The libs are all up in arms that the guy was charged with battery. In their minds, the CCW holder should be charged.

Seriously.

To make it even better, the CCW is a black guy, and the idiot who tackled and choked him is a white guy.

I'm not so sure it was luck. Guy comes from behind shouting "he's got a gun" and puts you in a chokehold, you going to shoot him? I think, probably not. On second thought, the mall ninja probably is lucky that he at least thought to let everyone know what he was doing. The carrier just assessed the situation reasonably, just as most of us would have.

That's got to cause all kinds of cognitive dissonance with the libs. Shouldn't foster be charged with a hate crime?

Probably, the DOJ should investigate Foster for racism, therefore, a hate crime.

I'm guessing most HOOD boys aren't 62 years old. Maybe he looks young for his age. ED K

I don't understand the question. Does carrying mean that you stop using your head?

You must have mind reading powers or you carry only to make yourself feel better.

My take on this situation is this: if gun had really been concealed this fellow would never had known that he was carrying in the fist place and none of the rest would have happened. Cheers NC

What a pukkin idiot, that's a good way to get shot. A choke hold is lethal force, you'd be within your rights to shoot someone who did that completely unprovoked.

Conservatives could really turn this one around on the libs. Honest question, would the guy have done the same thing if the CCW guy was white?

No, I read the whole story. Of course we never really get the whole story, but it reads to me like the victim in this case had sufficient reason to believe that the attacker was simply mistaken, and might be stopped without serious harm to either. If he had simply shot the guy straight out, I suppose he might have been legally okay - but if he found himself in court over it, "reasonableness " would make or break him. All such incidents are fluid and fast, so a "shoot or no shoot " decision was surely in the making. But I disagree that it was necessarily an appropriate response.
