Armed OC Citizen Shoots Robber in the Act

[dalegg 143]

Jesus Christ the guy wasn't even killed! How can you think this is bad?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Its the puerile "you too can be a hero too" attitude that is being promoted.

Its not the first time this has been done - shooter has posted a few of these stories with the same questionable editorial attached to them.

[dalegg 143]

Well, if you carry a gun and are in the right place at the right time..you can be!

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I think that's not far removed from the thing about men driving expensive cars as an extension of their ####### - or for instance, gang members brandishing and shooting off guns because it gives them a reputation.

Puerile, as I said.

but that won't happen with some, they dislike guns and think their mouth can talk themselves out of anything anywhere.

Problem with Pike is, he suffers from "Little Girl syndrome".

He thinks everyone is sensitive like a little girl over these things just because he is

Look bottom line.... someone needed to be shot and someone else was prepared to do it.

So often we hear these armed robberies end with a clean get away or a "near getaway" via the legal system.

I am glad this guy got shot and it's a good-a-time as any to hollar Ye'haw!

NOw let me ask MC and Pike, don't you too feel a little satisfaction when it's the criminal laying on the floor?

[Peikko 1,575]

Exactly what sort of a Christian are you Danno?

To answer your question, no, I derive no pleasure/satisfaction from the suffering of others - be they criminals or innocent bystanders.

You see, it's the "Little girl syndrome".

LITTLE GIRL: I don't want ANYONE to get hurt.

Let's see if Ole Pike is with you on this one..... (as if we have to ask).

As for my brand of Christianity, I guess it's "old school"

maybe ... they just want to see victims so they can be sorry ....

Maybe the bad guys will fall asleep listening to the endless litany of apologies and self-effacing concessions

and explanations of how "certain assumptions" and "dubious prejudgements" are all wrong.

I seem to remember saying fairly early on that I'm glad that noone was seriously injured - in fact I wrote it (though that of course would involve you actually reading what I wrote

My only position of this was with the politically motivated armchair glorification that is being promoted in the preamble to the article. The story is being used as ammunition to justify why everyone should carry a gun.

You can call that "little girl syndrome" if you want, Danno - but the fact is that this rationale (and you) are very juvenile.

Again - I said all this previously, if you cared to actually read what I wrote.

But you didn't.

I'll bet he'll think twice before he robs another store, after he gets out of prison. If he lives.
