Wow! Now it's Illegal to be a Victim!!
#13
I was always under the impression that when any citizen brandishes a firearm in public, it is appropriate to detain that citizen for questioning, just to ensure the safety of those other citizens around them.  I think police should approach and address in such cases.

But prosecutors (who seem to think they are the end of the process) demand prosecutions... and the more visible and alarming the better.

So in this case, charging the suspect with attempted murder is more sexy.  And more 'news worthy.'  Never mind that the incident seems to be over vicarious outrage about two people's in conflict on the other side of the world.

A judge needs to hear this case...  But the prosecutors 'set the framework' to make it into a 'show.'

People clash all the time.  Weapons only make those clashes overtly dangerous to anyone around them.

The bystanders in this case didn't think, the perpetrator of the attack didn't think, the person recording didn't think.  This is a case of hormones, agitation, and emotion... with no thought.

Once again, we rely on the judicial to 'evaluate'...  Where will it all end?

The end depends on the media first, the prosecutor second, and the judge third.  Ass backwards, if you ask me... in fact, the media shouldn't be in that equation at all.
