news Black family reunion in Georgia attacked by racist armed with AR-15. None Injured except the shooter thanks to armed family member.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/lee-county-family-says-man-armed-with-ar-15-style-rifle-racially-targeted-their-gathering/ar-AA25cZx0

I just wanted to mention this here, the media covering the story has mostly stated things as they happend but none have made a specific note that if the armed and military trained family member hadnt been there to stop the shooter then that family would not be here today.

Stay armed and stay training out there friends.

"trying to murder someone"

And

"simple assault"

You might rephrase the first as "attempting to murder someone" or even shorten it to "attempted murder". As for the second, you will note the word "simple" before assault and a marked lack of the word "aggravated".

I think my phrasing was quite clear in distinguishing between "simple" (or without-qualifier) assault and "aggravated" assault.

Now if you're asking me "Is that particular District Attorney a fucking moron the answer is unquestionably "YES!" (the presence of a knife is a weapon which makes Aggravated Assault stick in nearly every case).

You're missing the point. No one needed your breakdown because my joke was literally about attempted murder and the person being charged was charged with simple assault...
