Sunday morning feel good stories
In Fresno, California, last January, a sanitation worker for the City of Fresno was held up by Jeremy Lynd when he made a withdrawal of money at an ATM. When he was slow to drop his wallet for the slug, Lynd shot him with a taser. So he reached in his car and came up with a gun. Lynd jumped in his getaway car piloted by Bobbie-Sue Sevier. She struck the victim’s car and the victim responded by firing four times, hitting Sevier in the leg. Lynd ran off leaving his accomplice behind, but now they’re all in the court room facing justice.
An update on one of our stories from Washington County, Pennsylvania; David William Murray, 53, shot Nathaniel Gardner, 52 DRT when Gardner kicked in his door last month. Police found a marijuana grow operation in Murray’s home, so now he’s facing murder charges. As an explanation, the local DA wrote, “People engaged in illegal drug activity cannot invoke the Castle Doctrine as justification for the use of deadly force.”

Why not? You don’t surrender your rights to be safe in your home from someone kicking in your door before you are charged with something else do you?
This is a sure sign of a police state…using any excuse at all to circumvent the clear intent of the law.
What will the excuse be once that drug is legalized?
I’m sure it will have something to do with not paying for a license….
The FSA state cannot exist without a police state. The greatest argument against welfare is not that it is wasteful but that it requires tyranny to operate at all.
I like that the Sanitation worker is so dedicated to taking out the trash!
A bit more range time would be indicated, but A+ for effort. You certainly -can- function after being tazed, but it takes some gumption.

Politically weird tech moment: my computer keeps spell-check morphing “tazed” into “taxed”. Hmmmmm…..

Bullshit Law. Its basically saying a thug breaking into your house has all the protection of an LEO if you have something illegal in your home. If it is proven to be simply a drug-related shooting ( IE a deal gone bad) its a totally different matter than someone breaking into your house.
