Two African-American knockout-style attackers in Charlottesville were immediately released on their own recognizance and only charged with a misdemeanor after an assault on a man and woman in a downtown shopping mall on December 20.

Police Chief Longo, who arrested the assailants, said there is evidence of the male victim losing a tooth and suffering soft tissue damage but he would need evidence of more serious injuries to raise the charges. The injuries were far more serious than that according to the victims.

In the meantime, these two assailants didn’t even have to post bail.

The police department never used the female victim’s photos snapped during the attack to help identify the attackers and didn’t assign the case to a detective until ten days after the attack.

Good luck, but the problem is that cities also do not look kindly on legal gun-owners. They may be surprised, but you may be surprised by the trouble you’re in if you use it. Take care.

this is the risk if our so called justice system fails to protect people....there’s going to people going off the deep end and killing several people....similar to the bullied kid in school who wants to get justice from all those who bullied him...
