Outrage, indeed
The Publicola gang is all over this story:
In Florida, Mr. Spaulding, a 71 year old concealed carry permit holder, was witnessing a 63 year old friend being kicked on the ground by three thugs. Mr. Spaulding shot and stopped the attack. The police show up and arrest the thugs but later release them. Mr. Spaulding is arrested for attempted murder. That is outrage number one.
Number two: The police state that Mr. Spaulding should have called 911 instead of intervening. Of course, in the time the police took to show up, the man may have been killed.
Number 3: Mr. Spaulding had to agree not to possess weapons to be released. No charges have yet been filed against him but his rights are being infringed upon.
Go read Publicola and Nicki’s for the details: here, here, and here.
