Brave Lady’s Guns Seized For Shooting Into Crowd, How Is That Even Fair?

he's just trying to help


Pop quiz: You are at your local Home Depot, hating your life because you are at your local Home Depot, when you see some loss prevention officers chasing down someone that stoled a thing from your local Home Depot. Do you:
Do nothing, because the loss prevention people are on it?
Put your leg out and trip the fleeing person as if you are in a bad sitcom?
Shoot them.
If you said (3), you are a proud Second Amendment-lovin’ Michigan-American and a goddamn hero, even if the judicial system just doesn’t understand.

Tatiana Duva-Rodriguez, who was licensed to carry a concealed weapon, said she heard a scream and feared the incident was worse than a theft. She acknowledged the shooting in the parking lot was a mistake. “I made a decision in a split second,” the 46-year-old Clarkston woman told a judge. “Maybe it was not the right one, but I was trying to help.”
. . . . .

We’d like to say it is a truth we hold self-evident that shooting INTO A CROWD OF PEOPLE is not typically how we “help” people, but we live in America so everything about guns is completely broken. Proof positive: this lady got probation. Probation. PROBATION. FOR SHOOTING INTO A CROWD OF PEOPLE AT YOUR LOCAL HOME DEPOT.

. . . . .


Thank god that although this sharpshooter lady only got probation, it at least comes with grabbin’ her guns away until 2023. Does this mean she’s learned her lesson and will now be all safe about guns and such? Nope.
“I tried to help, and I learned my lesson that I will never help anybody again,” she said after her sentencing.
Well, since your definition of “help” includes “shoot into a crowd,” we’re pretty cool with you removing yourself from the pool of helpers, lady.

1. Responsible, good person with a gun, and a concealed carry permit shoots into a crowd of people.

We defined responsibility and good person different where I grew up.

[niyad]

2. as did we.

3. I'm gonna go with #2

Because if you don't put your leg out and trip the fleeing person, they could kill your Uncle Ben, and it's hard to be Spider-Man without being bitten by a radioactive spider, and you don't look that good in Spandex anyway.

4. I'm glad at least they've taken her guns.

Probation is ridiculous though.

A miracle she didn't kill or critically injure someone.

5. Back the hell up! Before ANYONE can get a CC license, they are thoroughly trained.

So, if she shot into a crowd of people at someone suspected of stealing a roll of duct tape, then she made the correct decision.

PERIOD! END OF DISCUSSION!!!!111

6. `That's exactly what we'll see if "Everyone carried a gun!"

I'm sure MOST people would "TRY TO HELP", as we see replays of Shootout at OK Corral every day. I shudder when I hear someone say everyone in that movie theater should have been armed. Just imagine 60-100 people shooting at what they perceived to be the threat IN THE DARK!

7. exactly, how could it be effective in that situation?

There would be as many mistakes as saves.

[napi21]

8. Of course! That's my point! In face, I'd go wone step farter...

I think MOST of the injured would be other well intentioned citizens and during such a melee', the criminals would get away.

9. gun humpers, this is your poster child

this is your queen

[niyad]

10. and a tempermental queen who is stamping her feet and whining that she will never help anyone ever

again. a totally clueless twit.

[sarisataka]

11. Number 1

Is my choice.

I will not try and trip the running person. Loss prevention is not law enforcement and I do not know why they are chasing the runner. For all I know they may have some issue with the person and want to beat him.

I won't be shooting anyone until myself or a family member is facing a threat of grave bodily harm.
