Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: UPDATE: Texas EZ Trip Shooting Of Drunk [View all]DocMac
(1,628 posts)Given a choice, i'd much rather take my chances getting stunned than shot.
I'm a big guy and a former Marine. This drunk would have had a real problem dobbing me. Someone smaller, who doesn't have fighting confidence could use mace and run to their car and lock the doors.
The point i'm tyring to make throughout this thread is that we shouldn't be solving things like this with lethal force...that there are options.
Maybe the drunk guy would have woke up the next day, full of "i'm sorry." Perhaps that incident would be the trigger for him to clean his life up.
I should also say that those people who watched this are assholes for not grabbing this drunk and stopping this.
At least keep him busy til the cops arrive.
Now, one guy is dead and another might be fighting for his freedom.
