A North Carolina man is in custody after being accused of executing a Good Samaritan who tried to help him after spinning out in his car during the massive East Coast blizzard, the Charlotte Observer reports.
Marvin Jacob Lee, 27, was driving on Friday night when his car skid out due to weather conditions. Three men in a passing truck got out to help him, as did some neighbors in the area. But Lee began acting erratic and belligerent, prompting the Good Samaritans to back off and call police.
...
But as they tried calling authorities, Lee allegedly took out an automatic pisto(l) and began shooting at them.
The people who had been trying to help Lee started running away from the gunfire, but one man was struck and fell. The victim, identified by authorities as Jefferson Heavner, 26, was on the ground when Lee stood over him and shot him numerous times, the Observer reports.

The government sometimes squelches seditious speech but that doesn't abrogate the 1A.

My neighbor's cat and I can call ourselves a "militia," like fundy bundy. Doesn't make it so.
