yer right that we shouldnt let the cops use the 'fact' that it was loaded to show his 'intent' to take hostages and kill 742 people in the parking lot w/o a reload...

an unloaded weapon does speak to his frame of mind in that regard...

i merely suggested that the argument was and is falling on deaf ears...just as the 2-6 second timeline for compliance to orders from a servant...

from day one though, the fact that cops were there, and in such force over one guy is mindbogglin...

Worth repeating. A lot of response for a guy carrying concealed and not acting like a threat. The tape played at the inquest has the Costco employee talking about about how someone was knifed earlier and they take this sort of thing very seriously - again, painting Scott as a homicidal maniac. He later tries to back it down, but I think there will be a valid civil case to bring against him.

Got to teach the peasants who is Boss.

If Scott hadn't been a West Pointer, and his dad wasn't so forceful, he'd be just another bug on Metro's windshield...

So, Moonpie - you were going to explain to us all how Erik Scott was likely to take a bystander as a shield and start shooting an unloaded gun in a holster.

Was he going do a Blazing Saddles, and grab himself by the neck, hold his holstered, unloaded gun to his head and shout "Nobody move, or the drug-crazed red-headed dope addict gets it!"?
