Please..
Because you cite a miscarriage of justice, you think Yarl should be acquitted?
I am about done with this nonsense... for nearly 30 years every time some gun owner does something incredibly stupid, folks crawl out of the woodwork trying justify it or blame the person they shot....
Now folks want to play race cards as well to justify the unjutifiable?
Sorry folks, Yarl did a completely unjustifiable thing.. Both legally and morally, and there is no defense for it.
I will defend the right to bare arms, but when a gun owner does something insanely stupid and illegal I am not going to defend them for it. Yarl did a stupid and indefensible, illegal thing, and frankly just given those who want to take away your guns more ammo to try to do so.
“Sorry folks, Yarl did a completely unjustifiable thing.. Both legally and morally, and there is no defense for it.”
Yes, I believe that Yarl should be found innocent since there is no legal prohibition against ringing a doorbell at night.
Everything published in the first weeks is, usually, wrong, innacurate or a lie.
This has all of the hallmarks of a home invasion robbery.
Elderly are, most often, the victims.
If the kid's story is true, he still made a mistake, by continually ringing the bell when no one answered and then trying to open the storm door, when Lester opened the door.
In most states, lethal force can be used to protect oneself and "castle".
Even if mistaken, that is an affirmative defense.
I saw video of Mr Lester shuffling up to the bench with a cane and, then a photo of the teen sitting on a park bench, laughing, with his lawyer.
Laughing all the way to the bank, with $4,000,000 from go fund me, so far.
Infuriating.
The kid was not seriously injured, definitely not "clinging to life".
Not even a bandaid on his head.
Kids are hurt worse skateboarding, every day.
This story should have been no more than a local matter and is being used to further leftist causes and make money.
What good would come from sending an 85 year old law abiding citizen to jail for the rest of his life?
Oh and it's bear arms, not bare arms.
Lol. You’re “done with” the nonsense. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
“Both legally and morally, and there is no defense for it.”
If there is no defense, what are we waiting for?
Sentence first; then the verdict.
