This is an interesting article. His friend, who also took a CDL class, reminds Perry that creating a situation where you have to shoot to defend yourself is "not a good shoot".

I wonder what would have happened to Perry if instead of shooting Foster he instead in a fit of Fear from the mob that was blocking his car floored it and ran over Foster?



I don't know why these angry mobs are even allowed to form because nothing good comes from them.



I saw one on the news last night were idiots were stopping cars, holding up signs and banging on the windows. Oh yeah I'm sure that you people that are protesting for Trans Rights are going to change minds by scaring drivers. We should be allowed to drive through these morons.

If Perry had done that he wouldn't be going to prison.
....or if he had shot and robbed some innocent in DA Bragg's jurisdiction.

You don't provoke in this manner by lawfully and peacefully being somewhere that you're allowed to be. Perry would have provoked had he aggressively tried to drive his car through the crowd and they reacted in self defense, after which he shot someone. But none of that happened.
The part in bold is contrary to law and, if that's how the prosecution argued the case, the case will be reversed on appeal.

Do you realize that Garrett Foster was also former military? Honorably discharged from the air force to care for his medical needs girlfriend.

Then he should have known better than to be threatening people with a rifle.

If he pointed a rifle at me, I would have shot him. Difference here is that no jury would convict.

There are those who say he wasn't - that the rifle his pointed down.

There is a fuzzy picture, and it's difficult to tell.

Walking around carrying an obviously visible gun is perfectly legal here, and that's what many witnesses said he was doing.

Any ANTIFA Freak deserves to be 6 foot under. They have been causing trouble burning business and attacking Police for years.
