Everyone of you people on here sit back and judge a man that you know nothing about. You feel the need to be a "keyboard warrior" and call a man names from afar. Not a single one of you who has called him names such as, and I quote, "Carolina Hillbilly", have the balls to say it to his face. I am a liberal voter. I feel that this best describes my political leanings because the religious right is so far out there its not even funny. But you people honestly kill me. I am a gun owner. I have a concealed carry permit and pretty much am armed all the time. I own a couple of assault rifles because that is my constitutional right. I don't hunt because I feel no need to hurt a defenseless animal. I served in the military and am proud of my service to this country. I also live in NC like Tommy Jordan. I enjoy watching MMA and train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. I think WWF wrestling is fake. Not everyone from NC is a moron and "hillbilly" as it was termed. If you think what he did was wrong, that is your right. To sit back and bash him and call him hurtful names is not. Call me a gun nut or a zealot. It doesn't matter to me. Personally I would have never shot the laptop because that's not how I roll. I myself would have taken it away from her or given it to someone that needed and appreciated it. In closing, those of you who have taken to hurling insults on an Internet message board at a man you do not personally know are flawed. Your character leaves a lot to be desired. Me? I'll sit back with my cache of weapons that I have legally obtained and watch the drama unfold. Once again, I am a liberal voter and I own weapons because the Constitution of The United States of America says I can. My family, home, and property are protected if anyone tries to break in and/or bring harm to my family. The US Government taught me to shoot very well. Break into my home and you can see how well.
