Possession of firearms by felons is a felony also. You'll be ok if you live in a Soros DA territory like Houston. Prosecutors like Kim Ogg won't charge you so you can stay in the street free to kill a cop. His name was Harold Preston
He was a felon and that is why the body armor was illegal...
And also - some items are illegal 'based on intent' - an 8" knife is legal in your kitchen making salsa....
but is illegal if you walk into a party store with a mask on intent on robbing the store.
Intent as part of the law makes sense imo, I want someone who planned a murder punished more harshly then someone responsible for a death due to a foolish decision, for example. One should be 1st degree murder the other manslaughter or whatever. The problem comes in when they want to make the same crime worse due to intent via hate crime laws, those are an abomination.
The problem is - they/ the DA can enforce 'intent' anyway they feel...
Kyle Rittenhouse, the Kenosha Kid, is attacked by multiple people in a mob event... and uses deadly force to defend his own life... and the prosecutor wants to charge him with murder...
That is going to come down to debate in court... about 'intent' - while Kyles entire FUTURE hangs in the balance... and how can the DA pretend to know what Kyle was thinking...
Ya that is horseshit for sure. I personally don't care if Kyle went there hoping to get the chance to lawfully kill some rioters, knowing they are violent thugs who attack indiscriminately. I don't think that was the case but even if it was i don't care. Reason being, the only people who are dead/injured are people that attacked him. It's on video, you can watch him being attacked. It doesn't matter what his intent was in that case, what is he supposed to do just sit there while a guy is smashing him with a club?
Now if he had shot his attackers, then basically acted like it was open season and killed other rioters that were not a direct threat to him i could see intent being more relevant.
Maybe I should have clarified in the original post that the intent factor is definitely abused sometimes (like in Kyle's case if that's what they intend to use to try to get him) imo, but it also has a place, like the example I gave about murder vs manslaugher.
The guy was a convicted felon joining in with the other convicted felons in burn loot murder and antifa to take part in rioting. He got caught and hece was charged with convicted felon possession of body armor. The law is working as it should. The commies having body armor makes them more difficult to deal with
Convicted Felon. I'm cool with that.
Bro he just fucking told me you. Look it the fuck up yourself, get your thumb out of your ass, and think?
"Hurr durr why evr wud a gov want to improperly classify felons to strip them of rights?" Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Now that the pede got you thinking, research it. Otherwise you have to go back to reddit.
Calm down. You're going to hurt yourself or somebody.
I agree
They can arrest you for anything if you commit wrongthink
Yeah, but in this case it was a convicted felon wearing body armor while blocking traffic. I'm ok with this.
This is what Ol Dirty Bastard got charged with, possession by a convicted felon

Intent is -sadly- part of the law.

Wait, federal charges? Since when is body armor illegal?
