Criminal elements always have ways to get access to guns. This is not different in Germany either.

There is a fine line between the two, an example of antisocial behavior on the edge would be - say you accidentally bumped into someone in a bar and apologized. However, the drunken fool postured in front of his friends and wanted to start a fight. You apologize again but he throws his drink in your face. Your friends are watching, what do you do? Is there still a chance you can talk your way out of it? Yes, this would be Close to the Edge,  but it doesn’t necessarily have to turn asocial. You can place a ten or twenty on the bar, tell the bartender that because of you that guy spilled his drink and would like to buy him another one. Then start backing away slowly toward an exit, be vigilant and get the hell out of there. It’s worth 20 bucks not to engage, not to take a chance of ending up in jail, hospital, or morgue. In an asocial situation there is now way out, no amount of talking and there is nothing that can be done to avert the violence about to take place. If someone has a knife to your throat or a gun to your head this is an asocial situation and there is only one way out. There is only one person walking away on their own accord, I hope you have to necessary tools in your tool bag to be you. There are a lot of predators in the world, and I hope no one here ever encounters one. Examine the video closely and then decide for yourself if what Kyle faced was antisocial or asocial? Try not to be swayed by some of the brainless comments on some of the videos. Violence is hardly ever the answer, but when it is the answer, it’s the only answer. |
Love that little extra touch you give your posts where you demean other posters. Keep up the good work.

So you think folks should have taken away the weapons the Antifa and Black Lives Matter were carrying? This video shows Rosenbaum approaching multiple armed men. Including rifle toting Black Lives Matter people. Rosenbaum screams several times, " Shoot me, N-word!" Eyes and ears don't lie. This video took place only minutes before Rosenbaum took BaldFriede's advise.

It’s not that cut and dry… Each scenario and situation would
be different and there is a third option, call the cops.
I have guns but I don’t like guns and get uneasy around people
that I don’t know with guns. If saw
someone walking or running around with a gun in an area that was perfectly legal
to do so, I would choose to leave that area. It would be illegal and very stupid
to try and disarm that person if the individual wasn’t breaking any laws.
The notion of disarming even a predator is ill-advised. The gun is not the threat, the person is, or
more to the point, his brain is. That’s
what needs to be shut down to eliminate the threat. All the disarming techniques I came across from different martial arts as well as law enforcement are also ill-advised and can get one killed.

OMG, Rittenhouse crossed state lines! WTF! I would never cross a state line. I'm sure you guys wouldn't cross state lines. God forbid!
Rittenhouse traveled approximately one mile across state lines to where Rittenhouse worked as a life guard. Rittenhouse visited his family and friends that lived in Kenosha, including his grandmother, cousins, and dad. He did not carry a weapon across state lines, because his rifle was kept in Kenosha.
This is what the Media said about Rittenhouse crossing state lines-

LOL… Our left-wing pedophile sounded off. Do you have any clue as to what you’re spouting? It’s obvious that you have a fading and

different matters.
On majority of issues, I lean left, far left even. However, I do recognize that there are sociopaths
and all sorts of crazies on both sides of the aisle.

Of course not. However; when the video's plainly shows all three criminals chasing Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse ran away from them. Threatening Rittenhouse with words like (Rosenbaum) "When I catch you alone, I will kill you!" Then chasing Rittenhouse down, catching him, and grabbing for Rittenhouse's rifle...Or beating Rittenhouse with a skateboard on the head, or pointing a loaded Glock automatic at Rittenhouse's head are criminal activities. Deadly criminal activities.
So you support pedophile's anal raping 9 year-old boys? Do you support men strangling women? That's what the people you call "victims" did. The last thing the three criminals did was attempt to murder Rittenhouse. They died like they lived. The pedophile died reaching for a minor.
Maybe you should watch the videos before you spout opinions, Timothy Leary?
