They say there is a fine line between self defense and taking justice into your own hands. Well, Dick Tracy, there is a fine line between life and death, too.
When are these bleeding heart liberals in the law enforcement going to get a clue? The act of defending oneself from attack or robbery — or worse, murder — is not condoned by the police.
What are people supposed to do, roll over and play dead until the police finally, if ever, show up? After reading about the Spokane barista who stopped a robbery by using a can of spray mace on a slimeball person, all the police can say “we don’t condone taking the law into their own hands.”
Get real, will you? It’s called self defense, and dead men tell no lies, and I would rather be tried by 12 than carried by six.
The only person who is going to save your backside is yourself, because the judge will let them out on nickel and dime bail for capital crimes to do it all over, again and again.
