None of that means that he drew the weapon with the specific intent of firing it

If he has had training as you say then he best have upholstered it with the intent to use it. You don't draw your piece otherwise.

Using and firing it can be separate actions.

Positive.

I can see just being out there, to be hanging out and maybe running into some chicks, but to actually become radicalized? I would think that it would take more than boredom to cause that.

You call it hotdogging because you are (at best) ill informed. If I was less polite I would call you an absolute and utter moron.

Professionals see the context clues from frame 871. It is a dead give away as it shows the beginning of an immediate action drill that should have terminated when the target (Keltner) showed he he did not possess the means to be a lethal threat (mace in dominant hand) nor was taking further aggressive actions (backing away with hands by his side).

But Dolloff had already mentally killed Keltner at that point. He simply needed to complete the mechanics of the drill he had practiced multiple times over. That is why professionals go through these mind numbing repetitions. To ensure they do them without thought or hesitation. They have to remove the humanity of their "opponent" so they can be skillful in the execution of their task.

Don't rend your garments Hank. He is a nobody to you. Just an image on a page. But he was a human being with value and worth to the rest of us how have a shred of humanity to us.

It's why I have drills in my training where a draw doesn't result in firing the weapon.

Too many instructors hammer home the point that if you draw, you fire. That's foolish, in my opinion.

That's how you get situations like this, where touching the front of his shirt meant that a headshot was the only path his brain would take.

This sort of conjecture will absolutely go both ways at trial.

Glad to have a very experienced Marine combat veteran in this mix. But have you been tracking the Newman/Dolloff stalking of Keltner? The fact that Richardson/Elliot were going around working altercations at the conclusion of the Patriot Muster? A total of four of them?

This was no random event DB. It was a set up.

I've seen a lot of that information, but I don't think any prosecutor would want to touch it.

It may be accurate, but it's hard to sift through what's legit and what's pure speculation.

I am not minimizing him in the least bit. He hit him aggressively and hard after Dolloff put his hands on his torso very close to his concealed pistol.

Still no reason to draw immediately afterwards.
