When an unstoppable no-knock warrant meets an immovable stand-your-ground state.
If you can spend months in jail and lose your job for exercising your right to own firearms, then you don’t have a right to own firearms.
Did she produce any good cops?
Edit: ‘attempted murder’…I guess not
They seriously charged her for having 0.07g of weed in her room?
Stacking it with horse shit drug charges is beyond vile. Fuck that department.
She unloaded a full mag blindly into the dark, without knowing who or where the intruders were.
The raid was unjustified, but this woman is exactly the kind of dangerous, careless gun owner who makes others look bad. She doesn’t even know how to reload the gun?!?! She has NO business having one.
Seems like the state disagrees, she has every right having a gun and doing exactly that.
The issue was that it was the unannounced police on the receiving side, and they don’t like being shot at.
Florida isn’t exactly known for being reasonable or logical. I’m talking from a responsible owner’s perspective.
Yep, they should have announced it. And even before that, they should have verified the fucking info.
While I absolutely agree with you, this is the reality of no-knock raids. Police can either stay safe when violating people’s right to privacy, or they can stay safe by clearly and repeatedly announcing themselves before entering.
It’s definitely a catch-22, but in an ideal, non-dystopian world, we wouldn’t have to worry about either side doing this.
Sounds like she has all the qualifications and gun handling discipline to be a cop
Read the article and you are spot on. She emptied a pistol, through a blackout curtain, at an unseen, unknown target. That is fucking madness. What if it was just kids fucking around?
Now if I see that curtain so much as twitch, I’m firing.
If my door explodes off the hinges, I’m firing.
Threat inside or coming in: FIRE
Threat outside: Aim and call 911
Maybe in the moment she experienced more than what we’re getting from the article?
I disagree that she shouldn’t have one, but this is her first gun and her first week owning it. There’s a steep learning and training curve ahead. If she takes it as seriously as she should.
A bunch of cops tip toeing around your house getting ready for a raid makes for a pretty unambiguous signal to your amygdala.
