They should be running the courts with feelings . It would make for a better country .
You can accidentally shoot your girlfriend through the bathroom door because you think she is a gunman hiding in your bathroom.I was actually alluding to people who do it accidentally at night. I don't have time to look for individual news stories about it but here is a link I found pretty quickly that says at least 47 times since 2005 it has happened. That doesn't happen in Canada...
She Thought She’d Shot A Burglar. Then She Realized It Was Her Roommate.
Good guys with guns don’t only shoot bad guys. At least 47 times since 2015, a person has shot a friend, family member, or emergency responder they mistook for an intruder in their home.www.buzzfeednews.com
Its pretty rare for him to not be on
That's why he's by far the most watched cable news network host.
If there is then the sole responsibility for that is on the fake news 'journalists' at MSNBC, CNN, NYT, Washington Post etc.
I want him acquitted for the exact same reasons as you do. I never once thought he was a hero. Just like I didn't think he was a white supremacist or stone cold murderer either (like the media portrayed him).
I hope he does what Sandeman did and sue the media for their biased and inaccurate reporting.
Got to agree with that. I'm not sure what's their game, but ratings cannot be that important. There were multiple videos of the shootings from the very beginning and NOTHING justifies their abuse and misinformation. Some of the coverage I see is just plain deranged. It's like two different events are happening simultaneously. Twilight zone.
Different countries, sweetheart. If you weren't so blinded by your politics, you'd notice the similarities between the Sandmann case and this one. Oh, BTW. The Young Turks will pay for sure.
Lol...
that depends on the left news networks and what they want to feed their followers...if they go with the narrative that human rights has been violated and a "murdered" was granted freedom....then riot is inevitable...If they swallow their balls and their pride and do a 180 and say, verdict was justified and go the "thoughts and prayers" for the victims and KR was also a victim of society...Americans will move on from this...
Remove the word news from your sentence cus Fox is doing none of it.Its pretty rare for him to not be on

Yeah a victim of a gun loving fucked up society.
I am not taking any stand. Left or right I don't give a shit. Guns should be banned that's it.
Second amendment was written when you needed 60 second to recharge your arm. Not when it's possible to shoot 1200 bullets per minute.
It would be interesting to see how some on this board would be reacting if some right wing element was shot dead because someone was concerned about their safety. Because in this heated atmosphere with some volatile and violent elements on both sides, this will likely happen again.
You are essentially inviting people to bring more weapons out when they go to confrontational settings or invite themselves to confrontational settings where there will at times be a need to defend yourself.
Technically under the rule of law I don’t think he is guilty. And it’s not a political decision in anyway.
But it’s a decision, even if correct, that could have bad consequences. And the roles could be reversed. And it will result in some spin doctoring from the other side of the media and people here.

I don't take any sides either...It's America...they do whatever their laws allow them....Is KR an angel? Fuck no...there are 2 sides to this....there's the side that those victims are out there looking for a fight...the found it...there is a side that tells me KR was there paid to safeguard some properties knowing it could get ugly hence carrying a gun...most of the time, gun visibility can be a deterent .... unfortunately, not that day...
BTW, the judge is totally nuts.
He had the jury applaud a defence expert because the man was a veteran. Nothing wrong with doing this in a non trial setting. In a trial setting, it's a clear jury taint.
State can't appeal acquittals in the US. Crown can appeal acquittals in Canada. In Canada, that's a Crown appeal.

Let’s say Somebody was at capital hill on January 6th trolling Trump fans , and then trying to ward off people from getting inside. he was then swarmed so He took out his concealed gun and blasted away. Is that ok?
Not sure what the carrying laws are there so you might be guilty of some weapons charge, but murder .. nope that was self defence.

Usually it has been a deterrent. But in these volatile times you have some on both sides who are willing to get violent.
Now people will be bringing more weapons to what they know are events with confrontation. And they have the outs to use them.
This is probably the right legal decision if he gets off, but possibly not a good decision for America over the next year or so.
There's a difference. KR appears to have been under some deluded, juvenile impression that he was there to help. So he took a first aid kit, scrubbed clean graffitti, put out fires. He wasn't there to provoke anything and that's a legally relevant point.
Your hypothetical Capitol Hill guy is there to annoy people. They get annoyed and attack him. Then he kills them. So that sounds like a partial self-defence which reduces murder to manslaughter,
