re: #78 Daniel Ballard

I’m afraid of victims like Zimmerman, and many others who resort to deadly force when ‘attacked’.

I’m afraid of victims who open fire in a panic and shoot a passerby.

I’m afraid of victims who think they’re being attacked when they’re not.

I’m afraid of people claiming to be victims who were actually the attackers.

Obdicut, 3 of four of those are not really even victims. That’s obfuscating. As to the one kind of actual victim you cited, training and education are the best solutions. Some of us face felons with guns that hunt us for real. For our gender or our money or for a serial killer thrill. So when I say victim, take me as meaning actual victims.

Give a precise definition of a “real victim.”
