A change from yesterday’s info.
...
The first stories on Sunday implied that she had a gun, but nobody but me seemed to notice.
Doesn’t matter if she had a gun- it was HER home.She no doubt feared a prowler.
And she was correct to so fear.
Many of us noticed. Those stories said a gun was found in the house. Nothing was mentioned that suggested she had been holding it.
No, the first stories on Sunday indicated the gun was on a nightstand. Cops even posted a picture of it sitting there.
Now we have more info. She pointed the gun at a cop. This changes things. But not by much. The cop is still a murderer.
I noticed. It's irrelevant. The homeowner has the right to defend her home with deadly force if she believes that to be necessary. Cops need to get through their thick skulls that We the People are armed and our practice of keeping and bearing arms does not give them an excuse to kill us.
Hey cops! Clean up your act, while you still can.
I noticed in the stories I read that a gun was found on the floor near her after she was shot. That implied she had a gun in her hands.
How visible that gun was to the officer that shot her we don't know. The young boy's statements - if they are reported accurately and hold-up at the trial - indicate he saw his aunt point the gun out the window.
The cop says he saw the weapon, felt a threat and shot.
It looks like the events as they unfolded haven't completely come out yet so I'm reserving judgement here.
All I can think about is that poor young boy who saw his aunt get shot and die. Cannot imagine the trauma that's going to leave with him for the rest of his life.
“...but nobody but me seemed to notice.”
Not true. There were even pictures of a gun when the story first hit.
Perhaps because it is irrelevant.
