@DetectiveCrockett7 This poor boy upabittoolate is a loser. Unfortanetely he lives in a delusional world where he thinks he is some authority or knowledgeable person.

He claims to be a teacher. If you have ever wondered why the schools are failing, he and others like him would be the reason.

@upabittoolate IDIOT!!!

@upabittoolate

After more than a year, you come back at me with this. Wow.

[upabittoolate]

@DetectiveCrockett77 You got schooled.

My friend, I know what I'm talking about. You can continue your lame attempts to "school" me all you want; you're still wrong.

(from before)

Now, if you're going to contend that "Joe Schmoe" would face OTHER charges for handling a gun, which would be different than those faced by an officer of the law, then that's a different ballgame. The "Joe Schmoe" may not be licensed to carry, for instance. But in terms of actually shooting someone with it, or killing them, it makes no difference. The law applies equally both ways.

@DetectiveCrockett77 That may have been the conviction but damned if the prosecutors shouldn't have pressed for crim-neg. I read it just fine. I;'m talking bout what's just.

You really aren't that bright are you?

@upabittoolate

I won this argument. Know how I know? The fact that you were the first to resort to the namecalling. It almost always serves as an admission of defeat. But honestly, I'd rather just be civil and tell you where you're wrong.

The fact that Mehserle was a cop at the time of the shooting doesn't singlehandedly make this a crime, much less murder. If it were "Joe Schmoe" holding the gun, it wouldn't make a difference, at least in that particular respect.

@DetectiveCrockett77 Horseshit. You thought you had some traction. So on top of all else, you're not even honest?

You have no integrity. You forfeited the conversation.

Peace.

Right, but I was talking about involuntary manslaughter. Learn how to read, putz.
