At first I thought.....fuck I would shoot that bitch, too.
My first ex husbands grandfather fought in WW2, and he obtained an actual nazi flag. It even had dried nazi blood on it. We sold it for 2k to a collector.
Then I realized he shot her several times and she is now suing him. And he fucking deserves it for being a horrible fucking shot.
Sorry but if you shoot someone "several times" and they live to sue you OR testify against you... .well you earned it.
If I ever have to draw my gun and actually pull the trigger. ....that person will not be getting up. They wont even be in one peice.
I think the guy is a psycho & if someone burned his house down, it'd serve him right.
He deserves the retribution that's coming to him.
Fucking guy moves into a neighbourhood and makes his presence feel felt by putting up Nazi Flags.
It's akin to someone moving into a place, not knowing his neighbors and putting up Gay Pride flags in a neighborhood full of Christian fundamentalists.
This is going to get interesting. For starters, the way the law is written... you can’t use deadly force to protect property. You can only use deadly force if your life is in danger and then the burden of proof is on you to prove that it was.
Interesting is that she was an Aryan type person just like him.
Blonde, fair skinned blue eyed.
Wasn't a Black person or minority who took his flag.
But instead of allying hersef with his beliefs she committed an act of defiance.
So it must have offended her enough to do what she did.
Well that is the issue.
We live in a diverse, supposedly free country.
People really need to learn to leave other people alone.
Now shes severely injured. Could have died. For what? It was a stupid decision.
You dont run up on someone's house like that. You dont know that person, no clue what they are capable of, and you have no right to be there.
No matter what happens, whether he goes to prison or she wins the lawsuit, this entire situation was completely avoidable had people just minded their own business.
I would say the same thing in the case of it being an LGBTQ pride flag in a fundie Christian neighborhood.
People are becoming entitled, controlling and ironically nazi-ish.
If people had ignored this, he likely would have eventually took them down.
It isnt illegal here to fly offensive flags. All he did was butthurt people who could have chosen to simply ignore it.
I'm not saying it's fine that he shot her, but she wouldnt have almost died if she stayed the hell away from a strangers property. Shes likely going to suffer injuries for the rest of her life, all because she felt the need to go fuck with some random person.
Sure it sucks he chose to fly something like that but our liberties are far more important then anyones feelings. And....its plain stupid to harrass and provoke a stranger in his home. Nothing good EVER comes from doing things like that.
Burning down the house would not "serve" anyone. You just put the neighbors at risk and in a dangerous situation. How is endangering the community going to help? That would make everything worse. Destroying communities and housing, possibly catching the neighbors homes on fire, or possibly seriously injuring or killing someone is really NOT the answer.
Harassing people is not the way to make any positive changes. You cant force people to do anything. This shit just escalates violence.
I was always taught if you cannot help, do not do harm. And this did harm.
We need more people like Daryl Davis.
