He was faced with opponents that were armed, and attacking folks, with SO CALLED NONLETHAL weapons. He says he feared that he and a friend would be killed. So, he shot the thug.

Why are right wingers allowed to slaughter kids they think MIGHT be casing houses? Hunt joggers?

This man had EVERY reason to feel threatened.

The thug was shot, almost if not actually, simultaneously as he shot others.

Why is it, that white folks are allowed to be scared, but others are not?
Why is it, that black folks are shot for saying that they have a LEGAL firearm? Why is it, that blacks are considered armed, if they have a knife in the seatwell? And are out of the car?

We have two classes of people. Ones that can protect their lives, and those that have to hope not to be snuffed.

AS for this killing, I dont trust cops. They should have had bodycam. If not, why not?

The details are sketchy, and the claims of his producing a weapon, are in conflict within the statements.

“Initial reports indicate the suspect produced a firearm, threatening the lives of law enforcement officers,” the Marshals Service said in a statement. “Task force members responded to the threat and struck the suspect who was pronounced dead at the scene.”

“As they attempted to apprehend him, there was gunfire,” he said, adding that four officers fired their weapons and that the suspect was thought to be armed. Shots were fired into the vehicle and the suspect fled, then more shots were fired.

He was the bad kind of communist. Now he’s the good kind of communist. Sucks to be him.

You have called liberals communist. Is it open murder season on libs?

Oh, Im sorry, he was a BAD communist. Perhaps we had best worry where you draw the line of worthy of life, and unworthy, ACCORDING to you right wingers.

You thought that saying, another dead fascist, was horrible language for the ANIFA folks to use about the thug. Now, you are just as vile as you CLAIM Antifa are.

People can say anything though.

I will,support a liberal killing a trump guy in a second, if video shows the trunper being the aggressor
 
He was a murderer, who decided to fight the feds. Bad move. Good riddance to a POS.

Where's the evidence of this? The video shows him crossing the street, turning and raising a gun toward his victim for no apparent reason, and firing. The spray of mace toward him started only AFTER he turned and aimed his gun at the victim.

Shooting folks with mace, and paintbaLLS, would be plenty of cause to snuff some black folks.

They were already shooting others, before him.

He did not have a right to stand his ground.

No self defense statute in the US applies when it comes to law enforcement officers who are performing their duty...

He had a right to stand his ground, and pump lead into the thug. Not the police. We dont know if he REALLY even resisted, or had a gun.

The difference is that Antifa killed a person, whereas the U.S. Marshals killed a communist. Not remotely analogous.
 
It appears he has a history of unlawful possession of firearms.

He was the aggressor. He approached the man and shot him, not the other way around.

He says he thought the guy was going to kill him and his friend. That is STAND YOUR GROUND territory.

Let me get this straight... A guy with a Patriot Prayer hat on walking down the street, who was not witnessed making any death threats, did not have a gun or knife in his hand, and wasn't even walking toward him, he claims was going to kill him, so he approached him from behind and shot him twice...

Is that really the story you want embrace and defend?

The guy did an interview, BEFORE he knew the feds were gonna kill him. He said, he didnt feel he had a choice. HE thought the guy was going to kill him and his friend. Now, if that is not the case, then it is not stand your ground area.

We are being lied to constantly. Most of the details are omitted, or biased and not reliable. We dont know if or how many guns the right wing thugs had. They arent telling us. The video of the killing, is not clear enough, without close study, to determine who is at fault. Nor are the police telling enough to know ANYTHING.

well when we see evidence of that, I will believe it. until then he was a cold blooded murderer.

What I said was based on the video evidence, and although it isn't as much evidence as I'd like to see, it indicates that the ANTIFA guy was the aggressor, that he wasn't in imminent danger of great bodily harm, and stand your ground doesn't ally.

I understand that the terrible video says one thing. It is not near enough. BUT, you right wingers say that REALLY feeling in danger, IS DANGER, and is justification for killing.
