Suspect jailed in shooting of 2 brothers in Fresno


FRESNO, Calif.—Fresno police say a man wanted in connection with a shooting that injured a 23-year-old man and his 5-year-old brother with the same bullet has turned himself in.

The Fresno Bee reports that 43-year-old Ernest Smith was booked in Fresno County Jail on Friday on suspicion of attempted murder and several other charges related to the May 16 incident.

Police say Smith got into a dispute with the older victim and shot him in the stomach. The bullet passed through the man's body and hit his younger brother in the mouth.

2. Your claimed right is not justified given the actual harm being suffered by society.

4. I'm sure he is an outstanding citizen.
Except for his mistaken belief that he should own guns and ammo.

5. I claim that right also, as do a lot more people than you would
like to admit to. You are fighting a losing battle, give it up.

7. Claiming it is one thing. Justifying it is another. Cannot endure. Too much misbehavior.

8. But none of that misbehavior was done by me
So why should I lose my rights? I am aware that you don't see it as a right but you are in the extreme minority on that and as long as that's the case there's really no point in even addressing that argument
