That didn’t stop the gun-suckers.

So what the court is saying is that if a cop is rolling up on you, you should assume that they are a lethal threat and shoot them in the face immediately, because they ain’t ever gonna be punished if they decide they want to shoot you.

It’s almost like there was a hero civil war because people couldn’t see eye to eye on the best way to view the whole individual vs institution debate.

Keith Phipps. He left that same year, so probably shouldn’t hold it against today’s AVClub.

People were never well equipped to handle nuance.
