I would not ever contemplate shooting a human being with it though. Because it might kill them.
.................
You might if it was either you or them.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you think killing somebody is easy?
..............
I would certainly find it much easier if it was me or them.
If you are ever in that situation though, you go ahead and take your time and rationalize it out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I would be far more comfortable if people had military training before they were allowed to own a gun.
It is what the Swiss do.

This is how it should be.
The Swiss have their world famous pocket knives. They don't need guns.
And of course Tobelerone, which is a weapon all on it's own.

I can tell you a story about Toblerone and a lady I met at a wedding in Prague.

Could you imagine trying to defend yourself with a Swiss Knife. Someone jumps out at you, and in a panic you pull out the tiny corkscrew?

Corkscrew to the neck is very effective
Even the tiny one? What about those little tiny scissors?
You didn't finish an airport sized one between you in one sitting did you?
Billy Connelly does a routine on the Swiss with their pocket knives and Toblerone. You can probably find it on YouTube. It is hilarious.
Or in the foot like True Romance.

I hope it's that, because if it's anything else, I'd assume that it'd be quite painful.

No, there were a few measurements taken with the pack and one thing led to another

Ahem. Assume?!
Don't know if anyone has seen the Equalizer film from last year. It's rubbish but there is a particularly good killing by use of a cork screw.

I haven't done that. It does sound like a good threat though - carry on doing that and I'll shove a Toblerone up your arse
True Romance has a good corkscrew violence scene
On a tangent, I can't understand why they don't allow those cargo ships to have some serious weaponry to fight pirates with. If there was an ironclad case where it's justified for private citizens to arm themselves, that's it.

My first thought was a Toblerone party involving melted chocolate; Jay wondered about the size of it
Jay
He mentions the measurements being taken in that post you muppet!
Its was a difficult read through the 4-5 pages I read in this thread. So many brits calling each other clueless about racism or laws in america when they themselves show they are also clueless. Racism isnt anywhere near the levels it was decades ago and it also isnt uniform across the US. To act as if the black community is right to riot over this is stupid and short sighted. Most who are rioting are young men who havent even had to deal with racism. Baltimore is a town where white people are the minority.
Also the right to carry weapons is only allowed in some states. And the size of the knife carried is also a factor. You cant just go around carrying a but hers knife because of the constitution.
Riots where people look to cause others harm only angers those whose jobs it is to actually protect these people. Why would an officer want to continue doing his job when a possible accident (thats what I think this may be) leads to people reacting like animals? I know the snowballing effect of these shootings of black men has resulted in this but people should think before they react. It isnt a plan set out by police to kill black people. Mexicans are getting shot. You dont see the mexican community going all nuts.
If you run or resist arrest (yes, thats what running is) then expect to be chased and tackled and with the training that police receive, expect to get a knee on your neck while they restrain you. Its for THEIR safety and I for one cannot blame them for doing it in their line of work. Dont run. Dont break the law. Dont act in a threatening manner.
Now in police work of course there will be stereotyping. Its what they NEED to do in order to stay ahead of the game. Like it or not so many people fit the bill when racial profiling and when you have so many gang members blasting rap from their cars and looking like thugs those who look to mimic that style cannot complain when they are seen in the same light by officers who are looking for these gang members. Its the reality of it. The hip hop and rap industry glamorizes the criminal life further increasing the difficulty of an officers job. Mexicans, asians, african americans, caucasians ALL get stopped around here for acting a fool and playing the part. As a citizen I cannot help but be thankful for that.
The riots are stupid. There were peaceful protests around the country for the Brown incident and many others. They go a long way. These people are just looking to cause damage and will be lucky if they themselves arent badly injured from the riot police. And its nobodies fault but their own.
4 armed US cops in Baltimore arrest a black man and in the process of doing so while taking him into custody, inflict severe injuries, including a broken back, eventually resulting in his death.
Recently 4 unarmed off duty Swedish cops on vacation in New York went to the aide of a guard on a train who calls for help when a black passenger is being violently assaulted by another. Swedish cops carry out a citizen arrest with minimal force and calming verbal orders, and while there is some struggle, there are no injuries inflicted on assailant while waiting for NYPD.
Do police stereotype the gangsters in suits or is it just the hip hop ones? You know, those blacks
