Re: Armed robbery of 40-50 people

In the early 1960's the U.S. news media voluntarily stopped identifying suspects by race out of fear of potential libel litigation (nonsense, truth is an absolute defense to libel) and in the interest of social and political correctness (more nonsense, there is no such thing as correctness, only competing special interests). Since that time, the American people have not had the facts of the matter before them, and as a consequence have become almost wholly uninformed as to the racial makeup of the criminal element. Uninformed and ignorant voters make poor personal and public choices, as we recently witnessed in the presidential election.

Re: Armed robbery of 40-50 people

That is a situation where we display our CHL badge, correct?
Finally, a solution that works. Just as laughing juries don't convict, maybe laughing suspects won't open fire.

Re: Armed robbery of 40-50 people

In an situation like this, what would happen if you shot one of them in the back? I mean they are robbing folks at gunpoint, wouldn't your life be in danger?
The FBI opined recently the killing of perpetrator during a felony crime such as robbery is a justifiable homicide.

I'm inclined to think the DA for Harris County, TX would agree with the FBI on this point.

In this particular incident, the risk of injury to innocent parties if shooting erupts seemingly outweighs the benefits of eliminating the two threats.

Of course if any shooting does break out, then all bets are off. And shame on anybody who by then can't defend themselves after having voluntarily and with aforethought entered an environment where they know or should have known this kind of thing can go down, as the cops say, at any moment.
