[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Woah, the guy jumped through a plate glass window inside the building to attack the child who was outside on the sidewalk. Nuts.

This sounds like PCP.  This is absolute nightmare fuel.[/quote]

Yup. Gotta tell you? As a concealed carry individual, I would have dispatched him quickly and efficiently. And if that put me in jail? So be it.[/quote]

Would you?  Or would you have accidentally shot the little girl or one of the bystanders trying to help.

Get out of here with your nasty gun agenda, no one wants you in dc or anywhere else.[/quote]

Speak for yourself.

This poor girl is super lucky that it didn't end up worse.  Thank goodness for the people who came to help out.  [b]He was a large man[/b].  If it had been just the girl and her mom, it could have ended up much more tragically.

There is a reason why people don't support banning guns, PP makes a valid point.  Just for a case like this.  YOU may not want to carry, and that's your right, but not everyone has to agree with you.

There are multiple things to discuss here - drugs, mental illness and this is just one more that can be considered.  No agenda.[/quote]

DP but get a grip, he's 5'9".  The thing that set him apart was being on some kind of drug that gave him crazy strength and a willingness to leap through windows, not being "a large man."  [/quote]

Large compared to a 4 year old girl, no?  I'm 5'0", so he's large compared to me.  Maybe you're tall and a man, but as a female, the size of an assailant does matter.[/quote]

Way to move the goal posts.  PP wasn't talking about the size differential between a child and an adult.  If so, he would have just said an adult man.  As his follow-up shows (would have taken 3-4 regular men to handle him even without drugs!!!), he was trying to make the case that this person was of some kind of huge stature.  And he wasn't.

Listen, this is a scary situation without inventing extra details to make the man frightening.  He's frightening because he attacked a child, appeared to be inured to pain, was under the influence of a drug that made him extremely strong, leaped through a window, was unpredictable, etc.  He doesn't have to also be a giant, stronger than 3-4 "Normie" men without drugs, all this nonsense.  He's the exact average height for an American male, and below average weight.  If we are going to turn that into "a large man" let's just add on that he had a hook for a hand while we're at it.[/quote]
