Man uses gun against robbers....police want help finding the man

[jmdrake]

Note everyone in the video is black. If you go to youtube and read the comments EVERYBODY, white and black, supports the victim who used self defense. Pleasantly not surprised.

I'll add this to @Anti Federalist's "Guns save lives" thread even though apparently the LAPD doesn't see it that way.

Police don't need to look for the man in the blue jersey. He did his due diligence and should be regarded as a hero.

I hope they never find him. It's pretty clear what happened from the video. His testimony should not be necessary.

Unless it was an illegal gun he was carrying. Which is likely, considering the socioeconomic factors present in his skin pigmentation.

Old story. They haven’t found him yet?

The current anti-gun narrative is so broken, it's almost impossible to exaggerate how broken it is. They're pulling every dirty trick known to man. Sure, ARs aren't banned yet, but good luck finding one to purchase it (yes, I know LGS still has them, but you practically cannot find them online). With many police departments failing to perform even the most basic parts of their task, law-abiding women, law-abiding elderly, law-abiding minorities and many other vulnerable law-abiding citizens are starting to own a firearm for the first time. These are people who can't go toe-to-toe with a young, able-bodied male in a fistfight (and nobody can go toe-to-toe with a firearm, legal or illegal).

Even the Left is fracturing on this issue because those in minority communities know that their American right to own a firearm and use it in self-defense may very well be their first and last line of defense against violent crooks in an era of 10-20 minute police response times (even in some urban areas) to in-progress crimes unless, of course, there's a gunshot. And that's not even considering the fact that calling the cops may increase the danger, as well as those who live in areas of the city that the patrol cops simply won't enter because it's too dangerous unless they roll in as an armored convoy.



A lot of folks on RPF expressing huge distrust of police in the wake of the Uvalde response. I think it's completely fair that those who come from the other end of the political spectrum have the same suspicion of police and even of the potential for tacit police support of racist organizations in certain areas of the country. That's a fear that some people have and it's not my place to judge. If they're American citizens, they have the same 2A rights and I encourage them to be fully armed. I certainly won't be confronting them in the streets because there is no reason for me to, and vice-versa. In other words, peaceful, law-abiding citizens ought to be in favor of other peaceful, law-abiding citizens being armed, because this really does make the whole community more secure. And the tyrannical State thrives in a security vacuum, which is why they want to grab everybody's guns.

So, Biden, I suppose NAAGA "ain't black" according to you? Try to grab their guns, and I'll stand with them just as I'll stand with any law-abiding American defending their 2A rights. Or is the Constitution -- which defines your job and your salary -- "not absolute"? Why don't you donate that $400k "not absolute" salary to charity if it's so "not absolute"?

These people are clowns... in fact, we shouldn't even insult clowns that way. I'll abridge myself...

I know this is off topic.

Imagine a world where its citizens took responsibility. Two people get in a car crash. The person who is at fault admits it, and pays for the damages. But this is very "magic" thinking.

Introduce the Insurance Company.

The insurance company does not yet have laws passed to mandate insurance to drive. So they make offers to pay large sums if you pay them a small monthly fee. You dont get in accidents, so they just keep your money. That money they keep doesnt build out because max payout has a cap, much lower than totals they make off the responsible driver. Then they start buying politicians with your money so they can force everyone to give them money.

One of the ways those in power take your freedom is not by taking away your freedoms of things you want, rather by taking away your freedoms of things that you should be responsible for unto yourself. If you WANTED to pay someone for any accidental damages in a minor traffic accident, they WANT that to be ILLEGAL.

Middlemen.

I bet they haven't. He's got no incentive to turn himself in. And everybody else would rather give him a pat on the back.
