Savannah Activist Defends family from attacker and HE gets arrested, WTH? I need your help!

[AynRandFanJG]

What happened to him? Charges dropped?

[rand2002]

Mac,

I'm fully behind you on this case, however, you should have just shot the guy. Never draw your weapon if you have any hesitation about using it. You will find it easier to defend yourself from a justified killing, than brandishing and assault charges.

[ladycaitlinsca]

kris : i have been around mack and melanie for several years.they LIVED with me and i have seen them boith intereact with nickoli and I can say THEY HAVE NEVER ABUSED HIM!!!!!!! if they had i would have POERSOINALLY called DFACS and kicked them out of my home and life!!!!!!!So it appears that you are listening to inuendo sand have never been around the child like I have.So when and IF u EVER are around him and mack and mel THEN you may talk about them,SO GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ladycaitlinsca]

cause i know what is right and what is wrong because I WAS RAISED right

mel: and we are a happy family that love adore and cherish each other

mel: like we should thank you and have a nice life signed nikolis mother

[ladycaitlinsca]

3. dylan or dillon whatever his name is has been taken from james and lauras custody by dfacs

mel: because of THEM ABUSING HIM NOT ME!!!!

mel: 4 my children are not only my life but my reason for living as all children should be to their parents and not a reason to take some one to use for revenge or to get money so they can sit on their fat lazy asses so if you so if you have anything else to say about myself or my husband abusing our child you can GO BUTT RAPE yourself cause i know what is

[ladycaitlinsca]

this is in response to kris this IS NOT the mother I am a friend who is posting this for her so DO NOT HARASS me for this. you say that i am abuseing my child. however you dont know me or anything about me 1 i have always wanted children and my son is no different even after his father raped me and then ORDERED me to get an abortion looked him straight in the eye and told him no 2. my son was given to him because I wasnt working and i didnt have a stable home 3. dylan or dillon whatever his

[kris12473]

The mother of the child and this guy continue to abuse the child, the father has custody and is only tryin to protect him. there is way more to this story and if you just listen to one side of it you are mislead. This Story is not completely true why dont you ask the father of the child for his part.. it might shed some light and truth to whats really going on.

[kris12473]

you have to know the history of this............ this is not all the truth

[Stink808]

I bet if it happened to a rich white local businessman or politician, it would have been handled much differently and towards their favor.

[patriot1775]

@Stink808 that depends on where you live

[jsh78mang]

Then do a video with the "Whole" Story.

[StrangerousSC]

I hope the powers that be realize that their decision in the Mac Williams case will set precedence in self defense law in Georgia. I hope that they drop the charges on this man... This is ludicrous!

[Tabooga65]

@StrangerousSC They do realize that it will set precedence. The anti-gun forces want bad precedence set so they can strip you of your rights.

[man4commonsense]

Either we are not getting the whole story, or this was a very bad call by law enforcement.

[funktroop3r]

Well he is black and in Georgia that can be construed as a sign of guilt.

[Tabooga65]

@funktroop3r it is not about race. It is about gun rights!

[funktroop3r]

I apologize I meant to infer it was about both.

[man4commonsense]

Did the attacker have the ABILITY to cause grave bodily harm or death? Did the attacker have the Opportunity to cause the same, and DID THE VICTIM FEEL HIS LIFE WAS IN JEOPARDY?? In addition the victim here had the presence of mind to not apply deadly force, but allowed the attacker to retreat.... A COP WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING. Jump out of your car and start swinging at a cop and see if you dont get "drawn on".

[man4commonsense]

Ralphschmedley, Are you assuming an "unarmed" man cannot pose a lethal threat. You have a God given right to defend yourself and a third party from grave bodily harm or death. Use of lethal force is absolutely warranted if your life is threatened. You backyard lawyers need to learn what rights you have as a gun owner. Whether the man was unarmed or not is not the sole pivotal aspect of legal use of force.

[SgtTes]

Exactly, and cops do kill unarmed people all the time. A couple years ago in Indiana, Muncie to be exact...google it..

[jamesgarbeth1974]

@man4commonsense

you all are not getting the whole story. Only a small part of the story is correct. I have witnesses on what happen they wrote in detail on what had happen on that day.

[NCICOK]

Branishing a firearm is illegal. If the guy pulled a gun, then pull yours. But you can not use a gun to threaten!

[decoy256]

Why not?!?! You have to wait until the 300 lb body builder beats you to a bloody pulp before you can draw a gun on him?

In addition, he wasn't pulling the gun to "threaten"... he pulled the gun to defend himself... huge difference.

[NCICOK]

Obviously you do not know the law!

[decoy256]

I am a lawyer and the "law" is what you make of it... Did you know that before "Miranda" the cops didn't have to read you your rights? Now they do. Why? Because some legislators decided they should? NO! Because someone decided to push the limits of what was then acceptable.

Abortion used to be illegal all over the place... now it's not. Why? Because of two cases: Roe and Doe.

The law is getting made all the time. So other than blind appeal to authority, what good reason do you have for this?

[NCICOK]

If you are a lawyer, you should know that a judge rules his courtroom as he/she wants. Take your camera and film in a federal courtroom and see what happens! Go on and do it and stop running your mouth...

[WMVDragonfyre]

Mack, stand your ground, DO NOT PLEAD out and one of 2 things will happen, the DA will drop it or you move on to a trial where you stand your ground in defense of your right to self defense. This guy is lucky after he assaults your gf and you that you used discretion and didn't shoot him to end the attack!

[vindivixon]

This man had every RIGHT to defend himself & family from this irrate dude that wanted to fight. That's why people have gun permits....totally legal....this guy is NOT in the wrong. More folks need to have permits to carry....lots less crime. Surprise the heck out of the criminals!

Wish more people had the balls this guy has....

[willscsg]

To all of you that have posted comments both positive and negative, Me and my little boys where in the car. My ex husband assaulted Mack this also was not the first time he assaulted Mack or myself. There has been too many times were i have called the police because of my exs threats the cops never listened and even threatened to put me in jail for reporting his continued violence. Whatever help you can give Mack will be appreciated very much

[marshsusie59]

What were the charges..He has every right to pull the gun out to protect himself..If he had; not had a gun the guy could have beat them up really bad, but the pistol stopped the fight and no one was hurt.!

[ralphschmedley]

what he did was chickenshit and probably illegal, sorry. You can't use a gun against fists.

[ronarprfct]

If you aren't the one who initiated violence, you can pull whatever you want out to respond to it.

[ralphschmedley]

Oh? And I'm sure you have statute number to back that up? So, someone pushes me around and I can machine gun him huh? Right....

[ronarprfct]

I don't have a statute because one is not needed. I am talking about what is RIGHT, not about what some pencil-pusher has said is right. People understood that for centuries and they were correct in their understanding that, if someone initiates violence against you, you have the right to not only harm them, but kill them if you choose. They forfeited their life when they initiated violence against you. You can show them mercy, but it is your RIGHTFUL choice not to.

[ralphschmedley]

OK have a nice time in jail buddy. It's called reality, ya wave a gun at an unarmed dude, go to jail. That's called reality, you werent there were ya? I see some turkey waving a gun...that's all

[centure7]

@ralphschmedley

Reality is that some people who don't have guns can beat the shit out of you until your f-ing dead... and you've got every right in the book to pull out a gun on those losers.

In reality people need to be innocent until proven guilt. You've got a lot to learn about reality, stupid fascist.

[ralphschmedley]

the guy ADMITS on video he pulled a gun on an unarmed man. But when in doubt call names.

[centure7]

@ralphschmedley

Everyone has a right to pull a gun on an unarmed man if they are getting attacked by them.

And you didn't specifically name-call but you imply people who believe in the right to self-defense don't have a grasp on reality. Yeah, we do. Self-defense is great and so is pulling a gun on an unarmed man who is going to beat the shit out of you.

[ralphschmedley]

No they dont have the "right" unless you want anarchy. Learn to FIGHT you chickenshit weaselish pimple on the ass of progress. How's THAT for name calling, pretty good if I do say so myself and I do. Go nuke a defensless country

[huttwigley]

The bigger question in my mind is WHO was defending Mac's girlfriend and her child while Mac spent the night in jail? That's brilliant! Take the "good guy" and his gun off the streets, and leave the family vulnerable to the lunatic ex! WTF!?!?

[1000hightower]

Your black Mac you lucky you didn't get killed by the cops.

[jeffmoppi]

By the way, you need to find out what exactly you're being charged with. Go to the court house and ask to see the documents. If the clerk does ask you any question except what's your name and what documents do you need, have her arrested. The file you're looking for will be missing. You need a certified copy of your file, so they can't put it in later...

[jeffmoppi]

First of all, tell your attorney that you will file bar grievances and judicial conduct complaints for every single of your right he fails to adjudicate. And one for every objection he misses. Then tell him "no deals" and have him sign that. Call Randy on the ruleoflaw radio show for details.

[Yourbadnightmare]

Mac, Contact georgiadotorg and georgiacarrydotorg they have some top firearms lawyers that are experts in this type of case. Doug King comes highly recommended, if he can't help you nobody can. Do it asap.

[Yourbadnightmare]

test, sorry I am have a hard time posting a comment

[saints1983]

before picking up another gun.

[KING5TORM1418]

It all depends on the situation because remember it is unlawful to actually take out your gun and even point at someone ..only if you are going to shoot and it has to be for self defense. If I were him I wouldnt even bother taking out my gun unless he was coming at me with a knife or he had a gun..I dont mind fist fighting because at the end of the day someone could end up with a black eye but everyone is alive.

[ronarprfct]

Actually, someone can easily die in hand to hand combat. Further, what the hell good is a gun if you can't pull it out of its holster and threaten the asshole who is attacking you with it?

[phnixlady]

Wait a while, we may all be in this young man's position. hang in.

[MaxZagar]

Was he threatened to life ? what if the other guy would have had a gun ? would he actually have used it ? How many people are dead yearly due to these kind of incidents ? Idk. guns are good for hunting, but for protection I think they generate more violence then they actually protect.

[shmutzo]

It's sounds like Mack producing the gun prevented further violence!!!

[jdpinc123]

You need to do some homework on the actual statistics Max. Because you are wrong. The criminals who use guns and go after criminals work that way. But when they are faced with people who are of a different nature they themselves usually become unsure of themselves. That is why they usually turn tail and run from the person who has the gun.

[MaxZagar]

Homicides Deaths per 100,000 population: 6.2 in the USA

Homicides in Finland 2,5 deaths per 100,000 population, in other European countries 1 or less then 1. This because we here in Finland are fighting and drinking a lot :) also we have a lot of guns. Don't get me wrong, I like guns and hunting and nature, but to wave around guns at a father of a child ... and according to the guy he was pushing ? What about and an honest fight ?? Not a clear cut background, and hiding behind a pistol, huh.

[MaxZagar]

@MaxZagar Indeed, strange that he was put in jail. Maybe it was because it was a public place and the other guy did not have a gun, and therefore not counted as a self defense situation ?

Just a comment. Thanx.

[ronarprfct]

So all I have to do to get away with being an asshole and attacking someone is have a kid? Twat.

[MaxZagar]

As I mentioned I am not against arms, its just that don't use them in those kind of situations. I understand a robbery, theft, assault with a weapon, then u can use a weapon but in this case ? How do you know if this wasn't just jealousy or rivalry between two guys ? The ratio 6.2 / 1 is quite obvious isn't it. It just happens by mistake ... and the kids father would have been dead. Nice going telling the kid when his 15 - 16 well I scxxx your mother and shot your father ?

[ronarprfct]

Doesn't matter. The person who initiates violence forfeits his life. The person on the receiving end may show mercy, but it is his RIGHT to not show mercy, i.e. to kill his attacker if he wishes. This was known for millennia by all sensible people. This new, idiotic idea that you have to let some outside party handle it and risk your life and your family's lives in the process is fairly new and deserves to be abandoned for its pure imbecility and lack of respect of individual sovereignty.

[bigc028282]

SPREAD THIS.

[thesoothsayers]

First of all, the public pretenders are a joke. What is he being charged with? Florida has a no duty to retreat law, what does GA have?

[willscsg]

This is Mack.. Bring it on cause I need the support! Thanks everybody!

[thinkrevolution]

Just posted this from my Gun Owners facebook page. Mac should be getting a ton of friend requests now!

Facebook . com / GunOwners

[hawkdreaming]

Yeah... Mack looks like a real bad ass... kidding, he seems like a good guy and i hope he and all his loved ones are ok...

[notmycity]

5 STARS, FAVED, AND WILL SPREAD...

[803honda]

Mack looks like such a dangerous criminal. lol

South Carolina Guard are volunteer state organized militia and they buy their own uniforms.

[Bodhizzle]

Glad he is standing up for himself and his right to defend his life and the life of his family.

[DavidThePatriot]

Tarin - I agree completely that it's a gun rights issue. Has anyone started a legal defense fund?

[silentthriller]

5p.m.? That's outrageous. Who has a trial at 5p.m.? These court people are f-ing out of their minds.

[RESET1776]

It's a sad case.

But if the assault was getting bad enough to draw on the guy. Then shouldnt he have called the police himself to report the assault? Sorry but if comes to a case where you drew on someone you need to report that before you do anything else. If you drew on a person it better mean life or death for you or others. Because if the weapon is being pointed your ready to take their life. If your put in that place by another you report that to the police ASAP

[rebel1211888]

i was going to make a comment about biscuits but im actually pretty enraged by this. Some one needs to take this case on pro bono.

[dontbeapuppet]

It's a good thing he wasn't delivering biscuits in Savannah.

[skeptics2003]

Tarrin - The question that had to be asked in this interview was, "Specifically, what crime is the gentleman charged with?" Is he charged with assault or violation of some gun permit regulation? You have to let your viewers know if we are fighting a bad law here or wrongful prosecution. Please advise if you have the info.

[LCLREPORT]

accordding to Mac The catch all "disorderly conduct" and "pulling a gun on another"

Friend him and ask all the details, but I know enough to make a decision. I don't give a damm what any law on a piece of paper says, If someone attacks my family and me first I will defend myself. It does not matter to me where I am, how I am carrying the gun or if I have the states blessing to carry it. Some things are clear what is morally right and wrong.

[skeptics2003]

I agree wholeheartedly. However, it is important to distinguish whether the cops are disputing the facts (i.e., the alleged assailant did not really assault Mac and therefore he was not justified in pulling his weapon), or whether they agree to the facts but Mac's actions are still against the law. In the latter case, there is clearly a law on the books that needs to be repealed. In the former, there is merely the need to establish the facts. Of course, even in this case Mac should be

[LCLREPORT]

I agree if Mac just went cowboy and pulled the gun out then he should be considered dangerous. But I actually know Mac and trust what he says. Also he has no record and Mac says the other guy has a record of multiple violent assaults. So common sense tells me to trust mac!

[skeptics2003]

innocent until proven guilty, not thrown in the slammer when no one was harmed.

[ronarprfct]

Exactly. Being deprived of you liberty for even a little while just because you've been accused of something is bogus. They should have to prove the case before they even arrest you.

[ess1898]

I think you should share this with Alex Jones.

[LCLREPORT]

Sure feel free to post it over there!

[lengthyounarther]

I dont know about Georgia, but its very common for "brandishing" to be illigal. To me this is silly, and noramally its not reported (criminals typically dont call the police and say that somebody brandished a gun while the criminal was attempting to commit a crime)

[Bound4NH]

@lengthyounarther

Generally speaking, you have the same exemption to show the gun that you have to use it. That is, if you're justified to threaten or use deadly force, you're justified to show the gun.

[generationkeeper]

Public Pretenders are Officers of the Court and cannot resovle the conflict of interest in representing you in front of the very court that they are an Officer of!

[CampQwitchaBitchin]

They want us to believe only government can protect us as they discourage and punish us when we try to protect ourselves. He should beat this. If he doesn't, I'll be pissed!

[NWOIS666]

JUst a glimpse of what is to come, so sad that you can't defend your family anymore.

[gerrilea1]

They have to discredit anyone with a gun and God Forbid actually using it to defend themselves.

The Supreme Court made it clear the police have no obligation to protect us, so who will? That leaves our own protection to each of us!

Great Report again!
