Buzzkill: thug tries to tase a concealed carrier in front of his
daughter for “fun”

By BearingArms.com Staff / 27 August 2013 / 10 comments
Marvell Weaver and his pals thought it might be funny to play a
variation of the street thug game, “point ‘em out, knock ‘em out.”
Normally, he would single out a victim, approach, and then sucker
punch them as hard as he could in an effort to knock the victim out.
Weaver thought that this time, he’d use a taser instead to drop his
victim, a man waiting a a school-bus stop with his child.

He chose… poorly.

The teen had two friends nearby – dropped off by a third friend in
a van after they scouted their target. They knew what Marvell Weaver
was going to do. They had discussed it.

Weaver approached his victim from behind, a black KL-800 Type Stun
Gun in his pocket. It is capable of generating 1.8 million volts.

He passed him and turned back, pressed the stun gun into the
victim’s side. Again and again, and … nothing. It had fired earlier
when testing it, he would later tell police.

“The button was like stuck down … or something. I don’t know what
caused it not to work,” according to a transcript of Weaver’s
statement.

‘Please don’t kill me’

The intended victim moved quickly, pulling his stainless steel
.40-caliber Smith and Wesson. It had a full 10-bullet magazine, and
was worth about $900 police estimated.

He shot Weaver in his buttocks as the teen turned to flee.

“It happened so fast I wasn’t sure. I just know something was
shoved into my side. I wasn’t sure if it was a knife, if it was
anything,” he told police.

Weaver ran, sat down across the street, his leg going numb,
bleeding. Pleading.

“‘I’m sorry, please don’t kill me, I don’t know why I did that,
I’m high you know, I just wanna go home,’” the teen told the man who
had just shot him.

I’m going waaaaay out on a limb—and onto Weaver’s Twitter feed—to
reach the conclusion that young Marvell is just another example of the
same sort of half-literate nihilist that has been dominating news
cycles lately for carrying out brutal and senseless crimes for
fleeting amusement.

Now more than ever, concealed carry is starting to look like a
necessity.



"In the United States "liberal" means today a set of ideas and political
postulates
that in every regard are the opposite of all that liberalism meant to the
preceding generations.
The American self-styled liberal aims at government omnipotence, is a
resolute foe of free enterprise,
and advocates all-round planning by the authorities, i.e., socialism." --
Ludwig von Mises (1929)



That's why leftists are against CCW. They want to do what they do with
impunity.

Open carry is even better. The crooks know in advance how you resolve
disputes and they move on to easier targets.

Best Regards
Tom.

And it makes it sooo much easier for a criminal to take your gun:

"Man robbed in the Centreville area"

"About 4:10 a.m. Sunday, July 30, officers were called to the area of
Newton Patent Drive and Newton Tavern Drive. A 21-year-old
Centreville-area man was robbed while walking on Newton Patent Drive.
Two suspects approached the victim from behind, and placed a metal
object up to the victim’s head. The suspects took the victim’s hand
gun which he was openly carrying. The suspect’s then fled the area."

It's like carrying a billboard that says "It's right here, guys. Come
and get it."
