I wanted to jump out of planes, and I was getting really tired of the cops bothering me every time I killed someone, so Airborne it was, for me.More time I spent in the Army, the more I thought I should've joined the Navy.Where, EXACTLY, does the law state he must be hunting? Cite the statute.
Either way, it is not self-defense to cross state borders, take an assault rifle from somebody, then to go to a riot to attempt to enforce peace, as a minor.
No, but defending yourself from a pack of feral thugs (at least three with serious criminal records) is self-defense!
Sad, a boy takes a loaded assault rifle to a riot and has the intent to use it. Is that self-defense? Putting yourself in a situation where you must kill people to escape? Claiming, you are there to protect people? Is that still self-defense, or is it vigilantism.
The kid is in jail facing two murder charges and one attempted murder charges.
Even if the kid gets off, he is suffering, even if he wins, he loses. I would never hire him for a job, certainly not one in law enforcement. I have to wonder if the kid is all there mentally.
Most kids who get sucked into the police/military mentality aren't. They're usually maladjusted and looking for revenge.
Dblack, you're an idiot who has obviously never served in the military. No, the reason most of the people I knew in the military joined was because they were patriots, because their family had a history of service, or, like me, they wanted to travel and figured that the military was the best way to accomplish that. Over the 20 years I was in the Navy, I've been to 26 different countries and 49 different states, only missing Alaska. And yes, there are screenings that a person has to pass in order to enlist. Dunno about the police, but the military checks their people.
You know, when I first started checking out the various services, I chose the Navy for very good reasons.
Didn't want to join the Air Force, because I grew up in an Air Force town (Great Falls MT, where Malmstrom AFB is located), and was biased against them.
Didn't want to join the Marines, because I didn't want to become a bullet sponge.
Didn't join the Army, because growing up in Montana, camping as a hobby was okay, but camping as a lifestyle left much to be desired.
I joined the Navy because it afforded the best chance to see lots of different places, and the best part? You took your house with you when you deployed. The only times I had to do without for air conditioning or a hot meal was when we were doing battle drills. And, like I said, it afforded me the chance to visit lots of places I would have never gone to if I hadn't enlisted.
Older I got, the more I wanted to travel to some countries that weren't on fire, and maybe stay someplace that wasn't surrounded by concertina wire.
I don't regret joining, but I probably shouldn't have kept reenlisting.
