      I see, so your justification for the police shooting someone is that they shouldn’t feel entitled to not be shot.

        You have a choice. You can be right and dead. Or you can be alive and sort it out later.

        I never said that she deserved to be shot or that the cops were justified. I only explained why they shot her and why they’re likely not to face any consequences for this. I gave no personal judgement. Here is the problem with people like you, you have absolutely no ability for nuance. Anyone who doesn’t immediately cheerlead everything you say 100% must mean that they’re 100% against you and should be attacked.

        it’s funny because your behaviour embodies what you claim you’re raging against.

          Your words:

          They didn’t imagine the gun. The girlfriend confirms that she picked up her gun and went to the door. If the police are there and banging on the door, you don’t pick up a gun and walk to the door in America.

          Sure sounds like you’re justifying what they did to me.

          I gave no personal judgement.

          That’s ridiculous. This entire time, you’ve been judging her actions.

          Also, it’s pretty funny that you are complaining about being accused of judging people and then end your post by judging me.

              You come in carrying on about freedom of speech

              Now that’s just a lie. This is all that I said in regards to the U.S. Constitution:

              Weird, I thought there was this thing called the second amendment that gun advocates always say is necessary to defend yourself against tyranny.

              I’m going to ignore the rest of your post because you decided insults and lies are the way to go forward.

                Now that’s just a lie. This is all that I said in regards to the U.S. Constitution:

                You’ve repeatedly posted the ‘it’s totally legal’ claim.

                She was inside her home. The gun was her property. She had it legally

                she did something that, again, was 100% legal,

                she was holding her legal property inside her own home (posted that one twice)

                Your words.

                That’s how we’re playing this game isn’t it?

                  You don’t actually know that second amendment is about the right to bear arms and the first amendment is about freedom of speech, do you?

                    I’m aware they’re different.

                    Are you capable or parsing what you actually read?

                    Let’s try another example since you clearly have a bee in your bonnet over gun rights,

                    Person A mouths off at Person B who then punches Person A in the face.

                    You come in carrying on about freedom of speech

                    This is called an example because you’re clearly too wound up over gun rights, I thought I’d give you another example of a similar situation to see if you’d be capable of taking a step back and looking at something objectively. Thanks for answering that question though.

          If that’s what you really meant from the start and if you know that people struggle with nuance then why didn’t you say what you just said instead of insulting people?
