This is why you go after perps as quickly as possible.

Now they may have a hostage situation, and people may die.

I hope these three women pull through.

They’ll never be the same agin, more than likely.

You know, the courts are so lenient these days, that I catch myself hoping they put guys like this down instead of take them into custody.

I know that is wrong, but when killers outlive their victims by 30 or 40 years, somethin just ain’t right about it.

(And yes, sometimes “ain’t” is still more fittin’.)

I can't stand what our "justice" system has become, which gives the perpetrator every conceivable benefit of the doubt, and puts the absolute burden of proof of acting in self defense crushingly on the victims. A recent incident (which many here on FR criticize my stance on) in Oklahoma is an example. A pharmacist shot an armed robbery duo, but he's been convicted of murder and given a LIFE SENTENCE because he "overdid" his self-defense. Appalling.

You essentially sign your own death warrant when you rob a victim using violence, in my book.

Not at all.

I was robbed and shot in 1975 (July 14th), and I've never been the same. I carry Kimber 1911s or a Colt .357mag, ever since I walked away from that night, with a .32cal bullet still in my left side, near my spine.
