This video of Mark Hughes should be viewed far and wide


This is an interview about Mark and his brothers interrogation with the police.

Anyone would be rattled and upset from being accused of being pretty much a terrorist and lied to by police in wild accusasions.

They made their point pretty well

Hopefully the link will work, the video is 9 minutes long but I recommend watching the whole thing, very good points are made in the last few minutes

Edit to ad

that is a link to a CBS news report. I found it on twitter but when I copied and posted the actual url it is not that video but new updated news. The only way it worked for me was the strange looking twitter link, but it goes to the same CBS report

Can we stop making this open carry idiot out to be some sort of hero/victim? He's no better than the dumb white guys who do the same thing.

"My constitutional riiiiiiiots" like every other white asshole who just has to wave his dick in public at peaceful protests.

The gun nuts always have their patter down, black or white....

You wanna open carry? Deal with it when another "law abiding gun owner" suddenly decides not to be one.....

Did he or did he not, less than a minute in, start talking about his brother's "constitutional right"?

But I didn't watch it, huh?

If you worked for me I would probably fire you

Maybe you could study and try harder, but even with that it doesn't look like there is much hope

But that's just my opinion

His was the ONLY photo broadcast across all media in connection with the attack, and not only as a person of interest. Tweets from authorities also incorrectly identified him as a suspect. The ONLY "suspect" identified with a photo, which is still out there.

He doesn't deserve to be getting threats and have to fear for his life.

You mean to tell me that when shots were fired, the first reaction was "go find the guy carrying the gun"? Oh the horror of such logic!

Video documented the guy being in the street when the shooting started, and also showed him turning the weapon over to a police officer. How was blasting his photo across the net as a "suspect" in any way legitimate?

10. Simple miscommunication
Fri Jul 8, 2016, 06:48 AM
Jul 2016

When people are getting shot, ending with five people dead and a dozen injured, sometimes one hand doesn't wash the other. I can only imagine how many people were nervous seeing this jackass with a gun and in the panic immediately thought of him as they ran for their lives.

Here's a good tip to avoid it. Don't carry tools whose only use is to kill around, openly, like an asshole. It'll keep you off any suspect list.

Yeah, that seems fair and reasonable.
