Oakland man acquitted in murder trial over shooting when he was 18
By NATE GARTRELL
OAKLAND — In a case that the defense attorney says exemplifies problems with prosecuting 18- to 25-year-olds in the adult justice system, an Alameda County jury acquitted a man who was barely 18 when he shot and killed an Oakland man during a confrontation outside of a liquor store.Jesus Lima, 21, testified during trial that he fired a shot after the victim, 20-year-old Deivi Zacarias-Lopez, and four others attacked him. Lima’s attorney argued to jurors that Lima had acted in self-defense, noting that he retreated 62 feet before bringing the gun from his waistband.
Prosecutors argued that Lima was the aggressor and had threatened a man in the other group before. Jurors deliberated for roughly two days before acquitting Lima of murder, manslaughter, and assault charges.

“the magazine had a tendency to fall out”
I wonder if that is why or because of the way the shooter is holding it in the video.
Think it was you HAD to hold the POS that way to keep the magazine from falling out. “…shim up with birch chips…” DAAAYUUUM!
Wrong house, dumbass, and a big SALUTE for gang banger taking out the other gang banger.
Shim up with birch chips.
Tells you a lot about the state of the communist Soviet designing, manufacturing, and quality control, doesn’t it?
Another manifestation of the famous “Fuck You End User” design philosophy so prevalent in Soviet Russia.
Well, that little matter of fighting an existential war against Nazi Germany that was ongoing at the time might have had a bit to do with their adopting that particular “quick and dirty” solution . . . . (smile)
Better is the enemy of good enough, Hondo?

Thx ‘Ed.
Read through the gun linkie. I thought that SVT40 looked a lot like an SKS around the receiver. And reading the name “Simonov” and to the end of the article confirmed it.
May you never run out of gun articles to post here. Even the fugly guns.
Bangers wanted have some fun
Sent a man on the run
When they trapped him like a rat
The man quickly pulled out his gat
Bangers were really brave
Until one was put in the grave
Um, “exemplifies problems of prosecuting 18-to-25-years olds in the adult justice system”… WTF, did the age of majority and being responsible for one’s actions suddenly jump from 18 to 26?
Only problem is the 18-to-25-year-old age group does a lot of stupid sh*t, relatively speaking.
