Dude you're funny.

SSF and bfine were right.  

(07-24-2018, 02:11 PM)GMDino Wrote: I also understand that the post is meant to suggest the victim should have/could have done more to not get shot.  That's blaming the victim.

(07-24-2018, 05:25 PM)GMDino Wrote: Well as long as the people being provoked don't do anything they will be fine.  If they react at all and get shot, well I guess there's a lesson to be learned there about them.

Don't park in the wrong place...
Don't argue...
Don't push a guy yelling at your girlfriend...


None of which should result in getting shot and killed.  That's trying to find a way to blame the victim in at LEAST some small part for the actions of another wannabe cop/coward.

Guns don't kill people...people doing things that they should be shot for but get shot anyway kill people.

(07-26-2018, 08:40 AM)GMDino Wrote: And isn't that at the heart of the "stand your ground" debate?  The coward with the gun claims they felt threatened...even if they started the incident.

The lesson learned is let the bully/cowards run their mouths, push you, stalk you...you just be quiet and walk away or you probably did something to get yourself shot.

Oh, but the shooter is TOTALLY at fault.  But....

And that would TOTALLY be the other guy's fault.  But....

It is totally the shooters fault!  But....

All of that to try and prove other folks wrong. Absolutely nothing of value added to the conversation; just a continued effort to prove others wrong when they say thimbledick is to blame for the shooting but there are measures the innocent can take to de-escualte the situation.
