, and deservedly so.

Yeah, while I was, and am, pretty solidly on Zimmerman's side in that debacle and while I'm a huge supporter of the right to respond with deadly force if you feel you or yours are in deadly danger this is ridiculous.

There is self defense and then there is escalating a confrontation to require self defense.

Do people actually take the Young Turks seriously? I mean, the dude who shot the teacher was a complete moron, but the Young Turks claiming that people are starting to use Stand Your Ground as a license to kill is more than a little bit ridiculous.

It isn't a great Rod Stewart song but I don't know if it should just be dismissed that casually either.

I like the young turks

At least the young turks played the whole video.
"Stop right there or I will shoot you"

Precedes any altercation that would reasonably threaten his life.

The guy has no excuse, he went in to provoke the people and tried to create grounds for self defence in the process seems a bit on the sociopathic side.
I mean the guy who gets shot has his arms raised as a sign of doing nothing when the ex-firefighter is saying "His life is in danger" when he clearly provokes the entire situation

There's a similarity to the zimmerman case in that they both feel like victims and have this sorta "they're not gonna get away with it this time" attitude which only makes it worse. What's really sad though is if all we had was the 911 call of the incident, every gun nut would be supporting this a***ole.

I'm a gun nut and I probably wouldn't.

I mean we have plenty of witnesses who can tell us the guy had his hands raised when he was shot, which goes to show that this fether was a coward.

Another gun nut here that thinks this guy should be locked up and is an idiot and who also has doubts of Zimmerman being innocent.

Don't paint us gun nuts with such a broad brush.

So he brought a gun over and then he baited them, and then he shot them.

He's like if an admin was also a troll.

It doesn't actually matter which side you are on in this case. An innocent guy died for no friggin reason; IMO this guy is a murderer who planned to kill someone before he walked out his front door. If Law and Order taught me anything: that's Murder 1.

If you hear that sound often enough you officially become a lawyer.

Heres a better quality of that sound effect


That other one is just terrible

@AustinT

You might have misunderstood me. I'm in favor of locking this guy up for life. I thought I was pretty clear but maybe I wasn't

Wasn't exactly directed AT you.

If one were going to have a CHL one would know you don't do what he done. Everything after "I'm going to go over there" is the result of what we call being a dumbass.

Is that a medical term?

CHL = Concealed Handgun License

Don't be daft. Of course you can. The majority of states have CHLs now.

Don't worry, we probably don't like you either. Watch out though because a majority of the adult population has them.
Gun owners. In your face, touching your minis!

Its funny. I was at a movie theater Staurday, doing the Charlize Theron Appreciation Week I (next week Prometheus) and my chair was getting banged and people were talking. But I know better than to even say anything (one could get a manager) because the situation could get out of hand quickly. Then this guy does that. No epic face palm big enough.

As I understand, most people who carry concealed (legally) consider the gunfight you don't get into to be the only one that you "win."

True statement.

I have three guns and the only reason I have no CHL is that most places I go into daily don't allow guns, and I'm not arguing with that suited man with a metal detector.

Only three? Just like a Yankee.

What he doesnt tell you is one of them is an MK 47


Makes up for it methinks
