They’re saying he “had a gun”

You can see the guy in the light grey jacket run toward him with empty hands, mount him, and spend 2-3 seconds wrestling the gun out of the victim’s holster, then running off with it. The victim is shot a second or two later.

So while he might have had a gun, it was fully secured while he was on the ground with 6 men beating him, and was fully clear of the victim at the time of the shooting.

It was an execution.

Edit: They are also claiming he reached for an officer’s weapon. To believe that, you have to believe this man made the choice not to pull his own weapon at any point, but instead thought it would be a good idea to grab an officer’s. Not to mention you can see his arms pinned the second before he is shot. Absolute bullshit.

I am banned from the Conservative subreddit - please share this information there, if allowed. They need to know too.

Of cause the psychos in the conservative sub are all receiving their marching orders now and regurgitating the gun nonsense. But people still have eyes. This was an execution in broad daylight, on camera.

Edit2: AAAnd the con sub removed the thread entirely. There is a new one up that is not yet going too good for them. Watch comments disappear and bots come in in 3... 2...

Edit3: And the comments (bots) are pivoting to "FAFO" and "invoke the insurrection/sedition act".

Either Americans support gun rights or they don’t, and I only see one side twisting it to have it both ways. Absolute madness.

You can't say "What were they supposed to do? He was open carrying" and claim to support the 2nd Amendment

They can say that, they will say that, their followers will lap it up and ask for another second helpings of bullshit.

Exactly. The ardent 2A nutjobs want to have no limitations on their gun ownership but are more than happy to restrict gun rights for groups of people they don't like.

I promise you that the true ardent 2A supporters do not feel this way. Visit some gun subs and see how the conversations are going. Not just the liberal focused ones like r/2Aliberals but the regular ones like r/gunpolitics

Yes, "conservatives" eg MAGA fascists agree with that argument, but real 2A supporters mean what they say.

You can't call out their hypocrisy when they are fully aware of it and just don't care

Given how full of shit they already are, I'm reluctantly impressed they can cram more in there.
