A look at UW shooting 'self-defense' case (January Milo Yiannopoulos event)

SEATTLE - Two months after a shooting on the University of Washington campus, a woman went public claiming she fired her gun in "self-defense" that night of the Milo Yiannopolous. However, the person she was defending was her husband.

The Hokoanas’ attorneys referred to evidence they had collected in the case, including a police radio recording that indicates the victim may have been armed.

According to a search warrant affidavit, the victim was 34-year-old Joshua Dukes.

When the couple, Elizabeth and Marc Hokoana, turned themselves into police, they claimed they were involved in a "self-defense" shooting.

Both are claiming Elizabeth fired the gun, through their attorneys.

“We feel convinced at this stage that not only was Elizabeth responsible for shooting the gun, but when she did she was acting lawfully,” said Kim Gordon, Marc Hokoana’s attorney.

She declined to go into detail of what happened that night but said the strength of their self-defense case is based on questions posed by state law.

“Does the person using force have a reasonable belief given what they're seeing, hearing, experiencing, that someone else is about to be injured or killed?” said Gordon. “And the second thing is, is the amount of force a reasonable response to the threat?”

Both of the Hokoanas' attorneys mention recorded police, fire, and EMS radio traffic from that night.

About 20 minutes after the first report of the shooting, an emergency personnel appeared to be speaking with a dispatcher, and makes a statement about the shooting victim over the radio.

Here is part of the verbatim of the recording:

“The victim can provide no information about the suspect or where the shooting occurred…however he was armed with brass knuckles and a large knife.”

The Bible seems to support the case for 'self-defense', where a wife shoots someone attacking her husband.

“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” Ephesians 5:31

No one is allowed to defend themselves against a leftist thug attack, unless you are a leftist elite. This position will be upheld by the courts. Assuming of course the whole incident wasn’t a false flag operation.

Thanks for the tip.

I’m a guitarist with arthritis in my hands. I’ll check it out.

I play lots of guitar and golf and am prone to arthritis in my hands. The last I need is to put additional stress on my hands using one of those devices or a squeeze ball. So I only play shorter scale guitars with lighter gauge strings and the necks adjusted relatively flat. I shaft my golf clubs for softer flex and install softer grips. The best thing I’ve done for the arthritis is to take fish oil, D3 and C in fairly large quantities.

I’ve been taking pharmaceutical grade fish oil for awhile. Will try the D3 and C.

I’m a diabetic as well and get “stiff hands” pretty much all the time.

Haven’t got a workaround yet.
