YUGE meltdown at Seattle WA

[verneforchat 139]

Major meltdown of the right or alt+right, whoever you prefer to blame, resulting in SHOOTING a protester at UW. The protester was protesting (exercising free speech) against Milo Whatshisnamepoulos.

 

Another UW professor doxxed, threatened after Milo protests.

I guess the right ain't tolerant right either. 

Or it could be that there extremists on either side?

The first story sounds more like self defense to me.

Sounds like king county also believes it was self defense since they released the shooter because they believe he poses no threat to public safety.

The Ft Lauderdale shooter was also not detained because he may have posed no threat to public safety.

We all know how that turned out.

 

It may have very well been in self dense, but the news article does not say if the man shot had a gun as well. Self defense shooting against an unarmed man?

Can we take a step back for a moment and say "Awwww" over the fact that the dude shot wants to just have a "dialogue" with the guy who shot him

yeah that was quite a deviation from the norm. Perhaps the dialogue may include discussion of medical bills? 

I wonder why they had guns there in the first place, i thought UW campus forbade guns?

It just seemed very "left leaning" of the guy. "Hey man can we just talk about it?" while the dude on the right brought a gun. I could see it play out in cartoon form.

I am sure there is more to the story. By all means the guy must have been threatened and shot at people.

The only reason why I posted these links because some 'people' insisted that it is only the 'tolerant left' that are capable of violence compared to the 'innocent radical right".

That's the way I see it too.

Is there a rule that states using a gun for self defense is only allowed when one is threatened with a gun?

Being armed or unarmed is irrelevant. And there is a "rule" in the form of an RCW governing self defense in Washington state. RCW = Revised Code of Washington. RCW 9A.16.020 to be more specific.

That would be applicable here if it was a case of self defense. The shooter has not confirmed that yet, nor the police. Do you have any source confirming it was self defense?

 

The doxxing however was not self defense and still represents a danger hence the extreme bans on doxxing forums and websites.

I think people saying the first article is self defense are similarly judging a little quick. The article actually doesn't really provide much information. It doesn't even say that the shooter is claiming self defense. It says he was surrounded by protesters. Is there any evidence that they were violent? Just having lots of protesters around doesn't necessarily mean it was self defense if there were no actual threats to him. We need more information. It seems like no charges will be placed though, as long as there is a "dialogue" or however the victim put it. Maybe they'll sit around a fireplace and play guitar.
