Agree......

[bert]

well punk....do you feel lucky?

[grobdriver]

The only way this would be possible is if he had a bad mag where it didn't catch the slide lock to hold it open.

I've had this happen from time to time - mag adjustment and you're good to go.

So while possible he pulled the trigger on an empty chamber, I rather think it's a story.

[VRWCarea51]

I have an extra fer him!

[newnhdad]

I wonder what ACLU leftist will use an affirmative defense to defend this guy in court claiming he was distressed at the time...

[Cobra64]

Yup. Homey need boolits in his clips.

[Cobra64]

He didnt use magazines. Thems were “clips” for foty-five boolits.

I'm sure the State of South Carolina will rectify the oversight, but not without spending lots of the taxpayers money on a trial and appeals.

[BBell]

B.S. He is just a coward. If he really did not like black folks so much he would have drove into the ghetto and started shooting. But they would shot back.

[tacticalogic]

Anther argument for carrying a 45. If the cops had carried them, they could have loaned him a bullet.

[mikeandike]

It was a Glock 41.

[Polynikes]

“but I believe on a semi-auto, the slide is back after the last round is fired from the magazine.

Half-wit knew it was empty.”

Exactly. He was using a G41 Glock. Glocks lock back after the last round. They have 10 or 13 rd capacity. I am calling BS on this story doesn't make sense. It smells of a tall tale made up for attention.

I totally concur. He shot the most vulnerable he could find that kept risk to himself at a minimum.

[mikeandike]

I would think their ears would be ringing so bad that it would be hard to hear the click.

[toddausauras]

Put him in prison with African American males in general population: Now.

[Albion Wilde]

Darwin Award.

[Misterioso]

He might have been a tad rattled, don’t you think?

[smokingfrog]

Only DEA agents are professional enough to do that.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I call BS on this, if he wanted to die he would have offed himself..instead he fled to his Daddy’s house and was arrested with a smile on his face..he’s enjoying every second of this

This is what killed me about this demon-possessed little punk druggie. Instead of going to a bad part of town where there are drug dealers and gang killers, he goes into a pristine church full of respectable people who probably were very nice to him and accused them of "raping our women" and shot upstanding people with good jobs, marriages, lives of integrity. This guy is a moron's moron. He has set back the 2A cause for decades with his idiocy. If you're going to do absolute evil, at least do it well. But no. He chose the "banality of evil."
