Oh... I forgot..........

Tho I'm not second guessing BigBear with this statement I find it to be true..

The "Standard Thug" ( oh sure not ALL of them but 99.9%) know NOTHING about force escalation. If they had guns they would have come out BEFORE the knife. they pulled a knife ( and only one) cuz that's all they had on em .( if this is incorrect I'm sure BigBear can correct me) but that has always been my experience..

Anyone can feel free to correct me with stories of your own . I'd enjoy hearing them and learning new things :-)
