I wasn't suggesting hiding or cowering in fear. I was suggesting that it might be a good time to exercise his 2nd Amendment rights, if he hasn't done so already. Living where he does, it seems to me to be a prudent precaution even if one has -not- testified.
Way out in the country where I live, it's not so much of an issue of safety as of hunting or plinking (I've got a couple of rifles, no handguns at present). But today, if I lived in or near a big city, I'd get a CCW permit.
I'm not nearly as adept with a large knife as Mick Dundee, and anyway, it's not wise to bring even a large knife to a gun fight. :)
Just a guess, but I'd say even his buddy gangsters ain't coming to his rescue...Ya see, even the gangsters have codes and degrees of respect...I'm pretty confident this little AH was not doing conducting gang business when he decided to kidnap and molest a little 8 year old girl. In other words, the guy is not a respectable gangster, and likely just made himself a target of his own people...
