(17,502 posts)maybe he had no real choice. Lease conditions, and all of that. Maybe it was about standing up for his community. Ask him, since you are the one judging. You should at least know something about people you judge outside of the straw stereotypes you create.
Like I told ST, if he and other businesses left, cowering to the sociopaths, taxes can't be collected on empty store fronts. That means school and other infrastructure can't be funded, that also means no viable alternatives to the gangs for young people leaving the nest. That domino effect show how dumb and how misguided, or perhaps pro criminal, the gun haters really are. He was standing up to the kind of people Ayn Rand worshiped. But then, she was a sociopath herself.

I knew some ACORN activists that tried to clear drug dealers and gangs out of a neighborhood, the gangsters wanted them "out" as well. Should they have just slipped off and and done nothing? I happened to live in the same neighborhood.
Kellerman started with the conclusion and built a study to reach that conclusion. I'm surprised even you can't see that.
