A sheriff in Virginia has apologized to a Black pastor who was mistakenly arrested after he called authorities for help during an alleged attack by a white family earlier this month. McCray said that all five people started attacking him verbally and physically. They were "threatening to kill me... telling me that my Black life didn't matter," he said. That's when he felt the need to pull his concealed firearm to save his life, he said. The group of people then left and McCray proceeded to call 9-1-1 for help. https://news.yahoo.com/black-pastor-calls-911-alleged-200323783.html Certainly the NRA and conservatives will defend this man's right to have a gun.....
On Friday, Shenandoah County Sheriff Timothy Carter announced that the brandishing charge against McCray would be dropped and that five people were arrested after the sheriff's office "obtained warrants for more severe charges regarding this investigation."
Glad he had the weapon, and if they were committing an unjustified physical assault on him, I would be happy if he would have shot them. Most of us stand on the side of law and order, not on the side of any particular race. If America had zero criminals, it would be an awesome place. I'm good with violent criminals being dead.
Yeah, you can tell by the moisture on 'her' lips(I know, she looks ugly AF). Girls generally have more moisture on their lips(makeup, other things) then men who have dry lips.
These guys are either a family from a small town where the phone book is three pages long and everyone has the same last name, or a collection of Dick Tracy villains. And there may be some overlap here.
Sorry, but when police show up to an altercation, and you have 5 witnesses versus 1, they are going to arrest the one person. This may likely have had very little to do with the pastor's race, as some people are quick to suppose.
Yeah...spoken like someone who has never been to a gun store or a gun show. You wanna see diversity? Go to a gun show...it's people of all races and genders...all two of them.
That sheriff's credentials should come under review, he clearly did not follow procedure. He has no excuse for his actions.
Of course, even the constitution defends that right. Guns can save lives. I remember an occasion when 4 black men stopped my car on the west side of Chicago. They demanded I get out of the car. I raised my gun to the windshield and they dispersed. I'm glad I had it with me that day. I was once on a motorcycle and was run off the road in California. The driver who did that approached me with a tire iron in his hand. I pulled out my .357 mag revolver and leveled it at his chest. He changed his mind and returned to his pickup truck. One night a pair of horse thieves pulled up to my barn and started trying to move of couple of my horses to their trailer. When they heard the action of the Remington 870 shotgun they changed their mind, drove off, leaving my horses loose on the road. Too bad these things happen but they do. The one time that I was shot outside of military duty, occurred in a bar in Paris. The idiot entered the bar and started shooting randomly. I took one in the leg. I didn't have a gun with me. It wasn't a serious wound. A pair of police officers helped to a nearby hospital where they removed it from my leg, patched it and sent me on my way with a pair of crutches. I don't carry a gun any longer because I no longer live in a city so it doesn't seem necessary. But I recommend it to all city dwellers.
I think the two on the right are the parents of the other three. Plus, those two look like they could be cousins.
I would have a beer with the pastor, but not that gallery of inbred morons. I would probably end up shooting them myself.
Or anyone who has read the Constitution and made it as far as the first two amendments! Do you still think cops should be the only ones carrying guns?
The progressive care for the disabused and impoverished working class is such a wonderful thing to behold. It warms my heart really.
First point out why the NRA or "Conservatives" would have any issue with him defending himself.. You will notice these loons were not allowed bail.. Do you think the ACLU will take up their case? You are against bail right?
I live in Los Angeles. (The Democrats petri dish) No ordinary citizens are permitted to carry a gun. Only cops, judges, and criminals carry them here.
