I have not seen the landscape littered with the remains of those that were involved in self-defense shootings. Those people I know and associate with that share this unique credential have many things in common. They do not become drunken drug infested mental basket cases. One thing we all agreed upon. Damned mad in fact, because some idiot MADE us shoot them.
Few shootings are for a good reason.
One cop killer said he shot the cop to stay out of jail for the weekend. The stupidity that leads to such events is mind boggling. It is that anger that ties the most common bond of all. The bang your head against the wall rage from being pushed into the event by such flagrant stupidity does show up. Many don't like to talk about this part of it.
