He described Lemp as a libertarian who frequented the 4chan and Reddit message boards, sites popular with internet trolls.

I’d want to hear all the witness statements and most importantly we need to see the body camera footage and/or any recordings.

Its very disturbing that nobody in the house heard any police commands prior to them opening fire. The article didn’t say why he was prohibited from owning a firearm. Also the article said firearms were recovered “from the house”...ie his parents house where his brother also lived....not that those firearms were in his possession.

Seems like he got swatted by somebody that doesn’t like his views.

It’s Maryland, it’ll get swept under the rug.

If not, a fair investigation will probably reveal that the charges were bogus and the real purpose was to intimidate anyone not a liberal Democrat.

Caucasian, per the article.

Even if he had been black, you shouldn’t be calling him a dindu nuffin without reading the article and finding cause to do so.

21 and shot dead in his parents’ house.

I think you’re right. I’ll bet he fought with some degenerate liberal on Reddit. They figured out who he was and called a SWAT team on him.

I fought many liberal animals on that site ... On several occasions, I’d get notice from Reddit that someone was trying to get into my account and that my password needed to be changed. I’ll bet they got into the victim’s account.

I’m not condoning the cop’s actions by the way. That piece of garbage should have to pay for this guy’s murder. If I’m right and some pimple prick liberal trash called a SWAT team on this guy, that subhuman needs a decade or two in jail.

I read the article. Saw his picture. Major detail absent though. Why he was “prohibited” from possessing firearms.

You nailed it. Welcome to the Maryland Soviet Republic.

Just dial 1-800-SNITCH! and you don’t even have to give your name.

Been there. Marylanders are different when it comes to guns.

How would the police react if people started shooting into their homes at 0430 based on rumors?

Good question.

They also say that no one in the house had a police record.

So there should have been no reason why he could not own firearms.

an eyewitness gave a “completely contrary” account of the shooting. She said police could have “absolutely no justification” for shooting Lemp based on what she has heard about the circumstances.

Police could have “absolutely no justification”? What she has heard about the circumstances? Eyewitness? Something not computing there.
