The reactions to this kind of story make me fear the people who supposedly have the same values as I do. In real life, these same people would be cowering in the corner from this knife-wielding killer. Here, it's all right with them to stab a guy to death over a thrown punch.
This story tells me more people need to take self-defense courses. The guy with the knife was a lot more of a threat than some drunken bum--obviously.
“Here, it’s all right with them to stab a guy to death over a thrown punch.”
Tough situation. Is the punchee supposed to let the puncher keep hitting him until he cannot defend himself and maybe be killed as a result?
And from the other end, once you’ve initiated violence and failed to put your opponent down, you kind of open yourself up to whatever he chooses to do.
If all you have is a steak knife, everything looks like ribeye.
Both of them are filth. One is dead, one is in jail.
That’s life in the big city.
They both had a chip on their shoulders trying to be real macho men, some kind of Hollywood movie tough guys.
