That boy murdered those people. You don't get to shoot to kill just because you're open carrying a gun to do it with.
Watch the full video. [thread]
This young man had already shot one man in the head & phoned a friend to tell them he'd just killed someone. Then he ran off, pursued by others who were now desperately trying to disarm him. THEN he SHOT the people who tried to disarm him. One in the arm. One in the stomach. [2]
Imagine this kid is a school shooter. He shoots one kid. The other kids try to disarm him, & he turns & shoots them 1 by 1 as they try. Are you seriously gonna argue he has a right to defend himself w/deadly force as his classmates try to stop him from killing more kids? [3]
Cuz that's what you're doing when you defend this young man. [4]
This is not a self-defense case, ya'll. [5]
This boy woke up, got dressed, got his mom to drive him to a state it was illegal for him to open carry, to patrol around w/his militia friends w/his weapon slung across his body & his finger on the trigger like it was his job to shoot someone if he felt they deserved it. [6]
And he found someone he thought deserved it. Then he shot two more because he thought they deserved it too. [7]
He should not have been there. He should not have had a gun. He should not have been allowed to join a militia group. He should not have been given tacit approval by local police to take up arms against civilians. [8]
