Agree with the outcome or disagree with the outcome?
I donāt mind the decision not to charge, but I would strongly urge that nobody think that means they can do the same thing and avoid charges/conviction.
That could very well land a person in prison for some degree of manslaughter or murder. Not for the first shots, butā¦
/not a lawyer
This guy got EXTREMELY LUCKY!
No other way to put it
This is not how the outcomes usually are in this climate of
BASH the Gunner. Demonize the Gun owner, The murderous Sheepdog.
'HOW DARE HE DEFEND HIMSELF (AND OTHERS!)
He should have just bent over and given his possessions, his ride, his Life!
(Because thatās how Progressiveās are doing it in Chicago!)
He should have asked: 'Excuse me wonderful Brother, turning your life around
(from being and continuing to be a skell POS) 'Is that a real gun or made by āMatelā?
āTake my wallet please!ā
This guy could have easily been J6āed, Kyle Rittenhoused, Thrown in the hole and throw the hole away.
He should hit his knees and thank GOD he is home tonight.
BUT, he STILL may not be out of the woods, thereās got to be aggrieved family reprisalās!
Yeah, the guy is lucky but Iām glad he walked out free man.
We have thousands paragraphs of Law which say strictly what can or what cannot be done in certain situations⦠but life is not black and white only. Sometimes our actions are not exactly predicted to fit written Law.
This was one of examples when right action doesnāt fit the Law⦠or perhaps the Law doesnāt describe exact actions.
The truth is the guy did what every prudent person would do - he saved lives of people in that restaurant, even it was āsaving livesā based of the knowledge he got at that moment. What he did next was very emotional, perhaps not smart, but somehow understandable by grand jury.
I strongly agree with the outcome.
I agree in substance with what you are saying viewing this incident from a purely self-interest standpoint, but the decision is also correct because of the chilling effect it is likely to have on those in the criminal community who also might be tempted to try the same MO. The introduction of the unknown element of his victim being armed and able to defend himself is why Professor John R. Lott, Jr., in the course of his research effort to prove that guns contribute to more crime, was forced to change the title of his now famous book to āMore Guns - Less Crimeā.
I also, No question! But I stand by my point HE GOT LUCKY!
You donāt shoot a person in the head when they are already DOWN!
At the end of this vid he stood over the Skell and gave him at least one to the back of the head!
You donāt do that and NOT get the silver bracelets, Villified in the MSM press, Hung out to dry by the likes of the Soroās backed 'Progressive DAās
and remain FREE!
YES: the armed Victim was pissed off!
YES he was sick and tired of the CRIMās Crimming all over him and Americanās
YES: he had the balls to do something about it! Good for him ! BRAVO!
Iām glad he wasnāt charged!
YES: He threatened everybody in the place! Scaring the crap out of the customers
He took his time saw an opportunity and took the Ahole out! Job well done Boot!
But looking at recent history if we do that sh we will be strung up and bashed to death like a PiƱata
The Progās think we should be all little sheep and waitfor the whack over the head.
Usually we are.
THIS GUY without a doubt GOT LUCKY!
WE need to keep our heads āIFā we are in a shoot
We need to be prepared for the Consequences if we take JUSTICE/Pay Back too far!
Who knows⦠perhaps he was already dead? You cannot kill dead personā¦
Isnāt that called āfor good measureā
Perhaps, hypothetically, the gunman still had the gun in his hand and started to raise it?
All I can say is I Texasā¦
Disagree.
It seems to have worked out reasonably well for him in this case, but, letās recognize thatāsā¦not what we want people to generally be doing
Edit: I get the full assessment. Thatās fair
So, what you would do in such case?
You sit in that restaurant, guy starts pointing the gun on everybody, you have opportunity to engage⦠what next?
Stop the threat, and stop shooting after the threat is stopped
So⦠this is what I wrote.
He stopped the threats, he did what every prudent person would do.
What he did next was a different story.
That was a true meaning of my words.
Roger, gotcha.
Thatās a fair assessment
TRUTH!
You do stupid stuff like the āCoup de Graceā like this guy did and you CAN lose your FREEDOOM, Your HOUSE, You JOB! Familil Lawsuits (and they would WIN!) A PRUDENT Person BACKS the Phuck off after the situation goes down from CONDITION RED!. You stand on his hand until he releases his GAT, You
go to a safe distance and Call the Man. Itās every personās RIGHT to defend them selves. What is NOT youāre right is to be executioner. You stopped the threat, BRAVO. You saved people Lives/possessions! EXCELLENT. Ratchet it down now, back off and be ready for the questions and Consequences.
Get your mind right, Call USCCA/your pre-programmed Lawyerās number in your cellphone.
You practiced/trained how youād do something when the SHTF! Practice what you will do/say AFTER a shoot. You can CONVICT yourself (in the eyes of the Law/Courts by saying stupid, unnecessary stuff).
Regain your witts, compose yourself and say something likeā I am ready to cooperate with you but I need to wait until my USCCA lawyer gets here and advises me on my RIGHTSāā¦something like that.
This guy got lucky.
I didnāt follow that incident and Iām not sure if āextra roundsā were taking under consideration or they only try to decide if the actual shooting was good or not.
I think the shooting act was easy to decide, but those extra rounds were really bad.
While I agree with the point others were making - the guy got very lucky - I hope the society in large is fed up with the crime wave, and juries will treat future cases accordingly.
Dont expect it will apply to you though! Follow self defense guidelines from USCCA.
Oh Brother are you speaking GOSPEL!
(MOO!āMy opinion only)
Yes Sir! I always expect every action Iāve take and will take in the future will be scrutinized to every āiā dot and āTā crossed! Especially in THIS Climate! EXPECT to get HAMMERED after a shoot!
Even if I do EVERYTHING correctly, donāt go too far! Stay within the Lawful parameters
I EXPECT to have this ILLEGAL LAW to descend on me. THAT is why I have the USCCA!
I TRUST Tim and the USCCA to have my back!
I DO NOT trust the illegal system, the Courts and ESPECIALLY the Jury system!
I donāt TRUST these woke Demon-crats in my town to be FAIR and Just! The Blue DAās No way!
My Training is updated frequently, My Trigger time is super important. I carry 24/7.
I KNOW my gatās inside and out (and I know Iām NOT a gunsmith!).
I found an EXCELLENT Gunsmith to take my sh** down, check for wear, cracks etc.
I DONāT reload my own stuff yet, Not when I can buy a case of stuff I trust without a doubt in my mind.
I KNOW my limitations.
WE ALL SHOULD!

Nessun passo sul serpente
Ab-so-F___ng-lutely!!! agree Don102. This was not a war zone. You stopped the threat. You need to strap back up, call the cops, and call your lawyer. Not put a hydra-shock in his head! I agree with the results. I donāt agree with the irrational behavior of the good guy. Now if the perp had taken a shot at me and missed, then all bets are off.
