How long as a society are we going to endure living like this?
@georgetakei I smell bullshit.
Florida's law says that an individual can "use deadly force if they reasonably believe that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to themself or another"
Someone pulling into their driveway doesn't count.
So either the police were flat-out wrong, or this narrative is full of shit.
@LouisIngenthron @georgetakei You are very wise, sir.
In this case, the narrative, like much of Takei's narratives, is full of shit.
The drivers ran over the shooter. I'm not saying I would have still concluded the shooter is off the hook, but this at least sort of changes things a little, at least, yes?
@LouisIngenthron @georgetakei It's usually pretty easy to find news coverage for posts that sound totally ridiculous like this, and 99% of the time you'll easily find some context that makes it far less ridiculous than OP is letting on. https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/actions-of-gunman-instacart-delivery-driver-justified-in-davie-shooting-incident-police/3019765/
To be clear: I disagree with the outcome here, and in my opinion the shooter's action should probably be sanctioned in some way.
But OP's framing is BS, cheap, deceptive poltical rhetoric, and you were discerning enough to realize.
@ech @georgetakei To be fair to the OP, I did find the original article referenced, and it does match his characterization of events:
