Wow, you really need to take chill pill.
I don’t know why you launched on me, but I guess its a personal thing.
Reread my whole post. Go back and look at the vid of the old coot shoot AT PEOPLE LAYING ON THE GROUND RUNNING AWAY.
I don’t know what you think, but the THREAT WAS NEUTRALIZED.
He’s lucky he wasn’t held over for attempted manslaughter.
And no, your calling another poster a JackA@@. Who the HELL are YOU to make such A JUDGMENT?
Drunken keyboarding can get you in a world of trouble. Just saying.
Have a good evening. Call me in the morning.
First, I was calling the editorial writer a jackass, not the poster. Obviously, you're not too familiar with the ways and protocols of FReeping.
Who I am is someone who knows a little something about firearms, that doesn't trot out imagination and speculation, then illegitimately claim it an "opinion."
Opinion presumes you know something about that which you opine.
The reason I "launched" on you is because you not only presumed to choose my verbage for me, but also draw conclusions based on a superficial knowledge of the subject matter as if you actually knew what you were talking about.
For example, a retreating threat is not "neutralized"; an incapacitated threat is neutralized. Do they not have the concept of "turning around" where you come from?
Florida is not a "duty to retreat" state. As such, when involved in a deadly force encounter, the intelligent procedure is to continue firing until the threat is no longer able to fight, not until the threat retreats. Only a moron or a lawyer would advise ceasing fire on a clearly mobile threat you've already shot!
Could you explain how you determined that?
Was either criminal unconscious?
Was either criminal permanently disarmed?
Was it possible to tell whether either criminal had additional weapons concealed on their persons?
If somebody I cared about was standing next to me I would not have assumed that the criminals were unable to renew their threat to commit murder. After all, that is what armed robbery is all about; give me your valuables or I will kill you.
