Not a shooting this time; but it reminds me of the old saying, “If guns are outlawed, may we use swords?”
Seems as though some asswipe was hassling a couple on a NYC subway train, and when the hassling became dangerous, the male of the couple produced a knife and stuck it in the choirboy’s chest, the latter assuming room temperature soon thereafter.
But wait! There’s more!
Of course, because this happened in NYfC, Our Hero was arrested and the fuzz set about charging him with murder, unlawful use of a kitchen implement, terminal frightening or whatever stupid laws they have in New York these days.
BUT: after reviewing all the facts, all charges were dropped because, and I quote,
“Under New York law, a person is justified in using deadly physical force when they reasonably believe it is necessary to use such force to defend themselves or others from imminent use of deadly or unlawful physical force.”
Sounds more like Texas or Florida than NYFC, but whatever.
And speaking of quotes, let’s hear it from the late choirboy’s family:
Ouedraogo’s younger sister Marina said she believes the dismissal was “just wrong,” The New York Times reported. “It is sending a signal that basically any one of us can carry a weapon.”
Well, yeah… welcome to the Second Amendment, honey.
2nd amend my white pimply ass. Has nothing to do with it. I’ll have whatever I want, whether that be a hammer, a knife, gun, length of lumber or anything else and nobody gets to say anything about it.
The 2nd isn’t about US, it’s about THEM. Accordingly, THEY shall not infringe….but there they are with their background checks, age limits, pistol braces, sheen guns, that thing that goes up, all over the map infringing left and right.
What do you do when the law makers regularly violate the laws?
Oh yeah, the stabber was a negro, that’s why he got off, natch.
sounds like that Marine in NYC was justified in choking out that violent homeless dude whose family didn’t give a fig about until he met his timely demise.
They never care until it looks like Uncle Homeless Bum stands to “inherit” some money, and then he’s their favorite Uncle.
It’s really a shame that the Government always caves to the tune of millions of dollars. If the case were to actually get to trial, the total lack of economic support or even contribution by the recently discovered deceased relative would reduce the recovery by the suddenly interested family to something in the range of the cost of a used car.
In this case, both the stabber and stabbee were melanin enhanced.
Which probably explains why Daniel Penney is being railroaded.
Beat me to it….exactly.
What am I missing here? Stabber is black. Marine is white. Oh, yeah. D.A. Bragg is a racist f*ck. Got it!
You got it.
“basically any one of us can carry a weapon.” Not just the criminals…
