Because the attacker is not going to be fair. Take a look at the video:

The problem with man-to-man polite talks is that they do not work if one of the parties is not interested in talking but aggression. Asshole’s attitude was obvious and trying to calm him down or reason with him was for nought. And Asshole misdirected the gentleman’s attention to execute his attack with success. There is bodily harm inflicted, make no mistake.

Create distance, have barriers in between, lock doors, leave the area, call police.

Self defense is not a sporting event.

According to the NRA Blog:

Really? The Judge? It could have been The Tracker or even the 24/7. Hell, Go Keltec Sub 2000! No, it had to be the Judge.

At least we ain’t Michigan as they got the daisy BB gun.

So… you may see this picture all over FB. The dude in the suit texting his boss is the Bloomberg lobbyist at the WV Senate session as the Governor’s veto has been overridden. The happy fellow on his left is with the FoP. They are surrounded by regular West Virginians from both panhandles, Charleston, Beckley, Parkersburg, Mason County, Clarksburg…etc. the two guys shaking hands as well as the other folks in black shirts are not paid nor compensated in any way. This photo embodies grassroots in action. The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat in one picture.

Well done WV…well done.

According to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, New York City’s tough gun laws has resulted in an increase in stabbings; and apparently that is a good thing.  The violent crime rate may be going up, but fewer people are getting shot.  This is a victory for gun control.  Just don’t tell that to families of the victims of these stabbings.

*Door bell*

Police Officer: “Ms. Smith, we have good news and bad news about your husband.  Which do you want first?”

Ms. Smith: “The bad news first.”

Police Officer: “Your husband was killed this morning on the subway during his commute.”

Ms. Smith: “Oh my god!  Then what’s the good news?”

Police Officer: “He wasn’t the victim of gun violence.”

Now I might be a pessimist, my wife tells me that I am, but personally… if I find my self shitting into a bag through a hole in my side because a piece of metal has pierced my guts, I really don’t care if it was a bullet or steak knife that did it.

I guess one of the reasons I still visit Twitter is because pearls like this land on my account:

Nothing bad ever happens at the mall! Didn’t you know that? You can go to any mall in the US like Newport, VA or Orange Park, Fl or Long Island, NY or Albuquerque, Az or Springfield, Mo or Bismarck, ND or Deptford, NJ or North Riverside , Il and never face a melee of idiots playing modern gladiator games.

Then we have straight shootings at Tukwila, Wa or Savanah, Ga or Columbus, OH or Orlando, Fl or Myrtle Beach, SC or Chicago, Il or the two cops killed at the Panera in a mall at Abingdon, Md. 

All of the above happened in the last 3 to 4 months.

And I won’t even bother go into the Active Shooter events.

And I close with the rest of the exchange:

The Race Card: Never have a Gun Control discussion without it.

They are coming out of their holes to warm up and get a tan.
Here is a great summary by Redditor PepticBurrito:

Gators don’t attack people all that often. I grew up in Florida surrounded by them. Considering just how many gators there are in FL, including where millions of people live, the amount of actual attacks are very low. You’re more likely to get killed in a car accident than by a gator.
In general, humans are too big. They prefer smaller targets. That being said, they’ll drown you if you’re swimming in the wrong place.
If you hear their babies, find somewhere else to be because mom will kill you without hesitation. Don’t go swimming with them. Don’t walk your 4 pound dog near them (the number of new arrivals from the NE US whose lose Fluffy to a gator is a little high). If your fishing, be mindful of what you’re doing.
Treat them like the predator they are and don’t do something stupid that begins with the sentence “hold my beer”.

I think that pretty much covers it.
PS: Mating season is soon…
