AWR HAWKINS 28 May 2023

A North Carolina bus driver in the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) was fired after surveillance video showed him shoot an alleged armed attacker on the bus.

The incident occurred May 18, but surveillance video was just released.

ABC 7 reported that a 22-year-old passenger, Omarri Tobias, allegedly pulled a gun after driver, David Fullard, refused to let him off the bus between stops.

ABC News noted that Tobias allegedly said, “I dare you. I dare you to touch me. I’m going to pop your a–.” Tobias then allegedly pulled a gun and walked toward Fullard.

Fullard then pulled his own gun and opened fire.

Tobias fired too, leaving Fullard with a gunshot wound to his arm. Tobias was shot in the abdomen.

Fullard stopped the bus and continued to fire at Tobias as he crawled toward the rear of the bus.

CATS fired Fullard over the incident, claiming he did not properly attempt to deescalate the situation. CATS also noted Fullard was barred from bringing a gun to work.

WSOC pointed out that Fullard’s attorney indicated his client had a gun because he did not feel safe on the job.

Listen up folks: you CAN NOT keep shooting after a threat has passed, run off, died, or is in any other way, no longer a deadly threat.

No matter how justified your response may have been initially, you will lose the fight, legally, if you continue to fire after the fact.

I mean, this should just be common sense. However, when the adrenaline is pumping, humans will continue all sorts of things that come naturally to them. One of those things is to complete the job. If the situation hasn't reached a final resolution, the adrenaline can very easily carry it home.

Tell that to law enforcement.
 
Thou shalt not defend thyself nor others, pleb.

I have no problem with this man wasting the thug who pulled a gun and threatened to shoot him.

He fucked around and found out.

But because I want as many people as possible armed for defense, I also want to make sure people understand the legal limits on lethal force self defense.

And almost universally, if you continue to use deadly force against a perp that has assumed room temperature, has surrendered, has run off, or in any other way, a reasonable person would assume there is no longer a deadly threat posed, you will end up in very hot water.
 
I feel you, but I would take it even further.

I would argue that there is an agenda to frighten the plebs into relinquishing self defense altogether.

Even when it's completely warranted.

I was just about to say "Didn't AF say that's not a justified shooting" and your next post says exactly that! That said...I would have just stopped the bus. Yeah the shooting was justified before the thug ran away...but I would have just stopped the bus.
