(2,399 posts)You think 3 or 4 police cars arriving while some asshole mows his lawn is going to set off Armageddon? Could happen, I suppose, but don't you think that it's more likely that you get those guys at home... or even better, at work...and frog-march them off to the cop shop, that they wet themselves? The family would be mortified...
Again I ask. At what point do these assholes go too far? Negligent discharge? Firing for shock value? Shooting with no intent to kill? Shooting at somebody? Shooting and hitting someone?
Where is the line? And what is the response when shit gets real.
See... I thought pointing a rifle at a Federal officer from a place of concealment was a crime a few years ago, but I guess all that shit is out the window now. This is going to escalate, and I believe more will be hurt than if we coddle home-grown terrorist wanna-bees.
