I suppose you wouldn't say that if you were at Dunkin' Donut being robbed at gun point and being assaulted. Oh my life's not in danger.. but I see your life is in danger... oh well tough luck. let the cops deal with it. <go back to watching ESPN>
Actually - we do have rights to take the law into our own hands. Police Officers are merely hired by taxpayers to enforce it for us just as much as we hire plumber to fix our clogging toilets. The law says it is a crime to rob and Randall broke the law. The neighbor saw it and took appropriate action to enforce the law and to respond under the Good Samaritan law (perhaps).
He beat up the little Asian lady and made her think she was going to be killed.
Here's a tip. Don't beat up and rob women, and you won't be shot by a legal gun owner. Sorry, but I can't make any promises about the criminals, because apparently they're not real big on the whole "obeying the law" thing. Not even gun laws apparently, which was really surprising. It's not about good vs. evil. It's about armed robbery and the implied threat of death. They didn't know it was a fake gun, they just knew a criminal was there with a gun. Should they wait to see if the criminal with the gun is going to shoot them on the way out? Why should they have to guess? The criminal brought this on himself, by threating lethal force by carrying the weapon into the robbery with him.
It's funny, Jillio, that you prefer the police officers to take the laws into their own hands and they have killed more innocents than armed citizens (which I've already proved to you). They beat up people, even kids. Such a displacement of responsibility...
To me - The greatest crime to humanity is not responding to those who needs help. Confucius say: "If my neighbor no come, what is gone happen? I might die."
You repeatedly forget that most armed citizens with CCW have EXTENSIVE EXTENSIVE EXTENSIVE
continuing trainings in self-defense and marksmanship than police officers who get re-certified training every two years (correct me if I'm wrong). You think it's horrible that a neighbor took this matter to his own hands and killed the armed robber. Take a look at NYPD shooting 50+ at one allegedly armed guy. oh yea - multiply that case by 10x. Ever heard in news about armed citizen shooting 40x at robber? I think not.
take a look at bottom and tell me if you think if it's real or fake
answer - it's a fake
