Firearms instructor Darryl Montague, shot by student at Vermont firing range.

[SecularMotion]

The suspect, Veronica Lewis, 31, of Worcester, Vt., arrested shortly after the shooting, has been charged with first-degree attempted homicide. She pleaded not guilty to the charge the following day and is being held without bail.

Montague said the shooting occurred during the middle of Lewis's second lesson with her husband. The woman's motive was a simple one, she said.

"She wanted the gun, she shot him with his gun and took it," Montague said. "It was a random interaction, it had no relationship to him at all. He was just a means to an end. It was that cold."

The Burlington Free Press reported that Lewis is subject to an order out of New York that prevents her from possessing or purchasing a firearm, court records show.

1. If only that instructor had had a gun..............

[friendly_iconoclast]

3. If only you two could express some concern for the shooting victim.....

Mustn't let some silly thing like empathy get in the way of an important agenda, eh?

4. Your sympathy overflows

A thimble- assuming it was already full of water

12. Controllers only care about victims they deem worthy. Young, white, and suburban are best...

...non-whites are acceptable when mediagenic and/or victims of a white perpetrator.

Urban victims are only useful en masse in order to provide statistics, while gun owners (or even those merely seeking to buy a gun for self defense) are 'beyond the pale'

5. I notice you cherry picked

only the paragraphs that addressed the criminal. You skipped the first nine paragraphs about the victim.

Goes to show what you find important.

6. Would have been nice to show the gofundme in your post

A gofundme page, set up to defray those costs, had raised $26,500 by the time of publication. Click here for a link to the page, which includes periodic updates on Montague's progress.

7. Trashed, as is all of his/hers/its posts.

8. quite close to if not actually spamming the group

almost 1000 posts and the group SOP says discuss.

Discuss gun politics, gun control laws, the Second Amendment, the use of firearms for self-defense, and the use of firearms to commit crime and violence.

The poster refuses to discuss any of his posts that he cuts and pastes without even a comment.

Note to jurors, look for yourself to see is what I say is a true statement or not. I am sure this will be alerted on by my best friend. Hi

11. Yesterday, a DU member was directly called "a coward." Without provocation. Alert NOT hidden.

So, with all the talk on DU about "alert stalking," "ganging up," and "trolling," not withstanding, perhaps the rest of DU has found that corner in its collective psyche where once the peculiar pleasures of moral indignation play out, it can look both ways and tip toe through the Green Door and indulge all they want.

13. I would not call them a stalker

But I have had at least one member following my posts and pushing the alert button so I am very careful and try and post my side to the jury. It is normally an uphill battle fir any firearms owner here on DU.

16. discussion is up to those that ACTUALLY have an INTEREST in the RKBA

It's our fault for letting SM run the place....It's up to us to bring relevant content here and discuss it and ignore the spammy anti BS.

9. This has NO RELATION to gun rights/gun control issues. Send to True Crime. Trash it.

10. Any comment on this story?

Oh, wait..........
