    I don't see it as left and right.  I see it as going into an environment that will assuredly be hostile to you with a weapon that you intend to use and getting away with it.  Not a precedent we want to be setting.

    This is where my concern lies. I couldn't give a shit about any one who was there that night that isn't law enforcement.



    If he gets off on the reckless endangerment charge, we're going to see a whole lot of law enforcement cosplayers emboldened to do exactly what he did.

    Yeah, he’s very remorseful.  


    He's an idiot.  We know this already.  

    I am pretty close to taking everything positive I've said back after seeing this though.  This pic would sway me as a juror, I will say that.

    You don’t. But most do. He’s a mass shooter on CNN and an innocent who acted in self defense on FOX. Both outlets over exaggerate and it definitely greatly influences their followers

    I think the story is she took him to his fathers house where he picked up a gun his friend had purchased for him.

    My thoughts too. I honestly don't understand why he's getting so much crap for crying. I'd be crying too testifying why I had to kill 2 people and facing serious prison time.
    Did anyone double check and make sure the jury wasn't to his right?

    It seemed like a really bad acting job. I have a hard buying somebody crying hard and not producing at least one solitary tear. 

    I seen a shot of him making a more obvious look to the right as well.




    What about the judge’s phone ringing with Trumps walkout song and disallowing the iPad footage based on the most absurd reasoning to ever be upheld?

    Jeezus man.  You think that the kid really wanted to shoot people?

    You purchase a gun hoping never to have to use it, people don't buy them hoping to...

    Yes.  I think he wanted to shoot people.

    I know this.  Because he shot people.

    If he didn't want to shoot people.  Then he wouldn't have.

    It's that simple.
    When I carried concealed it was never so I can shoot people...

    You hope to never have to use it.


    What was the cc for then?

    In case you got lost on your way home from work, and ended up at the shooting range?
    When I went hiking I carried.  I should have been more specific.  It was for defense of a rogue wild animal, not a person.  I never carried in groups of people.
    i hiked in grizzly bear country in the past...you don't need a gun...just stop the nonsense.

    I can't say I thought it was an act at first but once they took a break he never did that again when talking about the same situation several times.

    It was rehearsed just like him saying over and over "I was just defending myself"

    Yeah, I have to agree with this. I've hiked and camped in remote areas all over BC and Alberta, have seen and come pretty close to bears and other large animals, and have never felt the need for a gun at all. The number of times you would need a gun in these circumstances are vanishingly rare, as long as you know what you're doing in the back country. If you were living out there it might be a different story.

    The only purpose a gun serves is for hunting animals for food. Any other reason a person carries a gun or owns a gun is simply for their own personal pleasure. And yes, if you carry a gun, you do so knowing full well it could be used against another person to "defend" yourself. Otherwise you're either an idiot or lying to yourself. It's the fear tactic that's working to increase unnecessary gun ownership and emboldening many to openly carry whenever they can. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Martin was attacked for wearing a hoodie, having smoked marijuana, etc....

    i hiked in grizzly bear country in the past...you don't need a gun...just stop the nonsense.
    I lived in the Colorado mountains for 4 years with bears being an almost daily occurrence and the occasional mtn. lion. Never felt the need to carry. Ran, biked, and or hiked on a daily basis. Never needed to carry.
    Also lived in Balt. City near the end of the crack wars. Never felt the need to carry.
    Living in fear is no way to live.
