Someone just tried to assassinate Trump

Two things can be true at the same time. In my opinion, she is responsible for her own death because she intentionally put herself in harms way and intentionally interfered with an officer’s performance of his duties, then she disobeyed lawful direction, and then she attempted to flee and quite likely used her vehicle to display force.

It can also be true that the officer should not have fired his weapon (this is where I am reserving judgment).

I do not view the second point as an intervening act that relieves the woman of her responsibility under the first point.

Agreed. Sorry if I came across as sounding like I don’t hold them both accountable — I said as much in a previous and probably now buried post.

Dafuq does that have to do with anything? I have cool things that go bang and also things to make the bang less loud.

My opinion is not prefaced on what is in my gun safe, nor is it even prefaced on my law degree and 20+ years of experience litigating cases. My opinion really stems from the fact that I stayed at a Holiday Inn last weekend.

You started in on me with “are you sure it’s not the fault of the gun” line of reasoning. I’m saying no, I don’t think that, quite the opposite in fact.
 
Is this all a smoke screen to hide the corruption exposed by the learing center?

Sacrifices must be made for the greater cause...


But a "legal observer" observes from an appropriate distance, not drive into the middle of an opperation and interfere. In the original video it looks like she hit or attempted to hit a passing DHS vehicle before the second vehicle stopped and the officers exited to arrest her.

Watching police body cam video in the background, police rightfully open fire in identical situations.

She thought she was some entitled special white woman who could do whatever she pleases without consequence. This should serve as warning to many like her, that actions have consequences, especially interfering with armed law enforcement.
 
Wouldn't it be cool if people left the law enforcement to the law enforcement people and stayed TF out of their way?

How anyone can't agree that if this woman had not been there with the express purpose of interfering with a 100% legal and sanctioned
operation then 100% she would still be alive. Full stop. I'm not going to second guess the actions of an officer/agent in the middle of performing his duties and obviously felt the need to defend himself.

Edit: Not sure about anyone else, but I've been near some serious shit going down and the only thing I want is to clear the hell out of there like right now - not get in the cops way and be a busybody. To do otherwise is only asking for trouble
