Dammit, we have to give this jackass a trial, pay for his room and board for 3 weeks then watch him go free.

Easier to obtain gun permits would mean the old guy would have been out 89¢ for a bullet and we'd be a healthier species....

Thank you. I have been trying to figure out how best to mount my attack on the next Midwesterner. They're tough farkers.

I'm pretty sure you have to be desperate or batshiat insane to attack a rural Midwesterner with anything smaller than a handgun.

How dare we give a suspected criminal due process? Vigilante law is the only true justice!

Well clearly you don't attack someone scraping their windows at 6 A.M. That's just madness. Then not only tired and crabby you are also pissed about having to scrape your windows. If anyone even so much as talked to me in that situation I would probably attack too.

Why in the world would an old guy be using a gun to scrape his windshield?

/he could already be a gun owner - but he had the ice scraper to hand.

Are you saying that this "first amendment absolutist" friend values the Constitution, yet also wants anarchy? That seems like a contradiction somehow...

By strict definition, the guy with the knives in the process of committing the crime is not "a suspect." He is "the criminal."

Self defense is not vigilantism and a permit to carry keeps it within the rule of law.

I, for one, am glad to live in a country where I don't have to be so terrified of my fellow man that I carry my gun with me when I go to scrape the ice off my car in the morning.

Damn right! Because if Michael Moore taught us anything it's that there is no crime in Canada.

Sweeping hyperbole? That's rich coming from a guy who said

Do they really make infants scrap ice in the Midwest? Sounds rough.

I should've waited until a farker from every state had clocked in to advocate firearms and vigilante justice.

They have nothing to lose. They already live in a frozen hellscape, so anything you might do to them is amusing at best.

When ice scrapers are outlawed, only outlaws will have ice scrapers.



I just thought it needed stating...

I would have thought, with all the stories about old people beating the shiat out of would-be robbers and the like, that we would have learned by now to never, EVER attack elderly folks. They are likely to destroy you utterly.

We live with a justice system that is easily corrupted. I present New Orleans as an example, you shoot someone in the 'bad parts' of town and you'll get locked up for a short while (I think it's 30 days), if no witnesses come forward (they don't, they'll get shot), the person goes free. This is all regardless of any ballistic evidence the police may have.

Proof? A local rapper was shot dead, during the day in a neighborhood. They found the shooter who had a motive, matched the gun in his pocket to the crime, but no witnesses came forward and he walked.

It's a joke for the gangs out there.

ragnarqk: I would have thought, with all the stories about old people beating the shiat out of would-be robbers and the like, that we would have learned by now to never, EVER attack elderly folks. They are likely to destroy you utterly.

I believe their thinking goes along these lines, "I've been putting up with bullshiat for over 70 years. I'm old, I'm going to die soon. Fark it! It's payback time!"

Never mess with anyone with nothing to lose.
