(2,531 posts)Whether or not you believe in what these people were doing, they were not committing violence. He got out of the car so police would stop shooting AT THE CAR FULL OF PEOPLE. He walked away from the car, held his arms up, and said go ahead and shoot me. And they did. They were supposedly on their way to a place to meet with authorities when they found out it was a setup and they were getting shot at and forced to stop driving. This is what I remember from the interview with the victim's wife, who was a passenger in the car.
What were they thinking? Was everyone in the car supposed to die? That's the only thing that makes sense to me.
And perhaps population control can be achieved by shooting every person labeled as a 'douchebag' anyway. That would include everyone who carries ('humps') guns.
Being armed is Un-American now. Calling yourself an American is also Un-American it would seem.
