More info from an actual news article Bonx Apr 2015 #3

Well, that's certainly a valid reason to gun him down. KamaAina Apr 2015 #6

Why did you post that ? Bonx Apr 2015 #8

Because it sounds very much like you're blaming the victim. KamaAina Apr 2015 #10

News article = blame ? No, just hopefully more accurate information. Bonx Apr 2015 #11

A media story isn't necessarily more reliable bl968 Apr 2015 #14

Well, I hope you will at least consider what I linked worthy of consideration Bonx Apr 2015 #32

Accusing me of wanting him gunned down is part of the story ? Bonx Apr 2015 #51

It's a valid reason for police to believe that he might be armed. Yo_Mama Apr 2015 #58

And you might at least wait until your partner yells "Gun!" KamaAina Apr 2015 #63

We heard a lot of things that witnesses allegedly said shebolleth Apr 2015 #65

The DOJ only gets to work with second hand information. So they go by what they get in reports Rex Apr 2015 #68

DOJ also interviewed people shebolleth Apr 2015 #69

True but the DOJ was never there first hand during the crisis. Rex Apr 2015 #70
