I've read through a bunch of posts in this thread and there's a lot of good info but it's still not entirely clear to me. Best I can tell pistol guy was part of the mob chasing the shooter after the first victim had been shot. The shooter tripped and fell, which is when skateboard guy assualted him and was shot and killed. Another guy came in and tried to take the gun, stumbled and staggered off. Pistol guy followed right behind those two and may have pointed the pistol at the shooter before retreating a few step then coming back, then moving away and being shot in the arm. All that happened within seconds. That's the best I can remember. Link to comment

Can we take a step back and realize how closely that teeters towards crap seen in historically fascist governments? Yes, but you know this is what the 2nd amendment is all about. The founders envisioned a country where 17 year olds were to be called upon to defend property and become self-appointed policemen. Seriously, this is where the last 50 years of NRA dominance of the GOP party has brought us to. We have a 'law and order' president who promotes lawlessness as he praises that there are good people on both sides. Obviously this 17 year old felt empowered. Being a front row supporter of trump, I'm sure he is a member of the cult who is empowered by trump's tough speech. 17 year guys typically don't have their heads screwed on very well. Where was this kid's parents? Will they be held liable for their under age son's actions? Perhaps trump has become his father figure. 2 Link to comment

I fully support everyone's right to defend their life with a gun - but that's not the context here at all. You don't go out to these "front lines" protests/riots with guns. Both parties are looking for a scuffle, and how anybody can see that any differently is beyond me. This goes for all of these kids. And how does the guy with the pistol support his case? "Well, I was there to protest but I brought a gun just in case." Don't do that - don't go out there at all. And if you do go out, and you see the guy with the AR15...run the other way and call the police...right? 4 Link to comment

Not saying you're making this up but a rifle isn't the correct tool for pheasant hunting. 2 2 1 Link to comment

The bird wriggled out of its mouth, flew up, and my friend shot it out of the air. It was weird. 2 Link to comment
ZRod Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I am absolutely shocked that there is a video of the 17 year old shooter punching the crap out of a girl who was fighting with another girl. Shocked!!! Link to comment
