“It has not been released whether Thomas has a criminal record or if he was on probation or out on bail at the time of the incident.”

Neck tats, shooting someone in that manner in public…. I’m gonna take a leap and say he’s got a rap sheet several pages long. Black Lives Madder and madder and madder.

If that is how much a life means to this thug then the same consideration should be taken with him not excluding whatever means of suffering the family of the victim thinks are appropriate before putting that rabid varmint to sleep.
In this case I favor islamic law of retribution.
our legal system is a joke and corrupted by political bs.

We are approaching the point where the law enforcement community is a net harm to society.

They can't do anything about the criminals because of the revolving door in the courts, but they do prevent the rest of us from taking out the trash ourselves.

Imagine if the garbage man just left all your garbage by the curb, but they also forced all the landfills to not allow anyone to drop off their own garbage either....

The worst is yet to come in America's cities. This is just another marker on the way to societal collapse. I feel sorry for the people that cannot move out of cities for one reason or another. But anyone who has the means to do so and does not is simply blind to the coming storm.

That is so true and best analogy I heard so far.

The entirely of the situation is sickening. First, how could anyone of good moral character just stand by and video the whole thing. Second, and what would be relatable to us who carry, and is even more sickening, is the fact that IF YOU INTERVENED AND SHOT THE SHOOTER YOU WOULD LIKELY BE IN JAIL IN THIS STATE. I generally believe 99% of the time that I will not get involved in 3rd party encounters ( to risky without knowing the circumstances) that if there was ever a time to do it, it would have been this time. So fucked up.

Actually I think if you aren't going to intervene, taking a video of the incident is a smart thing. I do however believe that releasing it yourself is not a good thing.
Definitely takes out any ambiguity of indent in this instance.

Agreed. With the CCIA in place I have said the only place I will take action if I or my family aren’t in direct harm is at my church. In this case it was so cut and dry that even if this guy was a cop he would be a murderer you could take action. This is pretty gross. I’ve even gone so far as to say if I’m out walking with my wife and a neighbor needs help lifting or moving something I will refuse because I could get in trouble. My dad got mad but I said what do you want me to do?

While I usually agree with you the scenario of helping a neighbor lift something is a bit far fetched.

I agree, but any attorney will find a way to twist any scenario to thier benefit. The immediate situation is on camera, but an attorney could say "well X occurred before the video began ".
