The terms haven't been released yet, but apparently Edgar Maddison Welch has been offered a plea deal. I really don't understand this unless the terms of the deal are very harsh. I can't imagine a more open and shut case than this one. It would be an easy conviction.

Very misleading to describe him as "shooter" in the title.[/quote]

Why?[/quote]

Because he didn't shoot at anyone, not even close.

He used his gun to break a lock and open a door.

He was deranged, but not like one of those actual shooters who go to a school and kill 30 kids. It is obvious that neither his actions nor his intentions have anything to do with that.[/quote]

Didn't he shoot the weapon?  So he's a shooter.

If he went into a school and killed 30 kids (or even 1), he'd be called a murderer since that kind of trumps shooter in importance.[/quote]

When I was 12, I shot a weapon. In a public space (at a pole in a farm, and people were around, behind me). Does that make me a shooter?

There is a reason the media is not calling him that. He isn't, according to the most common uses of the term.

But feel free to use misleading terms...not sure what you win with it, but it's your right to free speech.

YES YOU WERE the shooter of that gun, just like he is THE SHOOTER.  Why are you so stuck on this?  Seems stupid.[/quote]
