She did not compensate and did fight fair.
By now most of the readers of this blog have seen this horrible video:
The attacker was unarmed, right? Then having a gun would have made things worse and made it unfair for the unarmed attacker, right?
But her attack does not count since there was no gun involved. Her suffering is less because there were no bullets flying. Hell, I am a bigger threat to her 1,200 miles away because I own a gun. That is what the idiots supporting Gun Control believe. That is what the Yankee Vulture Bus Tour is trying to sell to those who have never felt not seen up close what real violence feels like.
If you have a loved one, this is what Nanny Bloomberg (Evil Dwarf) will like you to be. That is what people like Japete or Josh Sugarman or Ladd Everitt or Colin Goddard expect us to become.
And that is why we fight. That is why we give them the middle finger and make calls and send emails and faxes and phone calls and raise our voices. Violence is not subcategorized on politically convenient parcels that can be used or ignored at the whim of a politician aiming at a seat somewhere. And in a sense, they are as diabolical as the monster on the video as both use violence to achieve their ignoble purposes: one by inflicting it and the other by using it as a banner in his or her campaign.
