@gundertakerI2 @HappytheWhat Of course I do not condone this conversation whatsoever. I hope that the people, especially "Kevin Washington" get questioned and arrested/charged if need be.
@HappytheWhat @gundertakerI2 2/2 but he likely had family or friends there. It could have been his best friend's dad's business or whatever. I doubt he just went there and happened to find the gas station with everyone and decided to join. 1st degree premeditated murder does not apply
@HappytheWhat @gundertakerI2 Essentially, he was a minor with a firearm. He should be prosecuted as a minor with a firearm. The rest was self defense, regardless of whether he should, or shouldn't have been there. He lived 15 miles away. I can't say this for certain until proper investigation comes out, 1/2
@gundertakerI2 @HappytheWhat 2/2 an intimidation tool. Granted some of the militia were being assholes, but so were some of the protesters and rioters.
@gundertakerI2 @HappytheWhat Yeah. That was the whole point. The militia was there for a reason, and it was to keep the gas station they were at from getting vandalized or torched. It worked. The first guy who was shot was ACTIVELY being aggressive with the militia, while the militia was using rifles as 1/2
@gundertakerI2 @HappytheWhat So, the guy who had a handgun shouldn't have been there either? My issue is the fact that he was a minor with a firearm, but if he was 18 and legally carrying it would be justifiable. The issue of self defense vs. murder shouldn't be that hard. Granted all we have is video. 1/2
@gundertakerI2@jdubya1976 @alelcantante @AttorneyCrump So you're saying you'd go to a know violent area without protection? I dont think he should be carrying a gun at 17, the basic fact is he was not planning to cause harm. His intent was to have the ability to defend himself if need be.
@gundertakerI2 @alelcantante @AttorneyCrump Im justifying self defense. Nothing more and nothing less.
I dont think he should walk entirely free. He resorted to lethal force rather quickly, but I also dont think he deserves 1st degree murder charges.
