The fact is is the cop did not give the guy a reasonable amount of time to follow the orders before he blasted him away.


No one in this thread has said what he did was right and doesnt' deserve consequences for his trigger happiness.

Its not illegal to answer your own door with a gun.


No one has said it is not.
It's not illegal for me to ride my bike down Siegen Lane at 5PM on a Friday either.

Yeah, it does matter. It's part of the reason why he's dead. If he isn't a dumbass and answers the door like a normal person, he's alive today. But go ahead and prove your point that you can answer the door with a gun when a cop is at the door. We can put on your gravestone that you were well within your rights.
I can go ride my bike on Siegen Lane right now. Have every right to do so. And i'd be a fricking idiot for doing so, and i can guaranfrickingtee you every single person on this site would call me a dumbass if i ended up dead b/c a car hit me.
I can also call Mike Tyson a fricking pussy if i'm ever face to face with him, and it's completely legal for me to say that to him, and if i get my arse whipped b/c of it he goes to jail, but hey i proved my point b/c i have rights.

We have our rights, but that doesn't excuse you from being a dumbass in how you chose to use them, and having your rights doesn't just automatically prevent other people from breaking the law against you when you're a lawful idiot.

You did good with that but this thread struggles with sense making.

I noticed not 1 of fantasy scenarios ends with the government killing you for exercising your rights. Seems incredibly disingenuous, at best, to more likely straight up intellectual dishonesty.

Good lord man, would you stop with the straw men. You look silly and emotional.

You're comparing riding a bike with a constitutional right.

And those rights don't excuse this equally dumbass murderer. They both fricked up, now one is dead, and the other must go to jail for the rest of his life.

Fair is fair. Who doesn't love fairness?
