They should have repelled him by throwing a can of pineapple rings at him.

Didn’t you carry a Tiki Torch instead of a nightstick?

I used to borrow Sit-rep’s tiki torches!

I don’t know WTF you are trying to say.

I mentioned the Carry permits meaning that there are a lot of people ready, willing, and able to defend themselves in this county. It does not surprise me this guy could not get an accurate shot off. Being woken up with a beating is not really a tactical advantage.

I carry 24/7.

Well howdy, neighbor!

I’m a few blocks down the street from there also.

Ten years ago, this was a rural area.

Now it seems as Aloha grows, the creeps are creeping in.

I thought I got away from all that when we moved here from Portland.

You show your ignorance by mistaking City of Portland proper for all of Oregon.

Oregon usually interprets self defense quite (forgive the term) liberally.

State law even allows shooting to stop an arsonist, among many other “non-violent” felonies in progress, let alone to defend self or others.

Yes I do. I never lived in Oregon. I did live in Washington and I know that the Left side of WA is nothing like the Right side. Unfortunately, the Left side seems to have most of the political clout. Oregon seems to have the same problem. There are conservative areas of Massachusetts and Maryland too, but overall the states are left-leaning.

Thanks marktwain. Okay, it's now officially grounds for reviving "The X-Files".
