If I should ever get shot, I implore you to politicize my injury or death IMMEDIATELY for the sake of gun anti-proliferation.
...reacted poorly to this scenario ...
Police say the woman was approached by a 19-year-old man with a gun at a bus stop on Tuesday morning. After a struggle on the ground, the woman pulled her own gun on the man and fatally shot him in the neck.
saying that "Conservatives are thrilled" that she had to put this assailant down.
UPDATE: Ford has since deleted the tweet and written a thread apologizing.
FWIW, the apology isn't half bad (although 2 & 5 seem to negate one another)...he must really hate having to eat crow.

"Avarice, ambition, revenge and licentiousness would break the strongest cords of our Constitution, as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams to Mass Militia 10-11-1798
Hah!!! Speak for yourself snowflake. Wouldn't bother me at all to see the penalty for theft be death.

It wasn't theft, it was armed robbery. Nothing says he's "Just a good boy, a nineteen year old" like him sticking a gun in someone's face just 2 months out from prison.

Absolutely correct.
Any time I see some imbecile treat ARMED ROBBERY as a "property crime", I smack them down as hard as I can.
Stealing your hedge trimmer out of your garage while you're asleep is a property crime.
ARMED ROBBERY is a crime against a PERSON, YOU.
I wouldn't shoot somebody running away with a TV.
ANY time you forcible rob a person, you should have in the back of what passes for your "mind", the possibility that you'll get shot.
Life comes at you fast. Be prepared to shoot it in the head when it does.
Don't see it that way at all. Unfortunately the law doesn't see it my way.
ALL theft is a crime against a person. The thief is stealing whatever portion of my life that I had to spend to earn that item. There is no way I will ever get that time back. In addition, if that item is not recovered then I will have to spend yet more of my finite time to earn that item again. And, even if the item is recovered, I will still have to spend some of my finite time to deal with the issue. In addition, any time I must spend to repair any damage done by the thief in the commission of their crime is time that I can never recover.
