I didn’t see much about Williams escalating things on that thread. Don’t disagree with your comments, you’re right about the risk about not firing on someone armed in flight, he can turn quickly and effectively. And that action could place you in legal jeopardy in many states. Probably better to keep comments on the other thread there. I might not have fired while they fled, but I don’t have any problems with your assessment of the situation or Williams.
Yeah, you’re right, not many comments in that vein, but it just rubbed me the wrong way. When the panic’s on, clear judgment is hard to come by. I was very impressed by the man’s steadiness and firm resolve under pressure. Sort of thing I saw in my WWII vet dad a couple of times when things got ugly — though Williams is too young for WWII AND Korea, he might be an early Nam alumnus.
