NOTHING!!!
Lack of motive?
Stop means nothing today

A strange question given the genocide of abortion. Killing the unborn is how it starts. After that all bets are off…
I am thinking there was an amendment to some old forgotten document that could be of some benefit to the hapless hiker.
Very interesting.
Moral equivalency and moral relativism is slowly killing us and rotting us.
There is something deliberate in it, especially when it creeps into our law and does make value judgements: eg, its ok to assault, burn and maim as a protest but not ok to raise a forceful defense against those who riot. One gets off scot free and the other is charged remorselessly.
WE do have to instill moral rights in our kids, even tho the forces of relativism deride those attempts.We won’t have any positive reinforcement from educators or popular culture, unlike in the past. Its a tough slog. One worth doing but maybe doomed to fail.
Most people are not violent criminals thank goodness. Obviously your chance of encountering those who are is higher in certain situations (car broken down in an inner city) or lower in certain situations (hiking the Appalachian trail). Nobody can ever be perfectly safe but you can do things that make you much safer such as avoiding dangerous people/situations and always carrying a gun. I do both.
Even in a relatively safe environment like hiking in the woods or mountains, I would never dream of not carrying a gun. A well armed society is a polite society. The more of us that get guns and train in their use, the more the thugs need worry that their intended victim will pull a gun out and blow them to kingdom come if they try anything....and that therefore they need to behave themselves. The police cannot be everywhere - but armed citizens can.
Totalitarian government?
For 99 percent of Democrat voters, nothing. They worship death and destruction.
The first human born on Earth, Cain, murdered his own brother.
I think ‘ol Jeff likes to stereotype people he sees.
Plus he lives life as a rabbit.
I heard a sermon about this when I was in college. There are civilizations in the world where this kind of thing happens, and it’s just life to them. The difference between them and us seemed to be that their civilizations never had been touched by the Gospel.
The common denominator among the civilizations where murder, and other crimes, are considered crimes is that at some point in their history they had been exposed to the Gospel. It’s there basis for a moral compass.
I don’t know if that’s true, but it made sense when examples were given.
If you are carrying, you wouldn't worry as much as this guy.
The great equalizer.
” What restrained them?”
Restrained implies they wanted to do you harm. In this case they had no reason to attack. Now consider if you had belonged to a different group than they did and they had been indoctrinated by media, schools, etc with hatred for your group. Now they have a reason.
Pack a 38 and stop overthinking it.
You and your peers took Christ out of the schools, then wonder why nobody cares about anyone else?
Maybe some self reflection might be in order.
Samuel Colt made all men equal.
I once found myself in a situation described by the poster where the people encountered were not so benign. I was fishing with 3 friends (one a female) in a very remote area covered in tall reeds along a river bank. My 2 male friends went downstream to try a different spot and were out of sight. Shortly after four guys came through the reeds from the opposite direction and were VERY interested in my friend’s girlfriend. Bad things were clearly going to happen. Fortunately I was well armed (as were my other 2 male friends) who they didn’t know about. When I turned toward them and they saw the large revolver on my hip their attitude changed considerably and they disappeared the way they came. We quickly found my other 2 friends and got out of there.
I’d carry on the AT due to the wildlife more than any threat from other hikers, especially if alone—bears, coyotes and big cats. I have to around my own mt top lot.
