I stated as fact something that I actually assumed. I have no idea about the morals, ethics, or character of the intended victim in this carjacking.

I do know that the intended victim was not conducting himself in an aggressive or violent manner when attacked by the armed perpetrator.

I do know that the intended victim was equipped, prepared to, and successfully defended himself against the armed perpetrator.

I do know that, if I am ever attacked, I will also be equipped, prepared to, and (hopefully) successfully defend myself.

How about you?

Semper Fi,

the two are not remotely similar gejohnston Jun 2013 #38

I am here to tell you they are. Loudly Jun 2013 #39

a better analogy would be a gun is the same as the camera gejohnston Jun 2013 #40
