The 'Americans Getting Shot' Thread

[sabang]

Shot him, then pursued him till the fleeing guy crashed.
I'd say that is murder.

Nope, for a start he didn't kill him- he injured him, with shots to the leg and abdomen. The actual cause of death was a self inflicted gunshot wound.

A title is just a title. The soul of this thread is about gun ownership.... pro-gun / anti-gun.

I'll take your word on it. So the fleeing suspect crashed and then shot himself?

No, the thread is about Americans shooting each other. It's a never ending topic . You're drifting.

[wasabi]

My version of events goes like this, the gunman crashed his truck, and the pursuer then got out of his rides vehicle, and went over and shot the gunman, wounding him, then he took the gun mans pistol and shot him dead. Then he made it look like a suicide.
Gunman killed himself.

...100% is the ultimate goal...

[uncle junior]

Yeah, but less than 2% of the blow guns, so we got that going for us

[DrB0b]

Just as well. Apparently if that guy in Mandalay Bay had blow guns he could have killed thousands, seems the only defense against them is a set of rosary beads.

Its not a "a tragic accident", its just fucking gross negligence.

The parents should have supplied the one year old with a gun so she could defend herself !

Correct. The only thing that stops a bad toddler with a gun is a good toddler with a gun.

Well I never..... is that the sound of justice I hear?

A policeman who injured two black teenagers by firing 16 shots at their car has been jailed for five years for unreasonable use of force.
Marco Proano, 41, shot at the teens in Chicago on December 22, 2013 after he pulled them over for speeding.
Police said at the time that the officer opened fire out of fear that the 'occupants who had been in the vehicle were in a position to sustain great bodily harm.'
They also said that a weapon was recovered at the scene but a family attorney said a pellet gun was recovered and it was never visible or brandished at the officers.
A judge today deemed Proano's use of force excessive and jailed him for five years.
