An Oklahoma man who was doing target practice in his backyard on Christmas is believed to have shot and killed an elderly woman a few blocks from his home, authorities said.
Cody Wayne Adams, 33, has been charged with first-degree manslaughter in connection with the deadly shooting, court filings show.
The victim was on a covered front porch with family members at a residence in Comanche when she was shot Thursday afternoon, according to the probable cause affidavit. She was holding a baby in her left arm while seated on a love seat when she was struck in her right upper arm, according to the affidavit. The bullet then entered her chest cavity, it said.
Disagree, arms can absolutely be used to resist tyranny. Look at any resitance movement in history. They were effective. French resistance, Viet Cong, Taliban, etc.
Each of these were far out gunned, but they won. In the case of the French resistance is probably more accurate to say they were effective then the allies showed up, but still.
There’s more of a lack of willingness to rebel in the US. Power works, people have food, and the largest demographic of the population isn’t being shipped off by ICE.
Did you know that many 20th century historians argue that the French resistance was irrelevant to the outcome of the occupation? The Tienanmen Square protesters had captured stockpiles of small arms, how’d that go? There is no debate about the Black Panthers, Weather Underground, or any other left movement willing to do violence. They were all crushed by the US Government. I’m sorry to report, but Hampton was wrong: you can kill a revolution by killing revolutionaries.
If you’re interested in history, I’d point out that successful revolutions are often accompanied by military defectors. The military guys will bring the guns. (and the ability to actually fight, unlike the average GI Jabroni)
The Bolsheviks are a good example. They started the revolution with the workers and peasants, because that’s the only way to start a revolution, but when the government turns the military on its own people they could then recruit them to the revolution.
A small force occupying an urban square will not work. And was not the methods used by any group I mentioned. Yes if you sit in one spot superior numbers and technology always win.
Which is why every example I gave you didn’t do that. Tactics do matter. Some revolutions succeed some do not. Either way you need guns
