You in the hood or were, so you know we had drop guns all over the place. Behind certain trash cans, in certain bushes, in some spot on certain alleys. The whole purpose was to have access to the gun without having to have it on us like that. So we can literally “run” to it.If the threat is running away, its no longer a threat.
Everyone has seen themselves or heard about a dude run to his car after an altercation, grab his gun and start dumping at folks. What I’m saying is just because someone is running away, doesn’t automatically mean they aren’t doing so with intent to better position themselves to harm you.
Cardell Hayes had a conviction vacated based partially on the fact that Will Smith (Saints) got shot “running away” because he was running to his gun in the car. If the racist ass court system in Louisiana can recognize that is a factor even for a black man then it’s enough for everyone else to be able to understand as well.
It’s not cut and dry.
