MAGAshooter called a friend to say he 'killed somebody,' police say, and then shot two others

At those demonstrations, the complaint states Rittenhouse clashed with people gathered near the car dealership for reasons not specified. Rosenbaum was unarmed and threw an object that appeared to be a plastic bag at him and missed, according to the complaint.
Rosenbaum and the suspect moved across the parking lot and appeared to be in close proximity when loud bangs suddenly rang out and Rosenbaum fell to the ground, according to the complaint.
As Rosenbaum lay on the ground, the suspect made a call on his cellphone and said, "I just killed somebody" as he ran away, the complaint alleges. His friend received a call from him at 11:46 p.m. saying that he shot someone, an investigator says in the complaint.

They HAVE to do that.

Dylan Roof was not taken to Burger King. The police brought him food when he complained about being hungry (check Snopes).

Many folks seem to be unaware that suspects in custody have many protections while being interrogated. The police must show that the suspect was not denied food, water and bathroom breaks. It is incredibly common for suspects being interrogated after hours to be given fast food, while on camera, to show that their subsequent confessions were not coerced and they can’t claim their rights were violated. Imagine the real outrage if the police had bungled Roof’s interrogation and he was freed at trial?

Which is worse? Violating a suspects rights and having the case jeopardized or, worse, dismissed? Or bringing a suspect fast food and securing that confession as admissible?

The police do a LOT of bad. Treating prisoners humanely - even the most heinous white supremacists - is not bad. It is the law and if we want those convictions we need the police to follow those laws.

Nikolas Cruz Admits to Two Fast-Food Stops After Florida School Shooting

After shooting more than 100 rounds of ammunition and claiming 17 lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, confessed school shooter Nikolas Cruz ditched his weaponry and headed to Subway then McDonald's.

According to arrest reports, the 19-year-old fled the scene by getting rid of his AR-15 semiautomatic rifle and blending in with a crowd of terrified evacuating students. He then casually walked to a Walmart, where he bought a drink at the Subway inside.

Then he walked to McDonald's, Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel said at a news conference Thursday. About 40 minutes after leaving the McDonald's, Cruz was confronted by a police officer who recognized his description and taken into custody.

of not being so humane with black people. They're lucky to get arrested many times.

Are you talking about Dylan Roof in South Carolina? There was some misinformation that police took him to Burger King (they didn’t, check Snopes). Is there another case where the police in Georgia took a killer to the Burger King?

Neither would waking up the kitchen guy to make the little shitstain a sandwich.

And I think it should go without saying that cops only do this with white suspects. The black suspects get shot to death. (Which I think should count as prisoner abuse. But then, I'm not a cop...)

If Roof had said he was hungry and hadn’t eaten, and they made him wait 6 hours (or more, depending on how long the interrogation took) then his attorneys would have a strong argument that his rights were violated and any confession could easily be ruled inadmissible.

I certainly agree that withholding food for a few hours pales in comparison to the abuse often suffered at the hands of police - but it’s still a rights violation and needless.

Again - would you rather have the police wait 6 hours to feed someone like Roof and risk the entire case? Or bring him a meal when he says he’s hungry?

Not feeding him for three days, I can see. But a few hours?

I'm a liberal. I'm not one of those "Criminals have too damn many rights these days!" assholes. But coddling the little fucksmear right after he murdered nine people is a little overboard.

Given that he was on the lam when captured, and given the seriousness of his crimes, a mass murderer's word that he was hungry can't be taken at face value. This kid was a cold-blooded killer.

They brought a Burger King meal to him while he was being interrogated when he complained of hunger. Failing to offer food, drink and bathroom breaks to suspects being interrogated can put their confession at risk of being suppressed.

Securing Roof’s conviction was of the utmost importance and his interrogation was handled by the book.

That post should have been corrected by the poster as soon as it was pointed out to be false, but, as you say, you've got to wonder at the motivation of those that do it and then don't correct it when called on it.

It was his passage into macho manhood.

He defined himself as the man, the gun, and the fearless tough guy who would save and protect the world from the terrorist, Antifa, the darkies, the immigrant and other assorted scum. He wanted to go hunt them down and fill them full of bullets.

He got his chance and that is exactly what he did.

Also, it's mentioned in the complaint::

[...]
After shooting Huber, the defendant moves to a seated position and points his gun at a third male, later identified as Gaige Grosskreutz, who had begun to approach the defendant. When the defendant shot Huber, Grosskreutz freezes and ducks and takes a step back. Grosskreutz puts his hands in the air. Grosskreutz then moves towards the defendant who aims his gun at Grosskreutz and shoots him, firing 1 shot. Grosskreutz was shot in the right arm. Grosskreutz appears to be holding a handgun in his right hand when he was shot. Grosskreutz then runs southbound away from the defendant screaming for a medic and the defendant gets up and starts walking northbound. The defendant turns around facing southbound while walking backwards northbound with his firearm in a ready position, pointed towards the people in the roadway.

Of course the fascist are using it to say self defense, but it might be Grosskreutz was trying to protect himself and others.

In the end, it it only going to matter what happens in the trial.

We keep hearing that solution to stopping mass shooting are more "good guys with a gun". I guess Grosskreutz should have just shot him immediately.
