Skateboarder Vs. Stand Your Ground Laws

[GnarAlarm]

I was once in a 7/11 when it was robbed at gunpoint.
Everyday I'm thankful there wasn't some concealed carry maverick in the gas station when it happened.
As it stands, nobody was hurt and 7/11 lost, what? Maybe $100 or so?
If some good ol' boy with a Rambo complex brandished a piece and got a crossfire going cause he wants be a hero, it could have been way...wayyyy worse.

The dude who pulled the gun has ZERO affiliation with the church. He just wanted to stop the kids skating.

AZ is planning on charging him with aggravated assault with a weapon and bringing a gun to a school (it was a church/school).

His response to the charges is he thinks he’s being charged because he’s a Trump supporter and not because he unlawfully brandished a weapon and brought it to a place where guns are prohibited.

Well, maybe, just maybe, his presidential candidate choice, and his support for said presidential candidate might be a reflection of other piss poor life choices he’s bound to make.. for instance, wielding a gun around like a brainless psychopath at a couple of skateboarders that were minding their own business, skateboarding somewhere that they had just as much of a right to be at as that idiot with the gun. Actually the skateboarders were causing less of a disturbance and were less of a danger to the public than that idiot in the tesla was… when he first got out of his car and started to approach the skateboarders it looked like he was about to accidentally shoot his own self in the head.. it’s surprising he didn’t shoot himself with the way he was pointing that gun around..

I can just about guarantee without looking that Trump won Gilbert. On your way to that church you will pass houses with old-ass ranch style houses, some with horses. Gilbert is a conservative place pretty much still stuck in the wild west mentality. Guy is just a jackass that harassed skaters that don't really have many places to skate in that area. Not to mention that there isn't any PD in AZ that is looking to persecute Trump supporters, certainly not Gilbert PD.

Hmm.. sounds like a living fucking nightmare. Sorry to hear that. Extra shitty that there’s few skat spots for the locals to skate and that you have to worry about a bunch of citizen hero’s that are trigger happy Q-tard. The suburb outside of Portland that I grew up in when my family moved up here from LA was somewhat the same as you’re explaining.. I feel bad for the local skaters in that town that don’t have any means of driving to a different area to avoid gun toting jackasses

Oh, I don't live in Gilbert, I live about 20 minutes away one municipality over. I only go there if it's for beer (there's an awesome gas station that carries an amazing selection and does growler fills run by this really nice dude that always remembers the kind of beer I like.) The East Valley has it's own dynamic. I'm in a chill part of ny town, near a community college. When you start driving by more than one church you know you're in conservative nutjob land. The density of conspiracy theorists goes way up.

There is a skatepark in the area of that church, but maybe they couldn't get there or wanted to skate something different. I think that should be allowed.

I worked graveyard shift for five years at an AMPM and only got robbed once. Dude got $40 and a carton of cigarettes. He didn't know I had $200 stashed for the morning rush, because it wasn't under the till. I was worried while it was happening that someone might come in and the situation would escalate, so I kept telling the dude to hurry up.

Pretty sure the waffen SS had the same sentiment

the nazis loosened the strict gun control  laws of the weimar republic

I’m sure that there’s an argument for this, but, im not going to take a Wikipedia page asa concrete fact. Just

this is not a conspiracy theory tho. you do know the nazis didn't come to power by a coup detat? they didnt need guns for that. they were voted in, elevated by their centrist major partner.

you can trust me cause i am german and i live here and we learn extensively about this time period of course. what source would be legit to you? i picked the wiki page to keep it short.

do you think a few jews and antifascists with a few domestic shotguns and rifles could have stopped the nazi regime? dude fucking two thirds of germany's was just hardcore into racism and fascism, it's not something that could have gone either just because a few marginalized and threatened arm themselves.

Thank you. I get so fucking tired of this canard about gun control in Germany. The idea that Hitler rounded up the guns and this is what kept the Germans from overthrowing him is just a complete historical fiction. Until the final few years of the war, he enjoyed broad popular support, having been elected through legal means and having executed the will of the German people. This lie also conveniently serves to obscure our complicity as Americans (where applicable) in this insane system of violence we project around the world.

You’re wrong, total Falsehood myth. I interpreted, analyzed and decoded your reply using only the first and last words from your response.

Also, its a proven fact that when the nazis ceased power in France hitler gave every French women over the age of 50 a panzer tank and Luger side arm.

I guess he was pretty giddy all that time after being named Time Magazine’s 1938 man of the year.
