He was there from Norway to surprise his father in law for his birthday. He jumped out of the bushes and his father in law immediately shot him.
This is what happens with trigger happy idiots. Why did he go to the door with a gun ready? If he thought it was the man from earlier, and felt that that man was a threat, why not just make sure the door is locked and call the police? He could always shoot him if he broke in.
It amazes me that it’s not even a matter of criminal negligence. The doorbell ringer could’ve been the UPS guy or a Census taker, or Jane Wiedlin.
You can’t just go about gunning down people on your doorstep because you had an argument. Well, I guess in Florida you can.
Lethal shootings are justified in many states if you’re afraid of bodily harm.
And many of these gun nuts are cowards who seem constantly afraid.
It’s surprising they *ever *get a murder conviction!
Of course they are constantly afraid. I have a family member who proudly told me “I have a gun within 3 feet of me no matter where I am in my house!”
I asked him “Holy crap, man, are you that afraid all the time?”
He didn’t have an answer.
There are actual people who refuse to vacation anywhere they can’t take their guns. Must suck to be that afraid all the time.
“That’s just Jane Wiedlin ringin and runnin again. Don’t answer it. AND DON"T SHOOT HER!”
It’s called Stand Your Ground.
Stand your ground while your urine dribbles down your leg.
Like I’ve said before, the people who insist on being constantly armed are often the last people who should be.
I think it’s probably another substance. And I don’t mean feces.
Yeah, that’s the ticket. The dog did it.
So many options on where to post this, but this seems good:
North Dakota Trump supporter in pickup pulls gun on woman with a Warren bumper sticker. His passenger confirms it. Arrested. Charged with felonies.
A San Antonio man bought an AR-15 for his 14-year-old grandson, who then shot his 13-year-old friend in the head.
Channeling the brevity of Rick Kitchen…
Was it specifically an assault finger?
Probably. A scary black one.
That’s definitely a problem that has been created by gun enthusiasts.
It was more than just pointing a “finger gun”, it wasn’t just while playing a game. There were threats of violence given by her towards other students.
In a sane world, we could do a home welfare check, make sure that the threats that she was making were not serious, and possibly remove any guns she may have easy access to to prevent her from carrying through.
In this world, you cannot take any steps to prevent their access to guns without actually using the criminal system. In order to make sure she can’t bring a real gun to school and carry out the threat, you have to arrest her and charge her.
It would be far better to deal with such a situation more delicately and quietly, but, due to the stance taken by pro-gun extremists, those options are off the table.
One the one hand, he was a fucking idiot.
On the other hand there was a hole.
I like how his buddy was more concerned about the gun then his friend who got shot. Although preventing the gun from falling on the floor and firing again may have been a good thing.
