re: #183 Targetpractice

Was reading just earlier that the gunman in Clackamas stayed over at the house of the friend whose gun he stole to go on his little rampage. Apparently in the weeks prior, he’d been talking about moving and selling all his stuff online. The night prior to the shooting, he tells his friend he needs to leave and he needs a gun. His friend, who apparently in retrospect felt all of that odd, did not take any action to secure his rifle.

Personally, I think in such a scenario, your ass should be sitting in front of a jury as at least an accomplice.

I’d be more inclined to call the charge Involuntary Manslaughter than Accessory Before the Fact, but that’s just me trying to figure out exactitudes.
