This was a big city he was in, according to his tale.
Why would you presume that anyone rescued from being a victim of a crime by a stranger willing to use deadly force on their behalf would be appreciative?
Heck, try to imagine that you pull a gun on some ruffians intent on robbing some pinch-faced woman who just happens to be the president and CEO of the 'National Coalition To Ban Handguns'? Think she's going to back up your story in front of the police? Why, it was that cowboy (you) with his gun that actually *escalated* the violence, she'd be obligated to say.
Your CCW license is not license to pretend you're Spiderman. In fact, Spiderman got in all sorts of legal trouble for his deeds, usually thanks to that liberal-assed narcissist newspaper editor J. Jonah Jameson that he worked for down at the Daily Bugle.
Good post yours (#36) KG9. Thanks. I thought about reminding the poster who criticized me that I was greatly outnumbered. And, as I had mentioned, I was unarmed.
Perhaps calling the police wasn't the way to go. Perhaps I should have attacked the entire group. After all, I've seen Chuck Norris do that many times. It always worked for him.
He was considering going in ALONE AND UNARMED into an altercation with several people over someone who was getting robbed. I think it is ridiculous to consider throwing your life away over MONEY, and not even your own money. That is why I said his priorities are out of alignment. His first priority is to think of his family who depends on him. While every good citizen would want to help the mugging victim get his money back, it would have turned out very badly if he had stepped in.
