Agreed. One has to always recognize there are consequences to your own actions.

Read back in the thread what he was sentenced to jail for. He didn't deserve to be shot I agree (no one does as I've already said) but he's not some poor innocent boy caught shoplifting bubble gum in a corner store, who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Trained people can handle situations like this without shooting. You and your friends are not trained.

Ayn Rand smoked cigarettes for the power of control of fire.

She shot a lot dead with Atlas Shrugged, though.

They deserved it.

Most of the time, yes. Not all of the time though. Sometimes things get out of hand, or don't go the way they do in "training".

But I thought police were the only people that can be trusted with handguns?

Six cops and they can't control one teenager. Pathetic.

It is Quebec though....so what can you say....they do their best, god bless em.

Yeah, they got dopamine problems.

It's an acetycholine thing connection, too.

"In humans, non-human primates and rodents, these interneurons respond to salient environmental stimuli with responses that are temporally aligned with the responses of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra."

Multiple people there, one leaves, another stands around. What a bunch of cowardly sleazeballs.

The officer that was getting hit in the head with a steel baton, his life is being threatened. He was justified to shoot. He had a right to protect himself from great bodily harm. The question you should be asking is when this all started why were the other officers just standing around and just watching. Why weren't they helping take this guy down and get him handcuffed?

They coulda just shut the door and locked him inside, and then thrown him a lit cigarette.

The pharmaceutical companies would hate that.

Well he definitely ended up in hospital with a concussion (which is supposedly from his baton that was seized by the kid who bashed him on the head with it).


Unless you think he got a concussion after banging his own head up against the wall because he was despondent that no one was helping him?
