I was ‘speaking’ to the author of that statement in the article posted.
You did read the article that you posted, right?
...or were you in too great a hurry to get the headline on to the FR feed?
I apologize for my error. Yes, I did read the article before posting it. Sometimes the comments overlap, as well as my answers. That is what I thought had happened. My mistake. Please forgive me.
I did consider waiting to post this article until today, but it was either this one, or a whole slew of attacks that turned up in the feeds about pit bull attack victims defending themselves with knives - —vs firearms, which is what produced a discussion of the relative merits of various dog attack defenses. I thought this one was especially interesting because of the age of the good samaritan.
