You don’t know the outcome, anything can happen when a group attacks an individual. I would absolutely prefer the bday guy be in a morgue than an innocent woman get beaten by a group. It’s remarkable to me but it seems people have more empathy for the criminal than the innocent, I’m curious why that is

Considering we're talking about a single incident 2 years ago, I kinda do know the outcome. We all do. That's just the nature of linear time. I'm going to need to have more than 1 incident in the last decade in the city before we can start pretending it is even sorta probable.

And, without remotely trying to say, she deserved it or the attack was warranted, I have trouble believing that her version of the build-up where the group was just sitting through multiple light cycles before she politely honked and then was attacked. I've seen plenty of aggressive behavior towards other motorists from the ATV and Dirt Bike crowd but her version of events failed the smell test. Hell, just the idea of them camping at an intersection and refusing to move runs against every one of the hundreds of other times people have seen these groups.

And here we have the goal post pushed further down the field.

There’s an article referenced above with a list of the different times people have ran into trouble with them. They don’t do it where I live but I don’t like to see innocent people get hurt by criminals without any defense.

I fucking hate guns but this person is just nuts. I would do anything in my power to instinctively put an end to anyone trying to forcibly accost me from my vehicle that also had my children in it.

I enjoy target shooting, but if I could snap my fingers and have every firearm gone I probably would. I 100% agree on defense.
