Reilly, 48, told the victim "to get off his property," and then Reilly allegedly fired multiple shots at the driver while he was trying to leave in his car, police said.
The driver was shot once in the back and hospitalized with serious injuries, police said. He's currently in stable condition, police said on Tuesday.
While he was leaving. In the back. Fucking psychopaths are excited to shoot someone and praying for a scenario.
Hammers looking for nails.
I hope the door dash dealer sues and gets a massive settlement. That arms dealer should be in prison for a long time. Or tons of community service.
Your first instinct was correct. Lock them up. They are dangerous.
who is a federally licensed firearms dealer
Of all the people who should understand the law. Jesus. They don't hand out FFLs like fucking candy.
Tell you what my right-wing conceal-carry instructor told us (paraphrased), "You better make damned sure you are in fear of your life and weigh that against 20-to-life in a concrete and steel cage, because that might well be the outcome, even if you were justified."
I could have "stood my ground" and smoked my MAGA neighbor the other night. He came stomping down to my house to kick my ass. Sounds good on paper, but money says I'd be in a cell right now praying the case goes my way.
Some of these guys are just itching to kill someone
"Don't pull it if you're not going to use it."
Literally.
And I'm not a gun "enthusiast," and I know that.
I'm not kidding, I think we're getting dementia on a societal level from microplastics and I'm worried it might be too late to turn back.
COVID-19 probably a big cause (vascular dementia from mini strokes) though micro plastics can't help
There is certainly scientific evidence to back that up:

Edit:
Although, I think that another major factor at play is due to overpopulation and the effects of that as shown by various experiments, including those conducted by Dr Calhoun.
Reproductions of those experiments don't reliably work, and it's very questionable whether the results can be transferred to humans, who have very different social structures.
This is kinda like that "alpha wolf" experiment.
Increased CO2 in the atmosphere also has a negative effect on brain power. And CO2 is increasing every year.
The entire global population could fit into Nevada at the population density of Manhattan (a city borough with nearly 100,000 vacant housing units). We don't have an overpopulation problem, we have a resource distribution problem.
I really don't think that overcrowding is doing it. Look at the United States, we're absolutely sprawled out as a motherfucker. Modesto looks like a bomb went off that blew away everything taller than one floor. We're suffering from a huge loneliness epidemic.
Maybe instead it's the perception of crowdedness? It could be that we're only wired to receive a certain amount of social stimulation, and at that, from a fairly small group. The Internet has stuck a stick of dynamite in that and blown it all over the beach. Maybe it's just more than we're wired to cope with?
Our natural habitat consists of living in tribes of roughly 100-120 people as hunter-gatherers. How could people not have difficulty functioning in this modern world?
What problems would be solved by making it so that you are unlikely to ever know more than a couple hundred people?
Not differencing but the photo shows a very much uncrowded residence.
Society rewards psychopaths too often.
"John Reilly III, who is the Town of Chester highway superintendent, police said."
Almost a mayor but not
Well of course a hammer salesman thinks he looks like a nail.
Fuck this wannabe Fuzzy Lumpkins
