“We’re not disputing that Mr. Dixon had a right to shoot the person who broke into his house. But he had no right to have that gun.”

Fine, let's go to a jury trial, DA(Dumb A$$) Hynes!

Dixon should have opted for trial. I doubt that any twelve Brooklyn citizens are as delusional as the Brooklyn DA. Dixon would never have been convicted.

With all due respect, this writer doesn't know all the facts of the case, essentially Hynes lowered the charge so that there would be no jury trial. By essentially stripping Dixon of a jury of 12, and putting a small but never the less longer then 3 day jail sentence as punishment, he basically extorted him into a plea.

Better yet, "Mr Hynes, read the Second Amendment you stupid A-Hole!"

As a NY'er this story is already old news, but I find hilarious that contradictory quote about having the right shoot someone in self-defense yet not being allowed to own a gun.
