George Pickering II has now been released from jail
I think it is higher than the number of people killed by firearms.

Nullification is not needed in this case. It is a classic self case where he was defending the well being of another, i.e. his son.
It is pretty clear another was being harmed or threatened with harm. So he acted to defend that person.

A good test for Texas. If this prosecution is not tossed. If the jury somehow convicts....... Then Texas will be voting for Hillary
Sure hope next years Father’s day gift is epic since his dad went to great lengths to save the son
Read the article. the hospital wanted the young man’s organs. Also, the mother and brother agreed.
Puts one in mind a little bit of the scene in ‘A Bridge Too Far’ in which James Caan holds a gun to the surgeon’s head and insists the doc examine Caan’s lieutenant.
Caan got put on report for ten seconds or so. It’s a different world nowadays, and not for the better.
When I read this story earlier today, what struck me the most wasn’t that the father held a standoff in the hospital.
Rather, it was that his son was declared “brain dead,” yet it’s obvious he certainly was not.
The man is hero. Deserves their equivalent of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Desperate times, desperate measures.
A FRiend that is a surgeon once asked me what do you call the person who graduates last in his class from medical school?
Doctor.
