Did ask him to stop like the DA said witnesses claimed? Did they just roll up guns drawn shouting? Did they just point the gun at his head saying nothing? It's not easy to tell, and it might change how he would react. That said, I still feel like the only feasible outcome when you try to wrench a loaded gun away from someone is you wound up getting shot. I feel like that's probably the worst choice you could make in that situation. It could have been the only solution he saw. A black man vs 2 armed white guys. Sadly in todays America he may not have thought he was going to survive the other options

I honestly don't know how that narrative is mentioned so matter-of-factly in here and on the news. It's mind boggling.

It's interesting as hell looking at how it's being built. I did that to houses that weren't mine too lol Also that police cruiser was flying down the street. Holy crap. I couldn't tell if his lights were on Don't know why you brought up Trump but this is scary as hell. People trying to get in your house with guns and they are there for your child That had to have been horrible for the mother to go through. It's not just the right that wants to open back up Problem is if you go for your phone to call the police they may open fire and claim you were reaching for a gun Ignoring and continue running wont go well either. They may just gun you down Waiting until police arrive is hoping the police even know. Peaceful resolution seems good but you'd have to be very careful not to freak them out to fire on you. They also may not want to even hear your side of the story Attacking may sometimes be the only option sadly. No idea what I'd do. I've been jumped a few times in my life but never had a gun pulled on me They have guns. The only (and easy) answer is A. jesus man. This is basic survival stuff

While I don’t know that they woke up that morning hoping to catch themselves a black man, their dope actions led directly to a man’s death. Nobody will ever know for sure if their actions would have been different if Ahmaud was a white doode, but I have a gut feeling they would have been.

Since he was up against several armed guys and a pickup truck to chase him down, flight wasn't an option. 1 hour ago, mayanh8 said: Video confirms what authorities already knew from the start.

That's what a man gets shot and killed for?

I think it was a fight or flight response too. Some people have different instincts than others Depending on how far along the construction is I don't know either.

May 14, 20205 yr Author It’s fascinating to hear of a sitting senator get served with a warrant. I truly home he and Loffler get jail time for their actions.

Nothing will come of it in regards to jail time. We talking about a guy with money and power here. Once in a while we see a big league white collar criminal go to jail but thats only be cause they didnt have that sweet blend of money AND power (political pull)

Purdue, the other GA Senator, too. Amazing that both Senators from my state were insider trading on the backs of a freaking pandemic.
