According to his daughter via Facebook...
"Love you always Dad....❤
"See ya next time I see ya" 😘
January 3, 1948 - May 11, 2022 😢💔"
For those of you who may be unaware, Randy Weaver was involved in a stand-off with federal agents in 1992. Several members of his family were killed, as was their family dog...all because he didn't appear in court. RIP.
Yeah, you can be critical of that, but not of the shooting itself.
"sure they told him impossible commands but it was justified when they tried to murder him"
antonio sure has some pure shitlib takes, i wonder what he said about BLM
You caught me, I actually support BLM for... opposing their police brutality narrattive.
I hate the left more than is healthy, but I actually agree with AoV here. You can't reach for your waistband while cops have guns trained on you. That was the most objectively wrong move he could have made at that time. People fixate on the simon says bullshit, but that had absolutely nothing to do with the shooting. He wasn't shot because he guessed wrong, he was shot because he reached for his waistband.
This may be hard to grasp, but putting someone in a situation where they are in utter terror and panic because you keep fucking with their heads might lead to them being very impaired in decision making and in no way suddenly justifies your response to them.
Were they in the right to shoot based on his action? Yeah, probably. But they still held literally all of the blame for creating the situation through their own incompetence. The Simon Says bullshit has everything to do with the shooting.
"His actions weren't his fault because cops are scary"
Have you ever been so anti-cop that you started talking like a Redditor?
That is the stupidest argument I have ever heard. Let me help you out here. There is no threat condition that warrants lethal force for reaching towards his pants. There was no visible threat, no reason to have weapons drawn, and no reason for any of what happened to occur. TO JUSTIFY A KILLING YOU HAVE TO PROVE 1. OPPORTUNITY 2. CAPABILITY AND 3. INTENT TO KILL YOU. There was no conditions met and every single cop involved should have been tried and at the very least jailed.
Imagine thinking I'd keep reading after your sneed-filled first sentence
No sperg for me, thanks 👍
