    Those flock cameras are known to aggressively attack. Im absolutely certain this was in self defense.

    Using what? Shotgun, paintball gun, pellet gun: I’ll donate to this campaign/defense fund. Handgun, canon, or rifle: go fuck yourself.

        Well, shotguns generally are extremely range limited, and birdshot is pretty mild after a couple dozen feet. You’re not gonna hurt someone accidentally, even if you completely miss the thing.

        Handguns and rifles have an extremely high likelihood of hitting something or someone behind whatever you’re shooting at and travel great distance. Miss the camera, and you end up doming some poor bastard just walking down the street a mile away, or hitting some kid chilling in their room.

          If by “extremely high likelihood” you mean “a remote but non zero chance” then I agree. It’s obviously too high a chance to take when it could result in someone’s death, but there’s just to much empty space between people to make it likely he would hit someone.

          That’s fair acrually but I would hope he would walk up to it and shoot it and not try to hit it with a scope from 100 yards away.

          There is truth in what you say though.

    So what you’re saying is he’s a first amendment supporter with good aim who isn’t afraid to take direct action against federal surveillance overreach, right? I think you could sell this to the Republicans as a candidate just as easily as to the Democrats.

      I think you mean 2nd Amendment, 1st is free speech. The 2nd is right to bear arms. But you’re otherwise 100% correct. If I were in the district/state he would have my vote. If we can put a pedophile in the White House, we can surely put this guy in Congress.

          Bullets cost money, so bullets are just a way of projecting speech. Finally, a way for the average person to “talk” to a politician where they’ll actually listen.

          Does this qualify me to be a Supreme Court judge?

        First is more! Speech, press, religion, assembly and redress of grievances. But no one on the right believes Trump is a pedophile btw.

    Felony “charges”. They can nullified just as easily as bad charges can be convictions if you have the correct jury.
