They're already spreading "but he had a gun" across social media as mitigation. Well, yeah. This is America, you literally run for public office on the strength of the right to do that. Cops take down armed offenders every day without executing them in the street.

I can’t find where, but apparently there is some video analysis from Bellingcat, not an outlet that would push a regime-friendly line, that suggests he may well have fired a shot first.

Have you seen the various angles of this? There isn't any suggestion at all of him brandishing, much less firing. He's pinned down by multiple agents with no ability to free his arms. He is then executed. It's not really debatable.

That's not what I saw from Bellingcat at all. Apparently the gun is notorious for going off without the trigger being pulled too.
Gun taken away before the first shot was fired.

Ah that’s good (well, not good, obviously) thanks. I read something second hand that gave a very different impression of what Belligcat said.

He’s stood in a photo, phone out filming with his hand up, protecting a woman from the thugs.

Then he’s shot.

No sign of him holding a gun from what ive seen.
Cold blooded murder and the predictable response from Trump and fellow cunts.

Telling that the 2A crowd are all “they should have complied.”
I’ve been staunchly anti-gun for years, (despite knowing my way around them thanks to cadets/hunting) and this is making me come over to Chics way of thinking. Fuck it, even my students have guns at this point.

Isn’t armed, masked agents of the state executing civilians (a nurse, no less), what they say the second amendment is for and why Americans need ridiculous guns?
