| White tears helped a killer walk. |
If there was a hell for some people.
The state of Florida has this stupid law called "Stand Your Ground." It allows tiny dick motherfuckers to use deadly force if they feel that a threat is imminent. They use this as a ground for lawful murder.
I think I've reported this some time ago. This happened in 2014. It took eight years for a miscarriage of justice. A white man who was a former cop goes home after he was found not guilty of murdering a man inside a Tampa area movie theater. Some disgraceful shit, right.
It was sparked over the victim texting during the movie previews. The old man got upset and started it. The victim threw popcorn at him and that's when the guy pulled out his firearm and shot him in the chest.
The victim died and the dirty cop was held on a hefty bond. The trial was scheduled to happen in 2020 but the pandemic kind of stalled it.
So the old man, 79 was charged with second-degree murder after he gunned down, 43-year old Chad Oulson during a screening of "Lone Survivor."
The old bastard claimed that he felt threatened by this "monster" of a man standing towards him. He believed his life was in danger. So he brought a firearm into a movie theater.
Prosecutors couldn't figure out how to go at it. That law does allow reasonable threat and deadly force to be justified. The fact that the shooter had a firearm inside a movie theater should have convinced a jury to find him guilty.
Oulson's widow who was also injured watched the trial and felt that it was a miscarriage of justice.

| No justice for Chad Oulson. |
Judge Susan Barthle told the jury late Thursday they should be able to begin deliberations on Friday.
The shooter spent hours on the witness stand on Thursday, telling a Pasco County jury about his career in law enforcement and the day he shot Oulson in the theater.
The court let this fool tell his story about him establishing the SWAT team for the Tampa Police Department and ended his career as the head of security for Busch Gardens.
He told the jury he had never drawn his weapon and shot anyone in his years of service as a police officer and says he never encountered rage from anyone the way he did from Oulson the day of the shooting.
The shooting had gone to the theater that day with his wife and they planned to meet their son.
Oulson had gone to the theater that day with his wife Nicole to see the movie as well. Reeves told the jury, he noticed Oulson was on his cell phone soon after walking into the theater.
“It was shining in my face,” said the shooter who told the jury he didn’t say anything about the cell phone at first. “I waited to see if he would put it away to see if he was interested in what was on the screen or not and it never went away.”
The shooter told the jury he finally leaned over to say something after an announcement played on the screen, telling guests to put away their phones.
“I leaned over and requested that he turn his phone off. Saying, would you mind turning your phone off sir,” the shooter said.

| Nicole Oulson shocked the court let that killer walk. |
Nicole Oulson testified about the same moment earlier in the trial saying the shooter's tone was rude and demanding. The shooter says Chad Oulson became enraged.
“I decided that if I couldn’t get him to turn it off that it was between him in the theater because they are the ones who said you can’t use one, it wasn’t between him and I,” said the shooter..
He then walked out of the theater to tell a manager and when he returned he says Oulson grew even angrier.
“I’m sitting down in a completely defenseless position,” said the shooter.
He says Oulson threw his cell phone and hit him in the face and when he started to come at him, the shooter fired a single shot.
“At some point, I made a decision that I had no alternative. In my opinion, he was completely out of control, he’s not settling down and his wife is trying to hold him back,” said the shooter.
On cross-examination, Assistant State Attorney Scott Rosenwasser pointed out inconsistencies in the shooter's statements.”
You’re testifying that a 6 foot 4 Chad Oulson, who is full of rage, is virtually on top of you and he punches you and hits you hard with a cell phone, so much so that you’re dazed and you are easily bruised, yet, there is not a single mark on your face,” said Rosenwasser.
Thes shooter maintains Oulson did hit him in the face with his phone and there was a mark on his face.
The prosecutor told jurors during closing arguments that the shooter killed Oulson because he threw popcorn in his face during the confrontation, angering him because it violated his self-image as an “alpha male.”
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth. When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history.
