Woah woah woah, slow it down, we don't know if it was murder yet. For all we know it was self defence.
Even if he did do it, it looked like a clear cut case of self defense. Brian was coming right for his throat.
But also, there wasn't a shooter. If you watch the video, Brian trips and falls on his own gun, shooting himself in the back 3 times
I saw a man heroically trying to divert the trajectory of the gun barrel. Pulling it back multiple times.
Or someone different.
Exactly. The media—and people as a whole—need to stop automatically assuming he's the killer. Even those who support him are still acting like he's the one who did it. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Agreed. The shooter was smart enough to ditch the backpack. Why wouldn’t the gun be in it?
Wait a minute… if it was, then the cops would have it, but if they told everyone it was in the backpack they wouldn’t have it to plant on some sap. But the cops would never mishandle evidence, would they? 🤔
He's the wrong guy entirely. His build doesn't look like those earlier NYPD photos showing the dude actually shooting the other dude. Not-Guilty. I think the NYPD picked up the wrong guy on purpose as an, "oops, I guess it's a cold case now."
Right like why would he still have the ghost gun a week later.... That makes no sense
What?
Ignore me; I misinterpreted your comment
Oh I was very lost haha
I'm not sure what your point is. That's why there's a trial. A murder trial. To decide if he's guilty. Nothing in the story claims otherwise. In fact, they go out of their way to point out that he has only been accused, not convicted.
But it looks like he's not innocent until proven guilty like other people have been in the past.
People generally don't have time to whittle words about their attackers profession onto bullet casings in a shootout, and fabricating untraceable firearms generally isn't something rich people do for self defence.
That's merely your understanding of self defence.
Other people like those in the jury may have a different understanding - and their understanding is more important here.
Lmao
Have fun in fairyland
I didn't predict how it'd end, just what counts.
Have fun in defeatistland.
Don't let these fools crush your dreams of world where regular jackoffs like you and me watch out for each other. I got your back on this one fam
I won't, but it's always good knowing we're not alone and on the right side.
Thank you! I've got yours!
Innocent until proven guilty!
Defeat? Whats to be defeatist about? Luigi didn't improve anything for anyone and him walking free or going to prison is a net zero result for society.
Yes but no matter how obvious you think guilt is, eveyone has to go through a trial. Cops aren’t the judges or executioners.
Luigi's trial is this month, Cops didn't execute him lmao
Yes, but who has the time to do that when they're playing Battletech at the same time as the murder? Which he totally was with me at that exact moment.
I take it you've never been to the USA? They do it almost constantly as a hobby. 2nd Amendment bullshit.
It's highly illegal. There is a massive supply of firearms from large manufacturers, the only reason to make your own as a rich man is because you're bored AF or you plan to murder somebody.
It's not, not anymore at least. As of Friday, Trump directed Bondi to do a review and potential roll-back on the Biden-era provisions surrounding ghost guns.
A lot of the 2nd amendment types LOVE printing ghost guns. They find it amusing, interesting and generally speaking they are firearms enthusiasts. Just because some dipshit already has 20 AR-15s, 8 pistols, 3 shotguns and a sniper rifle, does NOT dissuade them from having a ghost gun.

This shit is 3 years old. It should provide you some necessary insight.
I mean its basically the firearms equivalent of building your own retro-console from spare parts. Janky and underpowered compared to what's on the market from big manufacturers, but much of the point is in the building.
