Friendly mod reminder, this thread is about yesterday's shooting. Not about gun control, gun laws, politics, or anything of that nature. If you need everyone to know what's wrong in this world and how you'd fix it, grab your megaphone and soapbox and take it to DC, thanks. [Reply]

They probably never see that side of him. People usually only let you see what they want you to see. How people act around their friends, maybe totally different how they act around their family.
I'm.glad thee guys are off the street. I'm no angel myself but goddamn shooting indiscriminately at a ****ing parade? Unbelievable.

Are you implying that the media might have a certain agenda here? That they aren't really fair and balanced in their coverage? Because if so, I'll need to reach out to the FBI and let them know we've got an extremist on our hands over here. [Reply]

I feel for them, but if people got charged for guns going off accidentally, Dick Cheney would be in jail. They would have had to prove that the guy was acting negligently, and it sounds like they didn't have the evidence to do it. [Reply]

Pfft, whatever. Dude was waving a loaded gun around that he owned and it blew somebody's head off. In what world do we accept that as just an accident, no charges filed? That is fucking ridiculous. [Reply]

The article says someone in the car said it was an accident. If you don't have evidence of negligence, you can't get a conviction.
I know it's easy to blame prosecutors for stuff like this, but their job is to press charges when they think they can get a conviction - not to waste the court's time.
(I sat on a jury trial that never should have been brought to trial a year ago. Was it likely there was negligence involved? Yep. Could they prove it? Not anywhere close. It was a giant waste of time, and even the judge was clearly frustrated.) [Reply]

I believe it was an accident. An accident that is still majorly illegal. Manslaughter or something.
The murder we're charging people with at the parade was an "accident". She wasn't the intended victim. Bullet hit somebody it wasn't supposed to. [Reply]
