Quoted: Simple answer yes I'd have an extremely heightened desire to unass the area. The theme of this argument however from the other side that you are chiming in on is that he should have expected to have to shoot him just because he got the gun, which comprises him expecting this bizarre reaction that we see in the video. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: You're not living in reality if you think that someone going to get a gun shouldn't provoke a reasonable non violent person. It's a provocative action in itself. Arguing that it isn't is silly. It's not like Black shirt and Green shirt are buddies, and Black shirt says, "Wait right here man. I've got something cool to show you." No, they're in an argument, and Black shirt leaves to go grab a gun. He does this so he can end the argument with a display of force. He just miscalculated the effect his display would have. That's all totally separate from, is it legal for him to arm himself. Yes, it's totally legal to arm oneself on their own property. However, just because it's legal doesn't mean the way he did it was smart. How many times have innocent homeowners been shot through their front doors by cops because they answered the door with a firearm in hand? I know we've done a few of those. ETA: And all that is separate from was Green shirt within his rights to charge Black shirt. Again, the answer is no. He should have left. I honestly do not know one single person who when confronted with a gun unarmed would charge into it like that over a domestic issue. Not referring to people willing to be a real hero against an active shooter, or in war etc.. I don't think you do either. If I knew such a person, I would unknow them and distance my self from them. I sure as hell wouldn't consider them reasonable and non-violent ever again. Objectively. That's not what I typed. I said it's a provocative action. I didn't say people would charge you and attempt to take your firearm. You're right. People I know wouldn't charge a drawn firearm. That seems like a moot point though because people I know wouldn't pull a firearm on another party in a domestic dispute. I can say with absolute certainty, if I had an acquaintance that drew down on me over a disagreement, then I would leave and they wouldn't be my acquaintance anymore. I also wouldn't consider them reasonable and non-violent because reasonable and non-violent people don't use firearms to settle disagreements. Putting all that aside, you're saying that if you were in an argument with someone, and they left and came back with a firearm as a means to end the argument, that you wouldn't have any heightened response to it? I seriously doubt that, unless you're really really used to having firearms used to end arguments. The theme of this argument however from the other side that you are chiming in on is that he should have expected to have to shoot him just because he got the gun, which comprises him expecting this bizarre reaction that we see in the video. I don't think Black shirt should have expected to have to shoot Green shirt. I do think Black shirt should have at least thought through what happens when Green shirt doesn't comply with a lawful command to vacate the premises backed up by a firearm. I know that if it's me walking out on that porch with a rifle, then I've mentally prepared myself for possibly having to hold this person at gun point until the cops show up or possibly having to shoot them when they try to fight me. I'm hoping and praying that the person just leaves as ordered. I also know that if it's me, I don't walk out on the porch with a rifle because I'm not willing to risk having to kill someone over a nonviolent domestic situation that doesn't involve me. I especially don't walk out on the porch with a rifle if the nonviolent domestic situation involves my girlfriend, her ex husband, and their kids, and it's because my girlfriend is interfering with a child custody order. Obviously Black shirt's mental calculus was different. |

Quoted: Exactly. People are either purposefully, or are too arrogant, to acknowledge how black shirt leaving an argument and returning to it with a gun escalated the situation. Throwing up lines about Rittenhouse, how you can legally be armed, etc is simple excuse making and a refusal to see how introducing a gun into a situation where a gun wasnt needed can, and in this case did, lead to life altering circumstances that are easily avoidable. View Quote Outside of legalities, how does the shooter expect to maintain a relationship with the kids? He shot their father, and there were lots of other logical alternatives that could have been used. And how does mom expect to maintain a relationship with the kids, when her boyfriend shot and killed dad? People are so fucking self centered and stupid! |

One would/could assume that IF this location was the custodial transfer location, the father had a right to be there at whatever time they agreed on. In my mind (opinion), once the father was informed the son was not at that location, he should have left, called the police and made a report, etc. Document it all. Now, we all can imagine how emotional things like this can be, and I'm not faulting the father for getting angry about it. End of incident, right? Nope. The inflamed father's emotions led to some really confrontational decisions and we all saw the result. Some will argue they are connected, some will argue one has nothing to do with the other. I can see both of those arguments. I do know this much, it didn't need to happen. Not a single adult there attempted to de-escalate a very emotional event and multiple lives are fucked up as a result. |

Quoted: No it wasnt and thats why black shirt is sitting in the middle of the shit storm that he is. There was 0 need to get a gun in that situation. There were zero threats of assaults or anything prior to the gun coming out of the house so why was it appropriate; just because a statute says that you can?

Sadly GD demonstrates on a damn near daily basis that the ability to do that is a foreign concept to many.

Quoted: Then what? Seriously, you can't fathom any other alternatives than threatening to take the property owners weapon and kill him with it? How about staying on the sidewalk, or waiting in your car on the street? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: If memory serves, black shirt re-emerged with the rifle, standing on the porch and demanding that green shirt leave. Green shirt then advances on black shirt and attempted to take the rifle, twice.

Seriously, you can't fathom any other alternatives than threatening to take the property owners weapon and kill him with it? How about staying on the sidewalk, or waiting in your car on the street? Where did I advocate any action, or any position in this whole cock-muck? How about don't fucking read into what people are saying? Where have I propositioned anything? I asked a question about custodial transfers. JFC..."you people". |

Quoted: "raging at you and your girlfriend"? You mean yelling about where is his kid at and threatening to haul people to court? Yeeeeaaaahhhhhhhhhhh; that certainly warrants getting a gun to protect yourself from those non-existent physical threats. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: A criminal trespasser that is physical larger than you is in your front yard, refusing to leave, and is raging at you and your girlfriend. It’s absolutely “appropriate” to arm oneself in such circumstances, even though no justification is needed. “Critically think”? Time for you to start. . . "raging at you and your girlfriend"?

Quoted: In your world, are domestic situations all rainbows and unicorns, or do they, like in the real world, turn violent? “Critically think.” Just do it. View Quote How many of them turn violent because one party introduces something into the argument that they think will deescalate the situation....and instead escalate it further? If some of the TX folks in the thread are correct, black shirt was completely legal to go in the house and get his gun....but the argument didn't get physical until he did that. I could see where that could hurt him with a jury....or not....it's all just speculation at this point. |

The dude you're arguing with (now) is a police officer. But since you already quoted me and replied with a bunch of dumb stuff, I'm going to infer you were either drinking, or naturally inclined to a lower level of cogitation. Or both. |

It's another 2013 account with 300 posts (and probably 50-100 in this thread alone.) I think this is one of those accounts that the mods are suppose to be looking for. |
