    As Andrew explained, threatening someone with a gun constitutes aggravated assault unless you can justify that action as self defense. Therefore, why was Cruz not arrested, charged, etc. by the police who were called after he did exactly that?

      You are correct. But I think I explained the reason why the Parkland shooter may not have been arrested or charged in the episode–family members and individuals he was living with may have refused to press charges or testify against him. That would mean there was no case to pursue against him, and thus no arrest and no guns being taken away.

      In one instance on November 29th, deputies were called to the home, but after speaking with the person that had placed the 911 call to begin with, he refused to press charges. Signed a “refusal to prosecute form” even. The individual said he didn’t want the Parkland shooter to go to jail, and that he had been going through a lot recently after the passing of his birth mother.

    Hi Riley, this subject is such a minefield but the interview definitely cleared a few things up. I nearly always opt for a non lethal defense product, as I travel state to state and can’t guarantee that I’ll be well versed in all the local laws.
