What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

No, but nor can rats, and they are the subject of ethical controls too. What's your point?mistermack wrote:Shit, I forgot about that.

You wouldn't want all the cameramen on strike, due to employing non-union puppys. That's victimisation of a valued section of the labour force.Pappa wrote: No, but nor can rats, and they are the subject of ethical controls too. What's your point?

Re: Why shoot to kill?
The trouble with forums is that once you realise you’ve fucked up, and are losing the argument and try to derail it, along comes one of the folk from earlier on to dredge the thread back to topic:
//
Anyway, I think if he'd had longer arms or a hacksaw, none of this would have happened.
The guy in the clip I showed was pointing the gun at himself under his chinny chin chin, not randomly spraying shot out of a window (and who knew at the time what else he had at his disposal. As I already said, and DP said too). You keep calling it a bird gun as if that makes it a harmless Airsoft toy. I linked that clip not because I have any measure of support for your argument, but because it was a neat shot in entirely different circumstances. At no point was the gunman discharging his weapon threateningly in the video clip. Nor I believe was he pissed and drugged up and unpredictable. He was not totally suicidal, he had other targets in mind.mistermack wrote:<acceptable snip>
See the video clip that tigger linked. A police marksman shot the gun out of a suicides hand. It can and has been done.
In a case like this, where nobody is in any real danger, why not?
If you miss, so what?
Maybe they were relatively safe apart from being there in the first bloody place, protecting people like you and me. So you want one of them to risk their lives now. Why? Explain your reasoning to the dead cop’s widow and children.mistermack wrote:One of the police gave the game away with a comment later.
He was asked why they didn't use a Tazer shotgun, and he said that that would have put the officer within range of the shotgun.
They knew they were safe.
