Always? So, let’s say there’s someone in your home raping your wife and child. You enter. They do not notice you. You have a gun. So do they.

Do you politely ask them to please stop and would you like to discuss your trauma, friend?

Grow up. This is the real world, not Peter bloody Rabbit.

Sorry. Mea culpa entirely. “Rough day” doesn’t even begin to cover yesterday and the past week, and I am apparently acting more like an asshole than usual.

No excuse, all the same.


Appreciated! It happens. I hope things have started to get better.


I wouldn’t call shooting a man from behind on the street equivalent to shooting a man raping your child. Murder is not equivalent to homicide
