HE AIMED HIS FIREARM AT A CHILD IN A VEHICLE.
Accidental discharge my ass, you don't play with firearms you treat them as if they're loaded and ready to go at all times BECAUSE LAZINESS KILLS PEOPLE.
An accidental discharge goes into the sky or the ground. This fucker was AIMING AT THE KIDS HEAD.
He intended to citizens arrest or something along those lines. He didnt intend to shoot though, which doesn't change much, but I at least think an accident is different than on purpose.
Still guilty of something, and honestly wouldnt be too shocked if the charge was the same regardless.
Don’t fucking point a gun at anything you don’t intend to shoot.
If you point a gun at someone, you are trying to kill them...there is no other way of thinking about it or you end up like this guy. It'd be the same as me pushing a needle to my vein and going woopsie. I didn't mean to get high. The needle only has one purpose to penetrate the vein. Same as a gun, it's not a warning tool it's not a citizen arrest tool it has one purpose to kill, that's it.
Sounds like BS. Everyone knows you only point a gun at something you intend to destroy, and you keep the safety on until you are absolutely sure. This guy did neither, he's just lying at this point.
