Who cares what you believe. glacierbay Oct 2012 #91

"There was no knife attack." PavePusher Oct 2012 #72

Dad should have stayed in the house and dialed 911. n.t. mikeb302000 Oct 2012 #85

He shot in self-defense 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #15

He wasn't part of a committee, this wasn't an act of revenge, and he was not acting... Clames Sep 2012 #16

It seems your grasp of the English language is not what you think it is. mikeb302000 Oct 2012 #18

The term vigilante most definitly doesn't apply here glacierbay Oct 2012 #22

He should have stayed home and dialled 911. mikeb302000 Oct 2012 #47

Lunging at someone with a knife *does* justify shooting in defense 4th law of robotics Sep 2012 #14

If what you claim is true glacierbay Oct 2012 #23
