Fair enough, fwiw I’m sorry about your grandad.
That’s not how this is supposed to work.
Shucks, I always thought that it was innocent until proven guilty…
If you had ever been in a situation similar to this, or even known someone that was in a similar situation, you would not be talking this way…
Whether or not the guy is guilty is of no consequence at this point.
I feel sorry for anyone that is pushed into this type of situation, regardless of their guilt or innocence.
What really gets me about this whole thing is that the DA would go along with this. I would have thought someone along the line would have had a little common sense left…
Right which is why police INVESTIGATE crimes.
Authorities obtained a search warrant and arrested Rusciolelli after he reportedly tried to flee on foot, reportedly armed with a loaded pistol. Rusciolelli’s letter did not comment on why he attempted to flee.
Even I know this is illegal in California. Sounds like much of his problems were of his own making. That said the man was in possession of illegal material in California, if he had the appropriate documentation…why the hell is he shooting himself?
More significantly the alternative theory is that the girlfriend lied and filed a false police report. Any evidence that she did? Isn’t she entitled to the same presumption of innocence?
Innocent until proven guilty doesn’t mean you’re immune from arrest.
That said, that cuts both ways…see my above response. The counter claim is that the girlfriend lied…isn’t she innocent until proven guilty?
See what I mean about critical thought?
In the article it said he has never been charged with a crime funny it didn’t mention his GF 
I wonder why??
Maybe he did threaten her maybe he didn’t but there is no evidence that he did according to the article other than his illegal firearms positions from the state of Komifornia which we all consider horse shit .
BTW my religion forbids suicide as it is a mortal sin.
But in my yrs I have known of three men to have done it all from sorry ass women that left them at a point of there life when they were down. None of them were facing charges of any kind just that they were broken from sorry ass women. My own brother in law attempted it after he found out his wife was cheating on him. Luckily he finally woke up to her shit after ward and dumped her.
First the article wasn’t concerned with evaluating what the evidence was or was not.
Second even in California, it’s generally considered preferable to probable cause to arrest someone.
Third I’ve lived in California, I know a lot of people who live in California, many of them are even gun owners. Funny that they’ve yet to report getting arrested for no reason.
Fourth, we agree the gun laws in California are horse shit but states do get to create whatever laws they want, especially if you take an originalist position on the 2nd Amendment (which among other things includes that the BoR only applies to the national government). This is why most states have a separate constitution from the National government. That said, vote with your feet…if you don’t like the gun laws in California…move. I know that I’ll never live there.
Fixed it for ya. I sure hope you don’t work in LE if you’re so blissfully ignorant of how the law is supposed to work. Especially your “critical thinking skills” if it “Sounds like much of his problems were of his own making”. Great deduction there Sherlock!
Perhaps you’d make a good counselor for the suicide prevention hotline? :rolleyes:
Looks like he was out of money, couldn’t afford a good defense.
Too nice of a guy to commit homicide I guess?
A distinction without a bit of difference. Surely you’re not so obtuse that you don’t understand what I’m talking about. The police investigate, the courts decide…this is due process. The man would have gotten his day in court.
The alternative is a de facto allegation that the police made an unlawful arrest? Even with a warrant? Possible perhaps…but no evidence or reason to believe that this is the case unless you know something I don’t?
Interesting take for someone who is supposedly in the know of how the law is “supposed” to work.
Nice try though. Thank you for playing.
Due process is only as good as the attorney representing you & for how long your money holds out!
Response to unlined part. Were any of them accused of Domestic abuse and turned in by GF or a wife with no apparent evidence ??
You are right you can move some else but we do not know what kept him there could be many reasons.
My point is very similar to Belmont31R posted link about the many laws that are out there that can get you brandied as a felon with out even knowing.
Its no big secret women can get more attention from government officials than say a male would claiming the same. Do you think they would have raided her house if he called in saying that she threatened him. From what I have witnessed in my life females get a lot more passes than males in this type of situation.
That what it sounds like to me.
If that were true, most people behind bars would be innocent. Haven’t you heard? They’re all innocent. :rolleyes:
The standard of the court system is not perfect justice, only that there is a process. Sometimes the process returns an incorrect result, more often than not, the right people go to jail.
Even the lowliest accused gets his day in court. That said virtually any defense attorney will take a case based on collateral like a $250K gun collection, a house, savings, whatever. I’ve even heard that the NRA will defend those they feel are unjustly accused.
Assuming of course said defendant doesn’t put a bullet in his head first.
Save your sympathy for someone who deserves it.
That the guy fled on foot with a loaded handgun…points to at least some knowledge that he was breaking the law. This is as illegal in PA as it is in CA. That’s what led to the warrant in the first place. He wasn’t walking down the street, minding his own business, carrying a legally concealed handgun.
That’s not the fault of the state creating laws, it’s not even about laws the guy was ignorant of.
The guy knew he was breaking the law…or at least his actions indicate that he did. That he couldn’t face the consequences of his actions, don’t really elicit much sympathy from me.
Wow.
Or he knew he was behind the 8 ball because the world is full of people like you and he didn’t feel like being the “innocent guy” in jail so he could at least control the outcome he chose.
Wow…either that or he knew he was guilty and couldn’t man up to pay for his crimes.
Which is more likely? Do you have any evidence that the police acted improperly? Do you have any evidence that the girlfriend lied?
No?
Let me know when you do…until then…tough fucking shit.
Sounds very much like somebody who has NEVER been there.
I think its supposed to be the other way around but what do I know?
And I didn’t post this to have a mock trial of this guy since he is dead.
I have as much evidence as you. I also never stated the police acted improperly. It just sounds like horseshit charges to me. I used to do criminal background checks for a living so I have seen a LOT of people who got railroaded by the ex.
I also don’t have a chip on my shoulder to think I am so superior that the only people who say “I can’t handle it anymore” and check out are all either guilty as sin or cowardly fuckers.
