I hope they do catch the person responsible but a lot of times "Nobody saw anything. Nobody heard anything. Nobody knows anything." especially if it was a situation where he wanted to leave that life behind.
Idiotic anti gun...

Get real. When you are being attacked in your home, the police are only minutes away, but that would be minutes too late.
If he had a kid and a wife, then it would be reckless to wait for the attacker to come to them. If one is to defend their family or at least try to, they meet the attacker before they get to the wife and kid.
Even in MD you are allowed to confront the invader of your house and use deadly force if necessary. With the exception of some state's laws, the police are not obligated to defend you, nor are they liable if they don't.
Well then, maybe his wife should have owned the gun.

I've had someone pull a shotgun on my Dad when I was younger in the backyard. I ran in called 911 then grabbed my shotgun. I had the bead between the guys eyes for 10 min before the police showed up :shrug:

NBC Sports said the gun wasn't his, and that HE never pointed it at anybody. As I said in another thread, I'll take Lindsay Czarniak's word over some lawyer for some punk gang member that's just trying to get paid off real well.
I don't know how true it is. Either way, that was a very teeny tiny offense that haters wanted to overstate. The gun was never fired. Now he's dead.
All the far left liberals who don't believe in someone's right to own a gun got what they wanted.
Well, well put. A well-order militia, indeed...

Nope. Cheap shot....
Criminals loose rights.
Many felons cannot possess firearms, and Clinton cannot practice law.
Americans can bear arms. Just like they have free speach. But just as you cannot yell 'Fire!' in a theatre, homies cannot bear arms.
Even Ruby Ridger's should get that. Then again, y'all still think Ole Dave at Waco was picked on...

thats what his lawyer was trying to say too, but i give the fact that he pleaded "no contest" to the charges greater weight. If he had really been inocent he would not have plead out to a weapons charge.

In memory of Tippy
This is not true. Charges were dropped in that case and he did NOT have a felony conviction. He could most certainly defend himself with a gun but choose not to in this circumstance for whatever reason. Most likely, it wasn't handy at the time. SEE BELOW
Arrested for armed assault
Events:
On June 3, 2005, Taylor was named publicly as a "person of interest" by Miami-Dade County police in regard to a Miami assault case involving firearms, and was being sought for questioning. "We need to speak to him, we don't know if he's a victim, witness or suspect," Miami-Dade police spokesman Mary Walters said. Taylor allegedly was present at, and possibly involved in, an incident on June 1, 2005 in Miami, in which bullets allegedly were fired into a stolen vehicle. [citation needed]
On June 5, 2005, ESPN and The Miami Herald both reported that Taylor, accompanied by his lawyer, surrendered to Miami-Dade police at approximately 10pm ET on June 4 at Miami's Cutler Ridge district police station, where he was transported to Miami's Turner Guilford Knight correctional facility. He was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm, a felony, and misdemeanor battery.[citation needed]
On June 5, Miami-Dade police issued a statement indicating that Taylor had been arrested for aggravated assault with a firearm (a felony) and battery (a misdemeanor), for allegedly pointing a gun at a person over a dispute over two ATVs that Taylor claimed were stolen.[citation needed] Taylor then allegedly left the scene, but returned shortly and punched one person.[citation needed]
The Associated Press reported on June 5 that Taylor was held in detention at Miami's Turner Gilford Knight correctional facility and released the evening of June 4 after posting bond of $16,500. The Miami-Dade County Clerk's Office announced that Taylor would soon be officially arraigned on the charges.[citation needed]
The Washington Post reported on March 3, 2006 that Taylor's trial has been postponed until April 10, 2006. Days before that date, the trial was moved back once more, this time by a week, because of conflicts with Passover and Easter celebrations.[citation needed]
Plea agreement and resolution
On January 28, 2006, the Miami-Dade County prosecutor announced that he was filing new charges against Taylor, which would have increased his potential maximum jail time from 16 years to 46 years.[citation needed]
The new charges included increasing his felony assault charges from one to three, which reflected the allegation that, on June 1, 2005, he brandished a firearm at three individuals who Taylor believed stole two all-terrain vehicles from him.[citation needed]
The trial was again postponed on April 17, 2006 (to May 8, 2006), after the prosecutor in the case asked the presiding judge to be removed from the case. The County prosecutor's request for removal from the case came as Taylor's defense lawyers argued that the prosecutor was using the case to promote his side-work as a disc jockey in South Beach. Defense lawyers for Taylor entered a motion for the case's complete dismissal, due to prosecutorial misconduct.[citation needed]
On May 8, 2006, the prosecution requested and received another extension of the case, citing the new prosecutor assigned to the case and a need for additional preparation time. The trial was scheduled to begin July 10, 2006 in Miami but on June 2, 2006 the charges against Taylor were dropped as part of a negotiated plea bargain. Taylor donated his time to various charities and made $1,000 donations to 10 southern Florida schools in scholarships and, in exchange, would avoid jail time and a felony record.[citation needed]
