Now those of us condemning the perp in this incident, virtually all of us, "lack respect for the rights of the individual". If it wasn't sitting there in 10 pt. Verdana type, no one would believe it.
Because you get to choose when it's okay to violate rights? Yes it is getting better and better isn't it?

More Fox so-called News, trying to impress that people who should guns. Idiots. Having the gun did nothing, she was violently attacked by this man. It didn't prevent the attack. This is way public education needs to have increased funding we have some many stupid people in this country that think having a gun is going to actually make us safer. And we have Fox to blame for this horrible person in the white house.

Without making this political or a gun issue, it does appear the gun stopped the thug in his tracks. He retreated immediately so showing a weapon did stop him from escalating his violent outburst.

Does anyone know if he was ever arrested for this?

Sounds like something a predator would say.

Because punching a woman in the face and sending her to the hospital with a concussion without any provocation at all is just the same as making a pass. He just wanted to show her that he really really likes her.

Well, when I went to public school as a child and was hit by a boy I was told by every teacher I complained to that boys hit girls because they like them and scolded for complaining about it. So, based upon lessons the public school system was 'teaching' me, this guy was in love.

No, I prefer far less guns. Consider the number of deaths in the US from guns compared to other countries. It isn't rocket science. Look at the other countries, less guns, less death by guns. Having the gun did not prevent the attack.

It definitely prevented it from escalating. That guy was out of control. It was an equalizer against a bully who was not going to back down.
