    LOL I don't care about the difference between guns. Where have I hidden that! Would you like to have a conversation about Laser Warning Receivers or perhaps Missile Approach Warner's design or perhaps Anti-Radar Homing Heads or Global Positioning Satellite equipment design, you know, something a little bit more advanced than your superiority of knowledge of different guns? Who feels shame not being able to identify different types of guns? You write nonsense

    BTW This thread is nothing about what type of gun was used in this attempted murder. It is about the use of a gun

    He saw a black man at night and immediately thought he was the guilty one. Any black man would have done

    I'm well aware of the tape and the fact this guy is probably going to jail but get your facts straight about it. You don't even know if he is a "redneck" and nothing has been brought forward showing any white supremacy affiliation or support or anything.

    nice to know that the red neck got somebody on his side.

    Let me recall you claimed to have the "facts straight on":
    Waters’ defense also told a judge that Waters believed the victim was holding a gun when he was shot. Prosecutors revealed Monday that what Waters’ believed to be a weapon was actually a pair of headphones."

    You're just distracting around now from a case about a red neck running out of his house with his weapon, just because he saw a random black guy walking down the street.... and than he used it when the black men ran for his life.

    Look, hiding your ignorance of weapons and the law is one thing, deflecting to missiles is just pointless.

    You have no idea whatsoever was going on in his head. You’re pretending you do, but you don’t.

    this doesn’t stop you from making things up. That’s what you’re doing. Another desperate attempt to be a social justice larper.

    Again, where did I hide anything? I already told you that I don't care about differences between guns. You keep making things up. Now if you want to discuss the physics behind ballistics (bullets to you) we could do that. I don't care about how "powerful" your gun is over other guns. You haven't answered the question, "Who feels shame not being able to identify different types of guns?" when you wrote "There was a time when people felt shame because they were so uneducated on a topic." Is that another thing you made up?

    Meanwhile, back on topic, 'He' saw a black man at night and immediately thought he was the guilty one. Any black man would have done. He attempted to murder him

    the shame you should be feeling is about making hilarious assertions about the use of weapons and the laws that surround them.

    you have no idea whatsoever what went on in his mind. There’s no evidence that “any black man would have done” that just another in a series of your projections. You’re race-baiting and it’s pretty funny.

    So why did he attempt to kill a black man that did not look like any of the suspects he described a few days earlier?

    BTW you didn't answer the questions again

    You're not a mind reader, and he didn't say that, and neither did his attorney. This is what you're lying about.

    Do you know what description of the thieves he previously gave? Could you quote it here? And do you know how many black men he saw that day / evening?

    He thought the headphones in his hand were a gun. This has already been explained to you.

    I keep asking this question but I fail to get an answer...

    How come it's automatically presumed to be racism because this "redneck.... Tip of the hat to Omni" shot a black man?

    Far more black people shoot white people everyday across the Nation and yet no one finds that automatically racist. Isn't the very definition of racism when you look or view things differently because of skin color?

    I know what the traditional definition of racism is but I'm going by the progressive definition.

    "The judge seemed to dismiss Badillo’s claims, and clarified that there was no evidence that the victim was connected to the previous crime. He did not even match the description Waters gave when the break-in first occurred."

    I asked you what headphones look like a gun? The judge dismissed that excuse. And he was shot from behind while trying to get away.

    it’s late and night and there’s a black guy near his vehicle. At that hour you couldn’t tell me from another dude who looks similar. He didn’t just shoot some random black guy on his porch. What he did was make a really stupid mistake as this guy had nothing to do with breaking into his car. He’s guilty of being not only an idiot but attempted manslaughter. The guy was no threat, and there was no reason to so much as point a gun at him. He’s screwed.

    My suspicion is the white supremacist householder was in a rage and wanted to take a pot shot at the nearest black that he saw. He forgot that you're not allowed to do that anymore...

    No, his lawyer didn't say what you posted. You're wrong about that. At this point, I'm inclined to believe it's out of dishonesty rather than ignorance. Why don't you try this: quote exactly the words his lawyer spoke / wrote, rather than your ignorant misinterpretation of what you imagine his lawyer said.

    I didn't see that question, but assuming it came from an attitude of sincere inquiry for a moment: in the dark / stressful situations a lot of things can be (and often are) mistaken for a gun. Cell phones, wallets, hell, I've even seen the cops shoot a guy holding a flip-flop / sandal and later say they thought it was a gun.

    Good, now we're getting somewhere. Let's try this: the article wrote "did not even match the description Waters gave when the break-in first occurred." That could mean lots of things. That could mean that he said the thieves were white women and this guy was black. It could also mean that Waters said the thieves looked like they were 6' tall and this guy was only 5'11, or that he was wearing jeans at the time of the theft and this guy was wearing sweatpants when he was shot. See, that's the problem with ambiguously-written news articles: we're missing a lot of information here, and people like you take that lack of information and spin a whole narrative in your imagination, like when you wrote: "... who looked nothing like the description of any of the thieves he previously gave."
    The article didn't say "looked nothing like". that's something you simply fabricated out of whole-cloth. The (poorly-written) article merely said "did not even match the description". That could mean literally anything, from 1" difference in height, or 5 lbs difference in weight, or a different article of clothing, etc. We simply don't know, and you go off half-cocked and concoct this false story that he looked "nothing" like the thief. You don't know. You're making a guess, from a position of sheer ignorance.

    Where does it say that the victim was near the shooter's vehicle or near the shooter's porch?
    Quote
    “There was nothing that would cause him to fear the victim, the victim had not stepped foot at his front door, on his driveway, in his front yard.”
    And all reports say that he did not look similar other than for color

    that’s the problem with a vague description, we don’t have a recreation of the crime scene. But we do know if he just wanted to shoot any black guy he had all day and an entire city to do it in.

    or did he just choose not to shoot all the other black people in the city?

    A vague description to which you added that the victim was close to the shooter's vehicle and on his porch. Why are you making up things? We don't know if he had all day. He might have just got home and still fuming. Again you are making up things

    the SHOOTER was on his porch, learn to read. the SHOOTER had all day every day up until when he took this terrible shot. or was he born at 10:59 and walked out at 11 and shot the first black guy he saw?
