Shame he didn't shoot Frank then himself tbh. Everybody wins that way and it's all still recorded for us to laugh at.

And it would have added another video to Nulls "Get this off the god damn internet" file. What could have been.

 

[seri0us]

He would get eaten alive in prison.

It would be the other way around.

 

[High Tea]

If he was too afraid to shoot Frank, he should have shot into the dirt. At least then they couldn't get him on being reckless with the bullet. He didn't get a restraining order, he came outside his house to meet him, went straight for a gun that wasn't his, he didn't have the have the person trained with the gun come out to address the situation, he shot without intent to stop an alleged attacker. How on earth is this self defense? Unless he's going to go with being mentally ill.
Edit - Still believe he would be charged but having a target, the ground, instead of shooting wildly into the air, he could claim he wasn't trying to hurt his neighbors.

 

[Marc83]

He’s fighting it!? If they play the Killstream
in court with Boogie begging Frank to come over so he can murder him, this will be the greatest timeline ever. Wow

 

[TV's Adam West]

Send him to the chair, fry em.

This is anecdotal, but when I was in high school this classmate who lived down the street from me discharged a firearm towards the ground in his backyard just goofing around. We lived on the same street as a school and were part of the school zone. He said because of this his punishment was initially going to be much more severe since basically they hardline any prosecution on crimes within school zones, meaning they push unusually harder for higher/maximum sentencing. Now he got off somewhat easy since he was under 18 and never actually threatened anyone, which I think they went with the option of first degree misdemeanor and a suspended sentence on probation. But he was originally facing a felony like Boogie, which is used in cases where you "created a substantial risk of physical harm to any person, caused serious physical harm to property, caused physical harm to any person, or caused serious physical harm to any person."

But Boogie being an adult, brandishing the firearm to intimidate someone who wasn't an immediate threat, and actually discharging it as well (supposedly in a school zone) makes me think they will stick to the felony route. Now maybe he can get a long suspended sentence with no prison time, but I have low expectations it will be dropped to a misdemeanor. Unless of course he throws tens of thousands of dollars their way and buys his freedom. I know laws apply differently the more money you have.

It would be the other way around.

Apologies if it’s been posted already, I didn’t see it. But Boogie2988 has entered a plea of not guilty.

"Your honor, that man in the video is fat. I have been on a weight loss journey for 4 years now and clearly could not be that fat."

 

[Doctor Ivo Robotnik Sr.]

THE FACT COPS TOLD HIM NOT TO ENGAGE FRANK HASSLE EVEN IF HE ENTERED THE HOUSE AND TO LEAVE OUT THE BACK. Maybe Boogie is in bigger trouble than we all thought

There is no way in hell that a prosecutor would do anything with that. No jury would convict a guy who shot someone breaking in to their house. Boogies problem was opening the door and coming outside.

Would certainly put a dent in the argument he feared for his life, making the discharge of the gun all the more reckless.

Sure, but he was already getting fucked in that regard.

Well Edison did electrocute an elephant so I suppose it's feasible although I'm not sure the local power grid would withstand the strain.

 

[Lame Entropy]

He should have shot Frank when he had the chance.

 

[Doodle]

He can’t claim self defense, because he didn’t shoot with intent to kill his supposed attacker. It doesn’t matter how much danger he claims he was in, he didn’t use the gun in a way that would justify such a claim.

If he’s going full retard not guilty, there is not much hope left he’ll escape jailtime.

Here’s the “I shot a guy” flowchart:
1. “I fired in the air as a warning anywhere except the middle of nowhere” = reckless disregard for human life
2. “I shot with intention to wound” = assault with a deadly weapon
3. “I shot with intention to kill, but he survived” = possible you escape criminal charges, you still might be raped in civil court for pain and suffering
4. “I shot with intention to kill and he died, it was him or me” = prosecution may try to make an example of you and even in the best circumstance you’re looking at a lengthy investigation, intruders, family might still try to rape you in civil court

America might preach a right to self defense, but it’s only implied and if you do try to use it you better be prepared for all the court cases that follow. There is no “I shot a gun, tee hee, please forgive me Judge”. Not anymore.

I pretty much agree with everything here, which is why I was interested in what justification do they have in pleading not-guilty. If it is self-defense I think it will be funny to see how Boogie tries to spin it given the video evidence (and unfortunate statements made beforehand like "I will fucking kill you and take pleasure doing it")

One possibility is that the Arkansas statute for aggravated assault only specifies "displaying" a firearm (not discharging). It's conceviable that Boogie and his lawyer will try to use this ambigious wording to their advantage.

I don't think the judge will buy it but we will see what they come up with.

 

[ddlloo]

Sure, but he was already getting fucked in that regard.

Yes, but I imagine part of his strategy might be to try to argue the charge/penalty down due to him being scared for his life. TBQH as dumb as warning shots are I can understand how people could genuinely be very scared for their safety and still not be able to bring themselves to take a life.

To argue it down to a lesser charge.

 

[Cum Laudely]

It would be the other way around.

You would be correct eating him would be like eating whale blubber. All that lose skin and fat it would be like chewing on rubber.

 

[AssDust]

this guy will be a waddling anxiety bomb till may 28th when he finds out his fate.

I doubt he makes a video before this to cash in, but he will on the outcome. Perhaps this is why he enabled a tip jar on twitter.

 

[Pill Cosby]

Boogie shouild try this fat fuck's defense:

If he pled guilty, he'd basically be hoping they sentence him nicely; at least this way, he can negotiate. Most likely he has no intentions of taking it to court, you just can't negotiate if you don't plead not guilty. If you're not familiar with criminal proceedings, this is a pretty normal sort of thing, and it's expected by the prosecutor.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Boogie is the kind of person who simply cannot be reasoned with, so even if what you have laid out is the most sound strategy for him going forward - will his legal counsel be able to convince him it's the way to go?

My thinking is that Boogie genuinely believes all the nonsense he spews, and for that reason will actually want to get off on this despite the fact that he has committed some crime without a shadow of a doubt.
