"Mustang .380 Single Action"

[Stinky The Clown]

SO THE FUCK WHAT?????

Small gun easily concealed is clear enough.

Small gun suitable for an ankle holster is clear enough.

Small pistol is good enough.

How is the gun porn description germane to the discussion of Keith Scott's murder by the Charlotte PD?

Oh, I know. Showing one's gun humper creds, right?

A man is dead at the hands of the police. Again, the dead man is black. Again, the dead man is innocent. Again, it was the WRONG man.

And someone thinks it is necessary to tell us all that it was a Mustang .380 single action.









Geezusfukkingkerist. Please just go away.

1. Gun nuts are very worried about their equipment size.

Very.

[longship]

2. Especially when it is small in size and calibre.

Plus, it is easily concealed!

[jmg257]

13. Yep - and highly significant in getting this poor PoC killed. nt

[Nuclear Unicorn]

17. Is that your opinion of Keith Scott?

[hack89]

3. Get a grip

One single post in a thread is enough to send you off kilter like this?

[Duckhunter935]

8. I hope he does not ever decide to get a weapon.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. He holds gun owners in low regard. He holds gun humpers in VERY low regard.

[Duckhunter935]

21. I guess we are different

I respect everyone's right to do a legal activity. However if you abuse that right, you should be accountable for that.

[B2G]

22. ie, he holds Keith Scott in VERY low regard.

Gotcha.

[jmg257]

23. Cops too since he was freaking out over the cops throwing down a gun, planting a gun,

or gloves, or...something.

Bad shoot is a bad shoot, tossing down a gun is another.

[Stinky The Clown]

25. And I'm not "freaking out". I am fucking pissed.

Big difference.

[jmg257]

27. Yes - completely understandable. nt

[Stinky The Clown]

24. No gotcha. What I said holds true.

But no matter what, he didn't deserve to be murdered.

Gotcha.

[pipoman]

4. It is a detail. WTF difference does it make?

Of all things to go off about...this is an odd concern...

[DrDan]

11. yep - a tad ott over a poster's added info

[X_Digger]

59. I believe he planted his flag over the narrative of a 'drop gun', so this is diversionary grooming.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

5. Details are helpful to complete the picture.

Disclaimer: It is absolutely not necessary to read this.

I hope the details of the video reveal whether the gun was in Scott's hand, or planted by the police. That sort of gun-humping detail seems to be somewhat lacking.

Is it necessary to point out that the hammer is cocked and the thumb safety is off? The gun's state of readiness may or may not be a helpful detail. It might have an impact on a gun-humping cop's action.

If the shooting goes to trial, the jurors will have their minds numbed by incredible detail, endlessly repeated.

[citood]

6. Reasons the model may be important

- Perhaps the victim was known to own this model

- Perhaps one of the cops was known to own this model

- The term single action and the position of the hammer impacts how imminently lethal the gun was

Its a piece of information...no big deal.

[Duckhunter935]

7. It is not gun porn

It is a relevant fact of the make and model of the weapon found at the scene.

[pintobean]

9. Starting a thread about it is gun porn.

Noting the fact in a thread about the gun is not.

[jmg257]

10. Ha don't forget the cocked and unLocked - but possibly with out a magazine.

The police said it was loaded, might have been - but IF in that case, then with 1 round. Small matter really and partly conjecture - though seems silly to carry a gun loaded with only 1 round.

The discussion in that thread was about the gun involved, and speculation about its size {vs the ankle holster), and even type {"glock-like" was mentioned)...the name also happened to be clearly labeled on its side.

Sorry knowing what it was that was supposedly so important to getting Scott killed got you so upset.

[tonyt53]

51. I saw my elementary school janitor kill his wife with a .22 caliber pistol. One shot.

[jmg257]

52. Yep - .380 would do it too. For me, a 1 round pistol wouldn't be worth getting killed over.

[Lee-Lee]

12. Why do facts make you so disturbed?

FWIW mentioning the model actually helps tie the clues together. There is footage of him with an exposed ankle holster with the pants leg above it as is typical for someone who has just drawn from such a holster, and the gun is one that is small enough to fit into such a holster.

Had it been a larger pistol that couldn't be carried in an ankle holster that would raise questions. But it fits.

I know the fact that it's a pistol that can be carried in an ankle holster and there is footage of him wearing an ankle holster makes it much harder to try and believe the nonsense conspiracy theories about police planting the gun- facts tend to always debunk such conspiracy theories- but get a grip and deal with it instead of going into a rage when presented with facts that you don't like.

[usedtobedemgurl]

14. They should be discussing Scott's brain injury...

the wife shouts out he has TBI and just took meds for it. When someone has a brain injury, you act differently with the shouting which can and will just shut him down. His wife said he was no threat. His wife warned his brain in impaired. This did not have to happen.

[Lee-Lee]

16. She also shouted he didn't have a gun and they could see he did

So she didn't exactly have any credibility or give them any reason to trust her.

In fact have we actually see evidence of the TBI being real, or was that as false as the claims he didn't have a gun.

[usedtobedemgurl]

18. She said the TBI before he was killed....

why would she lie? I see you have made up your mind about the gun and it would appear that you do not care he may have had TBI and that that would call for a different protocol which the cops did not observe. Namaste to you and I hope you find your path in life.

[ileus]

31. They never heard a word she said....tunnel vision in the heat of the moment I'm sure.

Even when watching the body cam footage you don't hear her screaming.




This shooting was so bleeped up in so many ways, like so many we've seen the past few years. Somethings got to change in the way LEO's respond to situations like this.


The video I watched even armed he didn't seem to be a threat that needed to be put down.

[tonyt53]

54. Somebody appears out of nowhere with a gun for no reason, and all attention goes there.

Their eyes were on Scott and the gun. Hard to listen to someone over to the side with that going on. Never had a gun pointed at ya, huh?

It's not that she is lying. She is trying to get him out alive, but he made the wrong choice. The much larger question is why did Scott react to the cops in the manner that he did? They weren't there for him. The pot? A fine. Was he a felon (I have no idea)? If so, then the gum would have caused him a problem when they arrested him for the pot. But if he told them about it, them since they were there for somebody else, they might have simply taken the gun and he would have had the pot possession issue and that was it.

[X_Digger]

60. Yes, he was a felon in possession. Was probably facing some serious time. n/t

[Lee-Lee]

63. He would have faced felon in possession and likely habitual felon

Given his prior history he was likely facing several more years for the drug posession and firearm charges, and more if the prosecution added habitual felon.

[Jim Beard]

19. Why did they demand he get out of the car? What was the problem? The pistol grip where the magazine

is inserted appears to be dark looking at the base of the grip. Was he really a threat? He had many opportunities to shoot the cops. I ask once again, what was the hurry?

[rumdude]

33. If he had a brain injury

He probably shouldn't have been holstered up with a gun, eh?

[Nuclear Unicorn]

20. Keep in mind all your previous "Melt them down!" rants would include this type of gun.

And your "Melt them down!" rants would effect those who have never been convicted of a violent crime.

[Stinky The Clown]

26. I still subscribe to "Melt 'em Down"

Every last fucking gun there is.

Every

last

One

[Nuclear Unicorn]

38. Yeah? Well, you'll need the police for that. Including the ones who shot Mr. Scott.

[MicaelS]

53. Including ones used to guard POTUS?

Or HRC? You want their USSS details to be disarmed? Because if you do you sound just like Trump.

[ileus]

28. The colt is a nice collectors piece, but an LCP is the better 380.

IMHO the colt is way too heavy for an ankle holster of any type. Actually for me any ankle holster is junk...just pocket carry instead.

[Stinky The Clown]

30. Tweak

I hear it has a righteous framodazzle and is superior in the kitoochi department too.

Yup, quite a piece.

[ileus]

36. I din't know what that means...

but the colt is heavy and the LCP makes a much better conceal carry option.


Sure the colt has a great single action trigger and it's weight makes for a more enjoyable shooting experience, but those positives are out weighed by the LCPs size and weight for conceal carry.

There's nothing wrong with being technical and sharing real world experience.

[Rex]

29. You mean the gun the cops planted?

Gee...the gun must be invisible in this picture.

[Stinky The Clown]

32. I see it is that picture.

If you don't, you're not following the story.

[Rex]

34. You see a gun in that picture?

There are five lights, do not tell me you only see four.

[pintobean]

35. It's to the right of the left foot

of the cop in red.
You posted a lot in the thread that makes that quite clear.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=8185880

[Rex]

37. So it moved?

Please, like you have a leg to stand on. You have zero cred when it comes to this topic. Zero.

[Lee-Lee]

40. It's standard procedure to scoot a gun away from an injured suspect

Basic scene safety 101.

[Rex]

41. Riiggghttt...keep pretending the cops did nothing wrong.

SO how was he going to reach the gun 10 feet away from him and also...gee...he is shot an down on the ground with officers over him.

Keep digging, it is amusing watching you defend these guys and losing.

[pintobean]

42. The gun didn't move

the guy in red, the camera angle, and your goal posts all moved. The gun is in the same spot in both of those images.

[Rex]

43. Okay, so now you just pretend reality from two different points are the same.

You are so funny.

[pintobean]

44. I gave you way too much credit

in a recent comment on another site.

[Rex]

45. Well you are almost always wrong, so there is that.

Thanks for admitting to it, I bet that was the hardest thing you've ever done.

[B2G]

46. One more time. That's a GLOVE, not a gun. Nt

[jmg257]

48. Not so sure about that - sure looks like a gun to me. And its in the location where the object 1st

shows up in the wife's video, and where the red cop stands.

[B2G]

49. The cop was standing over it closer to the truck

[jmg257]

50. Dont agree, the shadow from the truck is right there, as is shadow to left & white stuff on pavement

?

[tonyt53]

55. Many police depts. it is standard procedure to put one cop in charge of guarding the weapon.

I'm no gun nut and haven't fired one in about 40 years, but I know one when I see one. That is a pistol at the inner left foot of the cop.

[jmg257]

56. He was very adamant about standing over it. Least till the crime scene tape is up.

You can see him very deliberately step to it in the wife's video, after grabbing the 1st pair of dropped gloves.

[Eleanors38]

39. You should clarify who is the "gun humper," here. Scott? We don't know if he had one...

the reasons for his purported carry are not known. Seems inappropriate to go after people you despise, usng a possible crime for the reason.

[MFM008]

47. But he had POT!!!!!

Thats totally legal in our state.
Everything that can go wrong did.

[mwrguy]

57. Gun humpers gonna hump guns

[aikoaiko]

58. I didn't know it was single action. Thanks for the info, Stinky.

If it weren't for your OP I wouldn't know.

[Stinky The Clown]

61. Now you do

Having fun?

[aikoaiko]

62. Sure. I don't even know what OP you're referencing.

So why not why not participate as I can.
