If having an open mind makes me on the wrong side, there is no right side.

I didn't say he did nothing; the word nothing is not in my post. Cowering in fear is something. Your argument is a straw man.
But you have a right to your opinion.
So, how 'bout that sheriff? Pretty good guy huh? Really showed that damn NRA what's up. He's no coward; he stood up to the real bad guys. Do you have an open mind about him?
Edit: I should add that I'm kind of having fun with this discussion now. And I probably shouldn't be, since it's a serious subject. I respect your opinion; I just think you're flat out wrong.

There is no getting around it: he was there to protect the kids, he knew they were being killed, and he stayed out of the fight.

Maybe splitting hairs, but still. Yeah, im just having fun as well. Pointing out that everyone should have an opportunity for for fair judgement and not being lynched and then having you argue against it is comical to me. I can not make you think, only you can.
Mntnman:
Every post that I have made on the forum follows the same principles.
You kinda like to shoot from the hip at times. That’s ok. There’s still room to learn that way. ;)

The part of my quote you put in bold was not made in reference to the coward deputy, it was made in reference to a hypothetical thing I might have done, in order to make a point; it was not even implied that it was in reference to the coward, and that should have been clear (except to those looking for an excuse to distort my words). So you were not splitting hairs, you pretended a hair existed where none did. That's called a straw man argument. I expect that from liberals, but not from a fellow patriot. You should be better than that. And if you do want to stoop to sleazy debate tactics like that, at least try to do a better job of it.
We know enough to know what he did, and didn't do. If there was some doubt I would give him the benefit of that doubt, as I said earlier. But no such doubt exists. Unless maybe some alien spacecraft beamed a paralysis beam down on him or something.
Mntnman:
No, it implies you doing nothing as well the way I read it and my reading comprehension is very high.
I am not arguing a straw man. I am clearly saying that your position on this is exactly the same as those crying that Mike Brown was murdered with his hands up. You don’t know the facts, you just assume you do. Pretty sad that a liberty minded patriot feels that publicity lynching someone is the “right” side and someone saying that he deserves due process is wrong.
I don’t know what actually happened. You don’t either. In the meantime let’s publicly condemn him!
Not my bag, Baby...
