Actually, I suggested the type of bullying to which I referred in my post, but, you apparently did not read it or did not want to quote the same.

Look, the law of self defense is perhaps the oldest law known to mankind. The fact that so many today are confused as to how it operates is an illustration of the laziness of so many and their lack of curiosity that might otherwise lead them to read the law and become educated.

I think our murder rate is actually quite similar to most of Europe's if you take out one segment of our population that skews our rate.

Before anyone screams "racism", I am only citing a well known fact. I am not opining as to the reason for that skewed statistic.

Doesn't London have a higher murder rate than NYC?
