Yes, ideally, Shatner should have killed the POS street-punk trash because as we all know, said POS will be out of jail in no time and back out on the street robbing someone else. And possibly next time, he'll just shoot his victim right up front instead of engaging insmart-assed dialog first, in orderto avoid getting shot himself.
Taking criminals out at every opportunity is the best course, sowhen they present themselves personally to you -- and by their actions and words they clearly identify themselves as a POS criminal, no guessing or lengthy analysis necessary-- you also have the opportunity. Use it. I mean, it's not as though you have to go outlooking for them, they come to you. Curbside service -- doesn't get any better or more effficient than that.
So Shatnershot the POS3 times...I'm sure there wasquite a bit of pain as the criminal probably had done robberies before and wasn't having any adrenalin rush (which helps deal with pain in violent situations) as he seemd quite calm (not expecting turned-tables), butMOST of all, I think the POS was SURPRISED being shot...he did not AT ALL expect some "big-shot" rich white guy -- and therefore probably believed to be just another pansy wimpy apologetic anti-gun liberal -- to be armed. So when the "victim" pulled out a gun and shot said POS, it was surprise that was the mainfactorthat threw off the POS's plans into disarray as he had no expectation of that ever happening...so he had no Plan B. Then the pain comes into play.
Whatever, I am always sorry to read/hearwhen people do not kill their criminal attacker(s) but instead, only lightly wound them or just let them run off.
If someone were to try to rob/mugme, as soon as I see the gun/knife/bat/tire iron/stick/screwdriver/brick, I'd let them get into the kill zone -- so there is no doubt they are comingto do harm toME --pull MY gunand shoot.No questions asked, no warnings, nothing (and if no one else isaround, I'd go through the POS's pockets for any $$ as "reparations" (how appropriate is that whenthe POS is black) for being subjected tothe ordeal/trauma/pain-and-suffering ofan attempted assault/robbery event,to replace ammo he caused me to use onhim, or going out to dinner afterwards...all dependingon how much $$ the POS had on him, if any).
If everyone who was assaulted were to kill the assailant(s) -- i.e., take the heretofore hollow/meaningless "war on crime" BS slogan seriously, even if "the authorities" and big-talking politicians don'thave a clue aboutwhat thatSHOULD mean themselves -- prision populations would decline (no new prisons would need to be built) and new criminals would be cut short early in their sorry carreers before they go on to harm countless others; I can't see any downside to killing criminals.
Please help clean up America...even if it's only one POS criminal at a time.
Merry Christmas to all,
