Bastards. They just don't understand that they aren't hurting The Man or anything like that. They are hurting friends and neighbors.
I think they're too stupid and/ or self absorbed to even realise - there is the video I linked on Facebook with a woman making that point... which is something they should already know anyway.

Given what has been reported

So, did the original suspect have a gun/fire bullets?

Had a gun, didn't fire

Not actually true

Seems it isn't exactly but I'm not sure your reply is 100% true either

There's no evidence he didn't fire? Imagine that.

He's saying the evidence available is inconclusive either way.

There are various proofs

True, but if tests are inconclusive rather than merely incomplete those proofs may not be available.

I do see why it matters if he fired or not

So the death penalty is a deterrent for the crimes it doesn't apply to, but not for those it does?
