A 23-year-old man had been out of prison for barely two months when authorities said he pulled out two handguns during a fight at a Ridgeville home and sparked an exchange of gunfire that ultimately led to his death.
A man who returned fire and killed 23-year-old Ishmel Taquan Rivers on Sunday was acting in self-defense, according to initial evidence gathered by the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office. Rivers, who died shortly after at Trident Medical Center, recently completed a prison term for an involuntary manslaughter conviction tied to a 2012 shooting, state records show. |

How many future innocent lives will now saved by this young criminal's demise? Bet those won't show up in any anti-gunners statistics. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
