The little old lady seemed to think not standing in line for anything is the solution. I'd think, handing over the purse when a gunman gets the drop on you is the best way to go. Now, before Greg starts screaming, that doesn't mean I support total submission. But when it comes to some money or other replaceable objects, yes, submission is the best bet.

Did you miss it? The good citizen only shot after the goblins had attacked. She saw a young man beaten and an older woman shot in the foot. She then responded. That was the report in the news story.
ReplyDeleteThe worst part of all of this? The goblins are still ambulatory.
Yes, I wrote that, and I mean it. If you attack someone in that manner, you deserve to go down on the scene.
I'm not giving powers of judge, jury, and executioner to a good citizen, since those powers are all functions of the state. I'm saying that good citizens have the right to defend themselves.
