Self defense shooting in NM during protests being spun.

Look closer at the pictures. I was thinking knife too. But looks to me like he has something in both hands and a wire is connecting them.

I would have said knife and sheath. In any probable combination, the damn near 40 year old Scott Williams was a threat. It is being said that his deleted social media confirmed he was a violent anarchist who was not at his first rodeo. If that is the case, it will be interesting if it would be allowed to be submitted as defense evidence at a trial.

Did the guy pull a knife or not? If the Guy pulled the knife, Game over , Thanks for playing.

In the confusion of a fight could it be mistaken for knife?

It is interesting that Scott Williams, whose family commented he was a long time activist and agitator who "devoted his life to seeking equality and justice for all," had a lawyer before he got to the hospital.

It looks loke the "victim" lawyered up before the shooter.

Scott Williams' lawyer is none other than the ACLU legal director, Planned Parenthood Counsel, and "civil rights" activist Attorney Laura Schauer Ives.

His aggressive action before this yanking that woman onto the ground won't play well in court, but here he is being chased down the street, put on the ground, and outnumbered and somebody hits him with a skateboard. I still think it's a good shoot. As mentioned don't bring a skateboard to a gun fight. They wanted at the very least to get him unconscious, and that's a dangerous game.

In my view, if you're carrying a gun and someone tries to "knock you out", that escalates to using deadly force. If I'm unconscious I no longer have control of that weapon and it can be used against me or others. I hope the police/DA would see it that way too. If not, I'll be judged by 12.

I think so too. And I think that woman gave the first point of "violence" because blocking somebody is an illegal act as well, so I am not sure the crowd had any legal right to hold him (I have no idea, maybe they did in that state). If they didn't, this is pretty clear cut self-defense to me.

My sister is like the guys on that site.

She just believes the one sided narrative and pointing out any facts that contradict it just enrages her.

She will see this and firmly believe that this guy just showed up and took a shot at someone because he wanted to kill some black people.

It looks like the initial knee jerk charges against self defense shooter Stephen Bacca have been dropped after the videos showing the attack, videos showing Scott Williams with the skateboard and apparent knife, knives found at the scene, and other undisclosed weapons found at the scene.

Many of us here predicted he would be charged.

A bunch of us talked about this incident at work today, all agreed that charges would be dropped.

So i got a call past night and apparently an old acquaintance of mine was part of that militia and was there. He called my other friend who is a lawyer/excop to tell him about what happened.

Heres what he said.

The protesters were attacking everyone and threatening them with skateboards and a pickaxe. Females were punching at blue shirt guy. The blue shirt guy was not part of the militia. Things got out of hand they began beating the blue shirt guy and chased him. Guy shoots skateboard guy . Militia detains the guy at gunpoint untill police came.
As soon as they were brought to police station police took cuffs off them and said they would make sure they got their guns back in three days.
The shooter was arrested but he didn't know anything more then that.

Police were very in favor of militia being there.
This was told to me second hand so i may have not got every detail correct.

I had read that the police description over the radio as heavily armed friendlies.

How is this possible? I heard he unloaded multiple clips into a peaceful crowd of protesters.

Anyway, who else saw Val Kilmer there? If you've watched Heat you don't throw down against Val Kilmer.

And not one Hawaiian shirt to be found
