Walking around New Orleans when there were armed bandits and troops
on
combat patrol with a shotgun and flack jacket - real smart.
Just what that city needed. A shotgun-wielding idiot like Penn
walking around. Imagine what would have occurred if he happened
upon a nervous 19 year old National Guard member while holding that
gun.
One could only hope.

Then again, I'm sure the media would have turned it into another Kent
State.
Are you referring to the Kent State slaughter, in which
dumber-than-dirt National Guardsmen opened fire on students?
I think he means the incident that was preceded by these events just 1
to 2 days befo

Nothing happened in the days before that justified shooting at students.
Period.

Day 1:

bonfires lit in the middle of downtown streets

police cars hit with bottles

Store windows were smashed

property was vandalized

shops were looted

Day 2:
several Kent firemen and police officers were pelted with rocks and other
projectiles

protesters were slashing firehoses with pocket knives



If you're dumb enough to physically attack a man holding a rifle (or
protest in the midst of folks dumb enough to do so), then you deserve to
be shot.






Nothing happened that justified shooting the students.
You really don't get it.

Property damage does not trump human life...

If a group of thugs lit a bonfire in your driveway, started a fire in your
garage, and then cut your hoses and pelted you with rocks and bottles as you
tried to disperse them, would you be justified in shooting at them?
