If this is real and not AI, then the story is going to fizzle
What a sweetheart, "the perfect guy," "the kind of guy you'd want your daughter to marry," I was told over the last few days.
Indeed, he is. I'd love to have one of my daughters bring home an unemployed protester who follows around LEO screaming like a banshee and kicking out taillights. No doubt he's a peach in all facets of his life. Imagine the excitement at Thanksgiving and the joy of having grandchildren who are taught the organized protestor lifestyle.
So shoot him dead in the street.
Arrest hin, but him in jail for 60 days. Fine him. Kill him?
What moral code were you raised with?
He was basically playing in freeway traffic and go hit, now you're trying to blame the car that hit him for his death.
You really believe if you hit someone on the freeway you won't be getting a visit from the Police?
How about you hit them, argue with the Police and they shoot you...
I really do not know what world you guys live in.
We live in world where low iq people believe they have the right to attack federal agents while brandishing a firearm.
It was holstered and he was tackled by 5 guys. The idiot should have been arrested, no doubt. If not the day he died, 11 days earlier. They should have cuffed him and brought him in. Perfectly reasonable. Even macing him, brought it on himself. Deadly force? On a City Street with civilians around? 10 times? Come on, no reasonable person can think that is warranted in a law enforcement situation. Hell, if you did that in Afghanistan CID would be visiting.
Homan got it under control and took the appropriate actions. Can we put him in charge of HSA? Make that guy a Cabinet member.
He really should have been arrested 11 days earlier. His actions deserved some time incarcerated.
Not sure why they just threw him aside and then left him alone.
His actions the day he died were much more subdued, almost as though he recalibrated his actions.
He was moving off the road and came to the aid of a woman who was slung around like a rag doll, he was attacked from the back, he was wrested to the ground and after his holstered, not brandished, gun was ripped out of the back of his belt, he was summarily shot at 10 times, with many of the shots landing.
He was certainly a jerk and an ass. His actions in the earlier video were undefendable and deserved an arrest.
Nothing he did however on the day he died deserved death, or even close to it.
He wasn't the sweet little guy that he was portrayed to be at all. He still should not have been killed, the response the day he was killed far exceeded his actions.
This is a refreshing read, born of common sense and sympathy and not distorted by politics, religion, or a combination of both.
At the end of the day, we're all God's children. We're all human. We are all born, we live, and then we die. Some of us die earlier than others. Some of us have been through tragedies you can't even imagine, and then some of you have been through some that you wish you could.
I seem to fall along the same lines as you. I try to give the benefit of the doubt to law enforcement because I do not envy their job, and they should be able to defend themselves. But, in the age of less lethal options, such as tasers, etc., and the number of law enforcement agents around the guy, I am not sure the agents were ever prompted to take the ultimate option. He did have a firearm, though, he was being belligerent, and we're dealing with a series of events that took place in less than 30 seconds. I believe the authorities will review this tragedy, and hopefully, we find a better way to deal with this kind of insurgency from our fellow citizens in the future.
I pray for him and his family. And, I pray that our citizens protest in more effective, peaceful ways. Let our political leaders fight their own civil war. Don't get caught up in it. If we do, they'll make all of us fight their wars for them and not for our benefit - but for theirs.
And these days, you really don't know what your fellow man is thinking. That "progressive" on the street probably cares for people seeking asylum here. It's the leaders who want to exploit immigrants for political and economic greed. I hope we could all find a middle ground where immigration is well regulated but a pathway to legal status or even citizenship can be attainable within a reasonable period of time for someone who wants to be an American and contribute to our society.
"Smarter than the Average Bear."
