In West Allis, there is a 67% chance that the woman on the ground and the perp vote democrat. And a 99% chance if they happened to be black. Not sure I would risk my life and liberty to save any democrat from anything. And don’t tell me that the experience might change their point of view - it won’t, lefty thought is a genetic defect.
Posts and attitudes like this are NOT good, just my two cents.
I’m with you. I live and work among Democrats and liberals, and they can change. Anybody can, as God grants it. It’s not my call to decide whether someone should live or die based on their political beliefs. We are all made in God’s image. And if it comes to open war, there are rules for that. But its better to make peace when you can, and when you’re armed, you can. Generally speaking.

It does not take much imagination to come up a scenario where this situation could have gone very badly for the marine. If the two people fighting are married, the woman could suddenly come to the perp’s defense once the cops arrive and give a story that makes the marine the aggressor. The perp could have attacked the marine using his bare hands and put the marine in the same situation as Zimmerman - especially if the perp is black. Or what if the perp is mentally disabled in some fashion - “armed marine attacks mentally handicapped man”. Bottom line is that the marine did a well intentioned but foolish thing. It could have ended very badly for him. It would have been much smarter to stay at a distance and call the cops, no matter how slow they are about responding. In my opinion, the danger in interfering goes up significantly when you are in a community that does not share your philosophical beliefs or attitudes. I do not want to go to the edge to defend a left wing progressive only to have that person, who fundamentally disagrees with me every important issue including personal responsibility, accuse me of being the problem. I don’t trust them and I won’t fight for them.
