Because he wasn't charged makes it OK? You have no clue what peace and harmony mean. You think that by carrying your gun around you are making a positive contribution to society, rather than contributing to the failure of society. You pose as a peaceful liberal, but you shill for the NRA and the wingnuts. I'm sure it's all part of that family fun thing. Have a Merry Xmas!
