I was thinking the same thing. Still...tragic nonetheless.
A marine OC'ing would have been able to defend himself from the armed drunk.
Just ~90 miles further south and he could do just that.

Maryland legislature should be held as criminal accomplises before and after the fact.
If that had been the OP's point, you might have a point. His point was to start another LEO-bashing thread.
Considering I have family who have worked and who are currently work as police officers, I am going to have to tell you to try again. I am so glad someone where can read my mind, because my wife doing just is not enough. Just like any other Self Defense story that is posted on these forms people are allowed to judge for themselves if it was a self defense.

Sorry. I just don't buy it.

Maybe a few posts telling other posters that you didn't post as an invitation to their LEO-bashing might've convinced me. Absent that, you seem to have gotten the reaction you were eliciting.

Well I am sorry I don't have the ability to be on here 24/7(sarcasm), I am working 2 jobs to make ends meet for my family and these forums or others like them are not my life. I don't have the time to defend myself to every single post here that question my reasoning for posting it. That and the fact like is people like yourself no matter what I would have said anywhere in this post would have changed your mind to begin with.

Well, I'll just note the time you had to take me to task, but not the LEO-bashers.

Moving on.

I have no right to tell people how to think or what to think, I am not the thought police. I come to task to you because you want to try and control what people can say and can't say, by quoting the rules of this forum. You do not represent the owners of this site, nor have they given you any authority to moderate these forums. If you do not like a conversation then simply click away and allow people to speak their minds and allow the REAL moderates to make the decisions of when people violate the rules.

All you’re doingis causing problems by accusing people of cop bashing, and picking fights. I and others consider that to be trolling. So many good discussions have had to be locked because of the infighting that you and other members have started.

Not taking sides here and I haven't read every single post in this thread, but I will say that I find it annoying when I check my email and it's a message from this forum regarding a thread that I joined, only to sign-on and find out it's another pissing match that has continued to drag on. No need to get the last word in, we're all adults here...right?

My suggestion: STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER. Don't touch that mouse.....don't do it it. That's right.....leave the keyboard alone. Now forget all about this ever happening and when you return, play nicely. :lol:
