I'm reading it as, if you don't shut up. Someone's gonna put something around your neck and do it for you.

A bag of weed and drop him off at the mall ?

The sad thing is......
1: Video shows some twathead too busy eating his popcorn while a threat passes him.

#2 and this is an important one. Another member was on site (or so it reads to me) and went the other way. While it's their prerogative to do so. HOW can we say If a Good Guy with a Gun was There. When possibly there was a Good Guy with a Gun.

Sitting by while violent acts go unchecked is another reason we've gone so far down the shitter.

So if I see something like this in the LUU (Liberal Urban Utopia), grab some popcorn and Coke, you're going to call me a twathead?

I guess I've been called worse...

Each person must face their own conscience and answer for their own actions and failure to act.

Do not let this thread deteriorate into name calling and recriminations.

At least in this case, no one was seriously injured and the suspect was arrested and has been charged with a crime.

Be safe.

Depends on your feed back

Our member said when he exited the building he heard yelling only. Not an unusual occurrence on the mall.

For the record, I was joking with kazoo. I know that wasn't directed at anyone here.

There was a time (likely since I've been on this earth), that I would have had no problem intervening to aid bystanders in whatever way I was justified. That time is no more, things have changed, both in this country and in my life. I'm now married with two precious little boys, I cannot afford the potential civil liability involved with defending folks who I don't know from Adam, it is THEIR choice to not prepare to defend themselves.

It's unfortunate that it has to be that way, but my family needs me and the little bit of money I have. The George Zimmerman debacle told me everything I need to know about justified lethal force.
