Myers, who says he’s a licensed security guard, was sitting in his car Wednesday to conduct “overwatch” while his son trains because “he has seen numerous crimes occur” in the parking lot, according to the probable cause statement.
The surveillance footage shows Myers approach the teens with a gun in his hand, point it directly at them and then move quickly toward them, police said. One of the boys pulls a BB gun out of his pocket, lays it on the ground and extends his arms out as if to show he has nothing in his hands, police said in the document.
“Immediately after … it is clear that he has been shot because he abruptly jerks his body away from Myers and falls to the ground,” the document says.
He seems to be okay with open carry so I wonder why he thought they were going to commit a robbery.
Oh. He was brown.
Also, this guy is why an armed society is absolutely not a polite society. More people carrying around guns means more dipshits carrying them.
Open carry for my, but not for thee.
This is like a few months ago, when a gun rights advocate realized that “every body having the right of having guns” also included LGTB and they all lost their shared braincell.
Shithead Tucker Carlson did a piece a while ago fear mongering that militant trans people were arming themselves and that they should not be allowed to.
Conservatives when someone says people should have to go through a psychological examination and be proven to be mentally well to get a gun: 😡
Conservatives when trans people have guns: “Th-they’re mentally ill! They shouldn’t have guns since they aren’t psychologically fit!”
I think it’s cuz they realize constantly having fantasies of someone doing wrong that justifies you to shoot them and being extremely narcissistic, irrationally hateful towards certain groups, and paranoid makes them unfit to handle a weapon.
That being said, I like oppressed groups being able to arm themselves, and I don’t trust the conservatives who have run where I live for centuries to enforce gun laws equally, so I prefer to keep my way-too-lenient gun laws… since I’m moving to a large urban area soon though, the only thing I’ll need a rifle to defend against is the landlord
Ronald Reagan and the Repubs when black people are holding firearms.

That’s because they’re into guns, not the right to self defense.
The problem is that they will use lethal force in defense of their pride/ego. They will simply escalate any dumb situation just because they can
Was there any doubt?
