2. If he demonstrated to the mob that his weapon was unloaded, the threat of death or great bodily harm is gone for everyone and the whole statute becomes inapplicable.  I disagree that he would be dead.  If the mob believed that he wasn't about to shoot anyone else, they would have surrounded him and called the cops to pick him up.  They beat on him because he was still shooting them.  Just like all those internet tough guys said they would have done to James Holmes or Patrick Crusius, had they been there.

I don’t post much, but mikesez; you’re a clown. I really hope you’re not a lawyer because I’d rather take the greenest public defender or represent myself than allow myself in your presence in a courtroom. Holy crap
