At this point, liberals could use this line of reasoning to walk up to any Trump supporter and shoot him (or her) dead.
In general, I’m a big fan of shooting terrorists. If this was a Ctrl-Left thug attacking a decent American for supporting free speech, I’m okay with the permanent solution to that problem. [Even if it was a lefty shooting someone who identifies as a republican but who was using violence to suppress free speech, I’m okay with the permanent solution to that problem too.] About 47% of the country supported Hillary - we don’t need any more traitors or terrorists.
The University of Washington has a “Red Square”? Whodda thunk.
Looks like a colorable claim of self defense does indeed exist. The two individuals were some distance apart. The guy who got shot closed the distance quickly and confronted the alleged shooter. The only thing is that I can't say with certainty who fired the shot.I still think self-defense (or defense of others) is a colorable defense, and I still don't know who fired the shot.
This is a new version of events. Everything I’ve seen before said that it was the husband who fired the shot, and most people assumed he was anti-Trump because he described the protester who was shot as “some kind of white supremacist,” not a leftist thug. We thought he was a somewhat naïve and inexperienced liberal who didn’t know that these Antifa thugs look and act like the very sort of skinheads they claim to oppose.
If indeed Elizabeth Hokoana is the shooter, it will put into doubt any witness who claimed that Marc Hokoana was the shooter.
Think about it, if a witness claimed Marc Hokoana was the aggressor and shot Joshua Dukes, what would you think of that testimony? I mean, if this hypothetical witness didn’t see the event well enough to identify the shooter, his description of things that happened *before* the shooting would be suspect, too.
In other words, just being in the presence of patriotic, freedom-loving Americans, regardless of any overt aggressive behavior, constitutes “being in danger” and thus justifies all measures of “self-defense.”
Stuff like this shouldn’t be happening. That is, Democrats phyically assaulting people because they do not agree with them. I see this as a failure of the mayors and police in this city. They may have even been on a stand down order like Berkeley 2016?
Any judge working on common sense would throw this charge out.
