It's a reflection of your character. When a guy spends 7 years in prison for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon i'd be weary if i was the cop having to confront him when he has a gun on him. Not saying the officer knew his record, nor does he deserve to die because of his passed deeds.


So why are you bringing it up? This man's death isn't any less tragic because he had a criminal record or had drugs in the car, despite what conservative talking heads are saying.

It is a little less tragic if he brought it on himself by waving a gun in the direction of a police officer however. The fact that he is an ex-con and was convicted of a violent crime is evidence toward his character being that of a man who might do such a thing.

Oh yes. Essentially you're within your legal rights to be in your own store during a riot, and while there are legitimately allowed to fear for not only your property but also your life, and are within your rights to shoot anyone coming through a locked door or window. For a historical example:



For the record Korean owned businesses made up about 45% of the damage in the 92 riots, despite the protection. One iconic image showed Korean business owners firing pistols into a roving looter mob, framing the race war in an image. It also spawned this hilarious meme:

Ferguson saw similar responses from business owners after the first night of destruction.


That's pretty funny. :rofl:

I vaguely remembered it from the Ferguson or Baltimore thread, which ever it was originally made in, and it just fit perfect into Duff's question lol

I shudder to think of the bodycount if business owners exercised their legal right to shoot looters tho...

That'd be a body count to be celebrated. No sympathy for looters.

Eh, i disagree. Let's say hypothetically you're in highschool in Charlotte. You get let out of class at 3:30 and start hearing that a large amount of people are headed down town to see the protests. It quickly becomes a large mob of people walking around with a few fringe idiots smashing windows or looting, then a few monkey see monkey do types take up the looting and before you know it a mass of people who aren't looting are in the crossfire and dead. That post i made earlier outlined that in the hysteria of 92 some koreans were seen firing into crowds at random to attempt to disperse the mobs, that's what it invariably leads to as well as unintended crossfire. In any protest mob there are a large number who aren't looting or damaging anything, look up any video and you'll see there are 5 guys smashing a car and 30 guys encircling it. Looting follows that same relationship to a point.
