What would be a good plan to help someone being attacked?
TNoldman

Posted on 04/14/2015 5:29:39 PM PDT by TNoldman

May question is raised after I saw News Reports of a girl being raped by 4 guys while others on the beach watched.

I am 80 and generally carry a 1911 concealed. What if I come on a similar situation? I would call 911... then what?

Try to get others involved to stop the attack? Shooting an attacker might be excessive.. also I may be in the midst of a mob.

I would like to see some discussion.

Good thing he has a pistol. That way he can shoot multiple rapists in just a few seconds, before they have time to check his ID.

I know 75-85 year old men that I'm guessing now could out work your butt.

Quit being an ass.........

So don't be a jerk yourself. I don't like being lied to, and I say something when I think I'm being jerked around.

And you know you've been lied to here?

How?

Oh look, the third tag-team shill has arrived. I know - why don't I just go ahead and repeat everything I said in the thread for your benefit because I'm so incensed over your personal insults to me and I want to defend myself against your unfair attacks. Seeing, you know, how you've triggered my reaction response through your masterful use of neurolinguistic programming. LOL!

Shills are bad enough, but then some of them have to be second-level backups when the first ones crap out. You, on the other hand, are third level. I don't ever think I've ever seen a third level shill. Are you an apprentice, or do you just totally suck at what you do, but as a government worker they can't fire you?

Bwahahahaha!

So you would just walk up and start shooting.

What if you are wrong about it being a rape?

What if the girl is a willing participant?

You don’t bother to find out first, you just start shooting right.

Let’s assume for the sake of the argument you aren’t a senile old fool and you decide to find out first before you start shooting.

Now you’re an 80 yo with a pistol surrounded by 3-4 20 something yo thugs ready to kill you.

Since you sound so thoroughly dangerous tell me how you take all 3-4.

I would love to be educated by a thoroughly dangerous pistolero.

I didn’t mean to cause hysteria. But I must say your emotion about all this suggests maybe you favor the rapists.

Okay, you wanted to make yourself known to me - you did.

No backsies.

I have no clue what “backsies” means. Sounds like something spoken by elementary school girls.

You really have issues...and I think most here know it.

You can and will have the last word.
