Don't presume to speak for all of us . . . you're opinion is your own. Neither I nor my soldier-son would have acted so carelessly. The BG got what he wanted, was sure to be caught (videos and plenty of witnesses), and no one got hurt. Why play the hero when the deed is done. To that end we (both my soldier-son and I) pay taxes to the local authorities to deal with BGs like this fellow.flintknapper wrote:Mr. Peoples (and all other Soldiers who are also parents would disagree), else they wouldn't be Soldiers (with the attendant risks).
Whereas I agree with you in that it was his decision to make, I don't have to agree with his decision. I stil believe it was an unnecessary if not fool-hardy act that put his life at unnecessary risk.flintknapper wrote: If something similar were to happen another 10 ten times....would it always turn out well for him, I can't say. I can only say it is HIS decision to make (within the confines of the law) and with respect to any perceived risks.
Unfortunately.
