Interesting that this should happen in the current fiscal crisis

[pissant]

Good thing they don’t allow you to carry guns in Britain, this could have turned ugly. /s

[hinckley buzzard]

Too bad he didn’t have the option of concealed carry. All that money and he couldn’t even defend himself on his own street.

[ExpatGator]

Wow. Good thing he did not have a concealed carry weapon or someone could have been hurt.

[ExpatGator]

Jeeze ‘ant, ya just beat me!

[Myynnxx]

So sad. Trying to do the right thing, and he gets killed. Very sad.

[ExpatGator]

We are starting to think like The Borg.

[Abigail Adams]

What kind of mob, I wonder?

[pissant]

It’s one thing to get outdrawn by Pissant, but the Buzzard was faster too. ;o)

[Pravious]

Boy, you people are cold.

Personally, it looks like the guy went out of his way to try and help someone in trouble and ended up dead for it, and I think that truly sucks.

[clintonh8r]

Sadly, England is becoming a very dangerous place, because of both street crime and an ever more oppressive government.

May God comfort this poor man's family.

[oblomov]

Let me guess...Youths?

[Drango]

Thank you Mr McGarahan for standing tall. Some here on FR will mock your death. I’m thankful for you.

[edcoil]

I wonder if saying dark skinned youth would get you banned. Try and email me tomorrow.

[jokyfo]

Just the time to whip out the “Street Sweeper” (sawed-off double barreled shotgun)

[ExpatGator]

It is sad. I’m a gunsmith and gunshop owner and it makes me sad to see victims made of good people who are disbarred the use of arms. I’ve become a bit cynical, as evidenced by my reply, but my heart goes out to his family and friends.

[what's up]

Very sad.

Very sad. A real hero, yet many are poking fun.

Some very cold-hearted attitudes here lately.

[ExpatGator]

I’m slippin’ in me auld age.

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

The members of the mob should be hunted down, tried, executed and their bodies hung in chains along the roadside as a warning to other scumbags. Will never happen of course, but they did do some things right in the old days....

Can’t wait for all our British members to jump in and tell us how much better it is in England without the CCW laws. ;-)
