wow, you almost have to wonder if your better off in the dry parts or the wet parts.
The fact that our National Guard, police, and the army are loath to shoot citizens, even though they are criminals of the worst sort, is in a perverted sort of way, comforting.
I don't think it's comforting to the people who are dying. I have drawn a lot of flack for being too soft on criminals, and I hope to continue to do that in the future. Some people need grace.
But there's a line. That line is the active prevention of violence against innocents.
I'm not comforted in any way that law abiding citizens are put in mortal danger because the law enforcement officers and the military are unwilling to use deadly force against outlaws.
