Wow, this has never happened before.
Seems a blue-check ‘Hollywood’ type named Josh Fox wants to take guns away from everyone. We suppose we should just be impressed that Josh is being honest about wanting to repeal the Second Amendment …
Nah.
What do you expect from the director of ‘Gasland.’?
Thread. I’m so sick of shootings in #Nola. I’m so sick of police shootings. I’m so sick of shootings in the USA. I’m so sick of shootings that I’m gonna say this very clearly: repeal the 2nd Amendment right now. Take the guns away from everyone. Including/especially the cops. https://t.co/zDBoAWrmXD

This is the thread that inspired Josh to rally against the Second:
Cops just shot a man in his car on the corner of Bourbon Street and Iberville in New Orleans
Around the corner from where I was having dinner.

The state of the driver is unclear. A young man was taken alive from the car. It is unknown whether the person removed was the driver of the car or a passenger.
— [Harm To Ongoing Matter] (@absurdistwords) May 31, 2019
Police are calling this an active crime scene.
As far as I can tell, a car drove the wrong way up a one way street.
So cops opened fire. That's it.

I don't know the race of the driver. Doesn't really matter.
I just watched white cops shoulder to shoulder with Black cops to keep everyone from seeing that they opened fire on a busy city street over a moving violation.

Update.
From witnesses. It seems that the driver may have been impaired and may have been in danger of hitting someone.
Witnesses state that the force used was still wholly unnecessary.
— [Harm To Ongoing Matter] (@absurdistwords) May 31, 2019
Well, glad those witnesses are legal experts and stuff.
Every Black person I talked to said that NOLA police are particularly murderous.
The most common interaction:
"What happened?"
"Police just shot a guy in his car"
:: rolls eyes :: "Oh well of course. That's how they do here"
— [Harm To Ongoing Matter] (@absurdistwords) May 31, 2019
I hope the driver is ok.
I'm inclined to believe that the way they shut down two whole square blocks of the busiest section of the city during dinner rush means that he is not.
I hope I am wrong.
— [Harm To Ongoing Matter] (@absurdistwords) May 31, 2019
A follow up …
I do not know at all that he was Black. The only person I saw removed from the car was white but I was quickly moved out of sight https://t.co/c9S6S7UF0B

BUT COPS ARE RACIST.
Imagine calling for every American to lose their Second Amendment rights after reading this silly thread.
Talk about a self-important, annoying a-hole.
Give it your best shot..

I'm sick of people being killed by cars. Drunk drivers. Sober drivers. Take cars away from everyone. I'd arrest car manufacturers before I arrested a 14 year old who shouldn't have had access to a car & killed someone.

+70% of all homicides occur in 1.7% of US cities. #2A, safe, responsible, legal use & ownership, is not to blame. If you’re sick of the crime you’ve a narrowly defined starting point – getting criminals to stop shooting each other. The world awaits your solution.

Wheeeee!! Then only the criminals with bad intentions will be armed – sound good to you??? ???
— So_Right (Regina) (@yeLLoPHLame) May 31, 2019
That's what they done in Venezuela – how's that working out for them now?
— Glenn Amurgis (@gamurgis) May 31, 2019
Oof.
Good luck with that Josh. I'm sure everyone will hand them right over.

Totally.
