I just want to say that in the US at least as far as I know every part of shooting someone is a crime. So even if you were stopped at the last second you could still be prosecuted for assault, brandishing, etc.
If you were stopped before even trying to shoot someone though what have you really done? You approached someone empty handed?
- DarkWiiPlayer 6y agoMy point is, when the intention is clear, an attempted crime should itself be treated as a crime. What's more, if people weren't so damn emotional about everything, since it's very hard to prove someones intention, cases like the one in the article should be thrown out before ever reaching a judge. The real evil in this story, I would say, is the typical "innocent until suspected guilty" approach people tend to have for certain crimes, specially when children are involved. Let's be honest, the scenario of the article didn't prove anything. It gave some indication that maybe the guy was attempting to commit a crime, so he should never have been convicted of anything.
