    "A man was shot and seriously wounded at the University of Washington Friday night outside a building where Milo Yiannopoulos, the Breitbart writer who has been inflaming campuses with his comments about race and gender, was speaking. The shooting victim is in the hospital. The names of the man who was shot and the shooter have not been released, and the university said it could not comment on whether they have any connections to the institution."

    A Trump supporter was getting physically assaulted and shot one of them in the stomach. I think it's a lucky thing for this guy to have ignored the no gun zone, who know how badly he may have been hurt otherwise.

    Should this guy have been charged with a crime, or no?

    Here's cell phone video of the incident.

    The fundamental right to self defense should override oppressive liberal legislation, so no charges should even exist in circumstances such as this...

    Don't know? I'd advise pepper spray, multiple magnum size and travel with like minded people for back up. Don't get in the crowd, use a megaphone stay on the outside. One against the crowd is hard.

    But why even get into this mess? Avoidance is the best defense.

    It was a country founded upon people with different beliefs, now its basically a psychological war 24/7. Rational discussion went away a long time ago. He should be able to be there with out being assaulted, but we can't have that. No charges, he protected himself from a mob, if that isn't one of the main reasons to own firearms, I don't know what is.

    The mob mentality spins out of control extremely rapidly. Anyone that has taken a psychology 101 course with a half decent professor knows that. If he wouldn't have done this it would have just gotten far worse. And pepper spray just pisses some people off, so ya know, I'm going with the firearm.

    I think for the first time ever I will purchase a firearm and use it to protect my rights. I can't wait until the next time I feel threatened when an anti-abortion protester screams bible verses in my girlfriend's face. :smoking:

    Ready to meet your personal savior? :evil:

    he was in liberal land where there is no second amendment freedom, so he will have to be charged since the law of the land is different there.

    A liberal buying a gun with no idea how to use it. Yeah, that sounds stable.

    Watch the shooter's body language, he was in avoidance until he was being hit multiple times. Not just one time, not after the very first hit.

    I think he did his due diligence.

    As for why he was there I don't know yet, but my first guess would be that he was trying to attend Milo's event.

    Are you expecting conservatives to tell you not to exercise your Constitutional rights? If you simply go off on a liberal induced rampage you will have long since stopped exercising your rights and can be expected to face punishment for it, possibly immediate and fatal punishment if others around you are also exercising their Constitutional rights...

    What a coward. Learn how to defend yourself. Please let's hear the defense for firing a gun into a packed crowd.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Right because conservatives are the only ones who know how to operate firearms. Keep telling yourself that.

    Somebody saying something mean to your girlfriend at Planned Parenthood isn't a valid reason to kill somebody.

    Happy to see you have finally seen the light and now choose to take your personal safety seriously, as well as those you love. However, since you are a new comer, I'll let you know something very important.

    You will be scrutinized by a grand jury and either charged with a crime or no billed depending solely on whether or not you can convince the grand jury that your life/health, or your gf's in this case, was truly in danger.

    With great power, comes great responsibility.

    Welcome aboard! :)

    Oh yes it is, especially using the stand my ground logic. Screaming in her face is threatening and I won't stand for it.

    When the packed crowd turns rabid sometimes putting down members of the pack is the only solution...

    Oh, and how would you defend yourself against a mob?

    Conservatives are the only ones whose ideology doesn't preclude them from operating a firearm. Of course, there are a lot of liberal hypocrites who use guns while advocating against gun ownership.

    Nope, not a valid reason to kill someone. You do that and you'll do life. Probably a good thing.

    If some evangelical lunatic threatens my girlfriend by shouting at her and getting in her face, I will open fire in self defense. Shouting up close is considered threatening, and if I can kill someone who threatens me or my family, I will do so. It's legal, and called stand your ground.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Yes it is, according to the LAW, all I have to feel is threatened, and have the perpetrator get up in my personal space.
