You also don’t have to shoot bad people in the back who are already overpowered, beaten up and pinned down by other people. It does not sound like this was a justified self-defense shooting, and I wouldn’t want a trigger happy gun owner like that on the loose in my neighborhood.
Gee, it almost makes a person feel sorry for the guy who plowed his car into a crowd of 30 people, (edit: nearly) killing several…
/s
It's possible for both of those people to have done something bad.
Sure, but I object to portraying the person who plowed a car into a crowd of people as any kind of victim.
It is also possible for someone who has done something bad to be the victim of something else that is bad.
It’s also possible that frogs can live on the moon.
But neither of those things are what happened here
I never said that the perpetrator is a victim! I said, I would not want the guy who shoots someone who is already pinned down and no longer a threat in revenge to own a gun.
It’s happened time and time again that crowds identified and attacked the wrong person in the immediate aftermath of such attacks.
If he is no longer a threat let law enforcement take over and don’t play judge and executioner - that is all I am saying.
Yes we've all seen how trustworthy law enforcement is of late, so, naturally.
Because if there is anything we can say with 100% certainty these days it’s that our justice system definitely holds folks accountable who deserve it.

You’re literally victimizing them in your portrayal
If that’s what you got from my statement you need to seriously work on your reading comprehension.
“I can’t make a good argument, so I’ll blame everyone else”
If you don’t even know what you’re saying, then it’s not my reading comprehension that’s the problem.
Lmao
Sorry floop you're wrong on this one, go read it again
