I know your folks issue with hvybarrels, but in this case he sort of has a point ( if you weed through everything he's said) . at this point, looks like Deedy picked a fight.
It does appear he told Elderts something like " you wanna get shot ? " or something like "I'll shoot you. "
Wouldn't you first tell the guy "you're gonna be arrested" or "i"ll arrest you "
Of course info is very piecemeal at this point.
I don't care if Deedy planted an AA-12 on Elderts; that doesn't change the fact that the situation could easily have been deescalated by both parties, but more so by Elderts. It takes a bigger man to attempt to calm the situation down or simply leave. Instead, he chose rather to puff up his chest and play bad ass, which ended up escalating the situation and resulting in his death.
to say Eldertts should have been the bigger man is absurd in my opinion. The bigger man should have been the college educated, well-trained, firearm carrying special agent. To say the Moke should have deescalated the situation is a stretch.
Until Deedy approaches Elderts, it looks like the situation was already deescalated. This is consistent with the testimony from skinny jeans hipster dude.
Again, piecemeal. Can't wait for the rest of the trial and the defense to be presented.
And hell no, I'm not a troll. bought and sold firearms to and from members of this forum and attended 2 of the last 3 functions.
( No one's accused me but I thought I'd throw that in )
Welcome back Moosed ! Good to have you !
And to everyone, Zimmerman has his own thread.
