Why apologists for the murdering mass shooter?
azcentral comments:
Ken Rineer Yes, it could have been Steven that was beaten to a pulp, putting him in intensive care, or worse, beaten to death. Why did these four fraternity members pick a fight with Steven and his friends? Unfortunately one is dead and four were injured. The four injured will have an opportunity to think twice before picking a fight. We do not know yet how much of a threat the 4 attackers posed to the group walking, did they pose enough of a danger for Steven to fear for his life? Those details will surely come out as the prosecution progresses. - likes Rand Paul, Snowden Gun Owners of Arizona
Steve Miller · Glendale, Arizona Having been in a fraternity pledge environment many years ago, it's not hard to imagine what would bring a "level-headed" freshman to fire several shots at four juniors from a rival fraternity. I can still remember the animosity between rival houses and the escalation of tensions during Pledge Week. I don't know the circumstances of this incident (as does anyone else other than the actors), but the "victims" are probably not without blame as are the brothers of the shooter.
They're holding a vigil for a dude like he's some sort of angel. He and a bunch of frat douches approached Jones and started a fight with him...guess what, you don't start none, won't be none. Was it stupid for Jones to go back and start shooting and will he pay for it, absolutely but again, these frat douches don't go acting like tough guys and everyone is enjoying the weekend. BTW, this same scenario played out on the streets of NY, Chicago,LA and Detroit 100x since this went down in Arizona but I guess since it's not privileged white kids there's nothing to report...
