I understand vigilance. I understand proactive awareness. I understand keeping eyes out..... I don't understand shoot first and figure it out later in the instance you just described. I don't understand brandishing a weapon without KNOWING the situation or what is happening. Acting in that way is completely fear driven and irrational. In most life situations (to steal a quote from my favorite book) "Haste is a poor counselor".

But you seem to understand or at least not comment on walking down the street with objects designed to look like assault weapons. I don't understand why someone would do that and not expect to provoke a reaction.
