Well, then don't be saying it was supposed to end the way you think it should have or you know how it really happened.

You should try being pushed up against the wall and asked if you have any money. It is very easy to sit where you're sitting and think it out rationally and insist all the variables should have led to a single conclusion (yours).

it's a shame you didn't read my other posts wherein i explained i had taken the contrary stance on this issue for a reason. you wanna know what it is - read what i wrote. oh & don't assume that because i've never had a gun pulled on me that it equates to me never having been involved in a violent situation. you don't know me.

back to the subject...i'm glad it has made a few people think it thru a bit more - that's what these "healthy discussions" are supposed to be about.

there are a multitude of scenarios in this situation that could have gone either way. it could have ended better OR worse. i'll give you the worse BUT you cannot prove to me that there is NO WAY possible this situation could have ended better.

i took the contrary side of this in the hopes that minds would be opened & another viewpoint could be taken into account but clearly that didn't happen. that's just sad.

Of course there are ways this could have ended better.
The punk could have decided NOT to go out with a gun to rob anyone.
That would have changed EVERYTHING.
Would he have just robbed them and left them alone? Maybe.

But, if it was me, and there was a 90% chance the guy would have robbed us and left us alone, that still means a 10% chance he might kill us. If i had it in my power to make sure it was 100% certain i and my wife would not be harmed, i'm going with the 100%. But thats just me.
NONE of us were there, we ONLY go on what was written.
Like i said before........this went down in a matter of seconds. The guy in the truck didn't have even 5 minutes to try to decide what action to take, it was a few seconds at most.
Like has already been stated......innocent people are killed in this country by thugs everyday. Thats fact.
And if you never have been robbed, it's hard to say what you would do, or what you would feel.
After it happened to me, i didn't feel safe for about a year. I couldn't sleep soundly for months. EVERYONE i saw at night put fear into me. It changed the way i think, the way i react. To this day, i'm not the same. More then just my money was stolen that night. My "innocence" and "trust" went with it.
Oh....and the thug had a gun thrust at him......yet he went for his own gun. Had he just layed there, i bet the other guy wouldn't have shot. He probably would have just held him till the cops came.
That would have made a better ending, right?

I only know what you wrote. You may be right about one thing, you may not need to be robbed to understand what it's like. But from what you wrote, I don't think you do understand. Also, based on what you wrote, I don't think you understand that people who go looking for trouble will eventually find it and reap the consequences.

Heck, all you have to do is watch the TV show "Cops" and see how people dive right into trouble and are only sorry when they get bit by it.

There is a City 20 miles east of Atlanta called Kennesaw.

I went there to visit the Civil War Battlefield at Kennesaw Mountain. The first person I saw in Kennesaw was walking down the street with two 45's in a two gun holster.

In Kennesaw Georgia IT IS THE LAW that you own and maintain a firearm if you own a home. You can also wear or carry them on the public streets.

Read this... Oh... Crime is almost non existant by the way.

How are the job prospects in Kennesaw? Any openings for Software Engineers? I could stomach the heat as I've lived in East Texas (for those who don't know, East Texas' weather = Louisiana weather) for several years.

I bet you anything that the people in Kennesaw are VERY polite. I like that.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
