Seattle - driver shoots protestor. Crime or Justified?

a reply to: RazorV66

Notice how the newscaster in your clip calls the attacker a "bystander". WTF?

a reply to: underpass61

He's just an innocent have a go hero trying to protect the lives of peaceful protesters. He's the real victim here. A true hero.

So let's say you are at a open the economy back up protest walking amongst hundreds of other people. a car starts driving through the street where no other cars are driving and it continues driving through the crowd without ever slowing down, would that seem normal to you? Do you mean to tell me all those gun carrying "freedom fighters" wouldn't have opened fire on that car?

Read my above post if it were the other way around and at a Trump rally or open the economy back up protest you guys would build a statue for the guy and trump would give him unlimited stay at trump towers and Mar-a-lago!

Well gee gosh and golly wally, maybe if the LEADERS OF THE COMMUNITY made it so someone didn't fear for their lives by THOUSANDS OF ANGRY, BLOOD THIRSTY "PROTESTERS", someone wouldn't get shot now would they?

This doesn't seem to be rocket science, but I understand low IQ NPCs with a little education might want to squeal and reee about it.

RMFX1 was responding to my comment about the absurdity of the newscaster calling the guy a "bystander". Just typical lefty media soft-pedaling any negative connotation and obfuscating the truth.

if I was walking down a dead end barricaded street and some car came through a crowd of people without slowing down I'd be pretty pissed too.

a reply to: conspiracy nut

Sarcasm mate. I really don't believe that this fine gentleman was an innocent bystander.

Normal? Probably not. I would not immediately jump to the conclusion that they're up to no good, though. I do reject the premise of the last question.

This post, is incoherent an completely nonsensical. Take a breathe and plan it out before you type it.

LOL by definition a bystander is someone who is not involved in the incident. Dude was in no way imaginable a bystander.

a reply to: RMFX1

You mean take a breath.

a reply to: conspiracy nut
Yup.

a reply to: underpass61

So the guy with the extended clip was a bystander then? I don't know about you but I don't drive through dead end crowded streets filled with pedestrians and continue driving forward even after I see the end of the street is barricaded. Let me guess he was lost and didn't know which way to go.

a reply to: RMFX1

Oh the irony. Perhaps it is you who should be taking a "breath" before posting. Perhaps the driver should have taken a "breath" before driving down a pedestrian filled protest like an idiot.

Isn't it possible that he turned down the wrong road? I don't know I'll just wait and see but it certainly didn't look like he was there to run people over or shoot people indiscriminately.

And I looked into this a little. In that state, high capacity magazines are not against the law and if that the case, is taping 2 of them together in a time that you may inadvertently turn a corner and end up in a mass of rioters that try to pull you out of your car?

You've already lost man. Move on.

a reply to: underpass61

And while we're being sarcastic I'm sure if it were at a Trump rally and someone started driving through the crowd all the "bystanders" would just move over and let the man drive through all the way to the barricade.

I never said he was. Now you just look silly.

a reply to: conspiracy nut

You really don't get it do you? The bystanders would be the ones that get out of the way. If you take action you instantly stop being a bystander.
