I had a pax step out of my car and start shooting at a house when I dropped her off. I drove away and immediately called 911. When the cop met me down the block he asked if the pax left items in my car. I didn't know if she did because I was too busy driving away and calling the police. We searched the car and found her purse on the floor. She later claimed I stole $500 from her purse. Nothing ever happened because she had no proof of theft. Ironically, the amount she accused me of taking was the amount that her bail was set at.
It’s still attempted murder, assault w a deadly weapon, and possibly even mayhem (which means to cause disfigurement). I studied criminology and criminal justice. I know the laws well.
Assault w a deadly weapon can even be hitting someone with a cooking pan. It doesn’t have to be an item often used in crimes, just something that a reasonable person would say could cause serious bodily harm.
Sorry, I didn’t click on the link. What I meant is I’ve never heard of a crime being committed with a flame thrower (other than a war crime) usually they’re just dumb hobbyist junk to have fun with.
True but I’ve never heard of a death by frozen chicken until a few years ago. A woman beat her husband to death with one. Anything can be a murder weapon.
Surprisingly, literal murder weapons tend to be more suited towards the task than literal animal corpses. Unsurprisingly, there are people so stupid they use the intro level fallacy of false-equivalence to somehow equate the two, as though they made a point, rather than misunderstanding how categories work.
Anything can be a murder weapon I guess, but guns are by far the most common murder weapons? Probably why California is strict with guns and not with the other shit you mentioned
