A man was dragged from his car by enraged bystanders and shot after he plowed a vehicle into a crowd in Los Angeles, leaving seven people critically injured and at least 23 others hurt outside a nightclub early Saturday morning, police said.
Cameras in the area are still being canvassed, but the incident appears to have been intentional, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Two law enforcement sources familiar with the situation said the suspect was kicked out of the venue for being intoxicated and disruptive.
It’s not a choice I’d make, but I’m not going to feel bad for the guy who got shot, or worry about the shooter overmuch. Like the dude will probably get caught and prosecuted but if they investigated, found no history of violence, and decided not to prosecute (unlikely), I’d shrug and not give it a second thought.
I never said I feed bad for they guy who got shot, he obviously did a despicable act and deserves everything the law has coming for him and using deadly force to stop him was also justified. What is not justified is using deadly force in revenge when the situation is already under control, that’s lawless behavior and I don’t want anyone who thinks they can randomly decide to play judge and executioner to own a gun, sorry.
For sure. I didn’t downvote. Was just trying to stake a nuanced position.
