Bernard Getz would be a case in point though if he had kept his mouth shut he would have ended up in court.

I always tried to stay on top of things in PA, knowing what groups were in my local community, monitoring who was contacting my children via IM's and chats and who were potential threats to my family but now it's horrifying. Edited for spelling

Bernie Goetz... LOL. I can't help but wonder what a circus that case would be if it happened with the media we have today.

Now either these people are members of all the same organizations or there is more hatred out there than I thought. And does a site like this one convince you that kinky people are a significant segment of the population? That's not intended as a snark question. Follow enough links, you'll always find a rabbit hole to tumble down, on any topic. The mommy's basement crowd is creepy.

Actually I would be quite content if more people were like us. At least we're not afraid to say which side of the bread we like to butter. I have visited a lot of sites and I am not naive to the fact of your comment above, it could also be my experiences. These groups are becoming more vocal and hitting on other people's fears and insecurities that give them the power to grow.

His lawyers told him not to talk about it but Getz couldn't help himself and ran his mouth off on TV. Even though the case for murder was weak, he said enough to piss off the anti gun NYC prosecutors and ended up in court. He wasn't convicted of murder, rightly so, but they got him on the gun charge which in my opinion was BS.

I think I should point out that this has no bearing on the Dunn case.

The killing this thread is about. His best chance is if Corey oversteps again. 2nd should be a slam, when combined with 3 counts of attempted 2nd he should never see the light of day. Keep in mind he was not acquitted they couldn't agree on a charge.

quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen The killing this thread is about. Oh that one[8D] Yet I still ask, what part of my post were addressing ? I don't see where this guy got away with much if anything yet. I don't see how you get first degree murder out of it though I definitely see second. I'm not sure where SYG came into it and can't they retry that part of the case ? I don't think his feeble excuse for self defense got by the jury entirely.

SYG was not accepted, if it had been he would have walked. He was convicted of 3 felonies, hardly "getting off". And they have said they will retry.

So he tried to use the SYG defense but it didn't fly ? Yep he claimed they had a gun. However he didn't even mention this till the next day. He waited until the next day to report the incident, after he found out someone had seen his license plate. SYG was his only hope but it wasn't granted.
