Well, I agree for the notion of the big-name bought and paid for types like the legacy media. I think snuffing out the notion of journalism completely would either put dissemination of information into the hands of the government (very bad) or would make it a giant game of telephone, like it practically is now seeing as we have to learn about shit from word of mouth and video recordings over what these news anchors tell us - better but not ideal.

The Washington Post's motto, as much as I hate them: "Democracy Dies in Darkness." is actually pretty legit when you think about it. Problem is WaPo and all of these other big media outlets are utterly compromised.

So no, eliminating the profession of journalism is silly. Free people have a right to unbiased and objective information, our journalistic institutions are failing us at providing that. We need to fix journalism and bring back its integrity, and there are plenty of small, independent journalists and organizations trying to do just that.

Don't think the left is going to talk about this at all, they don't want anyone thinking people against the restrictions are anything but American redneck yokels.

Too bad the Kid is going to be set free. Worst case then pin him for carrying underage. Good luck keeping your courthouse from getting broken down brick by fucking brick for throwing a hero away over some bullshit like that.

Mmmmm, delicious.

Great write up.

Yeah I think part of the reason why his response has mostly been along the lines of: 'Fuck you Dem governor/mayor, if you aren't begging for Federal aid I'm not sending it in.' is because he doesn't want to appear heavy handed.

I think the gloves are gonna come off after he handily brings home another 4 years.

I was a combat arms soldier for eight years and I'm a combat vet, I don't even know if I could pull off restraint like that. It's unbelievable how well the Kid kept his shit together despite (I'm assuming) not having any formal training.

Lol shooting a guy in the chest who just took advantage of you tripping while retreating to slam you in the head with a skateboard? Reckless Homicide or Intentional Homicide? Guess he should've just let skater boy beat him to death. These guys are begging to lose.

A mass shooter? He "busted on" one outwardly violent bald pedo who was begging him to shoot him before fucking charging him. These people are fucking retarded.

Surprised he's still conscious after getting his brain scrambled by ol' 5.56mm NATO like that.

I don't care if Trump and Biden debate each other from the two different sides of a room with nothing but a moderator, cameraman and the two candidates. If they don't debate, Biden's a pussy and the Democrats don't want him in front of Trump, that's all there is to it.

Yeah exactly, how the fuck are you going to run up on this guy who is trying to disengage in order to execute him, get your arm fucking wrecked and the authorities let you walk? The Kid was attempting to retreat, they had no damned right to attack him.

I hope somebody reminded him to keep his mouth shut unless his lawyer is telling him to respond.

Guy's an instant pro-2A hero. Bet you the company that made the rifle he used would give him a job and nobody would be any wiser for it.

When you take a bullet to the head you have a lot more going on than just a skull fracture. You're not seeing the exit wound either. That guy's brains were red oatmeal and he probably had a gaping hole out the other side of his dome.

I would hope, if you really witnessed that shit, that you are going to get in contact with that kid's defense team when the time comes.

Skater boy and headshot dude were video taped together before SHTF. I am willing to bet they were in close proximity when headshot dude got waxed. That leads me to believe they knew who they were chasing down.

I haven't been able to discern from the video of the first enagagement if it was him or not but it seems to be the general consensus.

I know we're talking about the 'disarmed' pistol carrier, but skateboard boy looks like he took one right in the center of his torso. Good-fucking-night!

I think he has it in-hand in the first photo too. Pinched between his thumb and index finger, we can only see the butt of the pistol. I think the Kid has a strong argument for thinking his sudden move to get behind him was an attempt to kill him.

Bad, bad fucking idea to make a quick move with your hands up and a gun in your hand. The subsequent still easily shows that he appeared to be about to sidestep around the kid and execute him at point blank range.

What's more, if his intent wasn't to attempt to shoot this better-armed opponent at point blank range, then why the fuck did he have his gun out?

Trash tier medic if I've ever seen one. When I was in Iraq one of our medics (a real one, to be fair) took a bullet through his forearm and rendered first aid to himself on the spot.

I hope you're right.

Before or after he got his brains scrambled by somewhere between 55 and 72 grains of 5.56mm NATO? Or both?

Gotcha, yeah that's bullshit.

That's a lot of weight on the rifle too. It might not seem like it matters but think about the insane movement factors involved in the shots that kid pulled off to survive.
