Topic	The White Settlement shooting shows why everyone needs to take combat training
Kyuubi4269 12/30/19 12:39:04 AM #51:	_AdjI_ posted... And combat roll or not, the issue is being shot at which a combat roll does not stop. Combat roll keeps you from getting killed, condom keeps you from getting an STD. If people can shoot at me and I am not shot, I couldn't care less. If nobody is shooting at me and I get shot, I care a lot. Dodging being shot is the primary issue, as long as I am not shot I am happy. Escaping a shooting is not equally as good as your rapist wrapping his dong lol _AdjI_ posted... The analogy's not perfect, but it works for illustrating how futile a bandaid solution this idea is. It's not just a bandaid though. It's like taking an anti-venom after a snake bite because it's far more practical than making venomous snakes extinct before you venture outside. You'd rather not get bitten, but if it only ends up hurting you superficially, you can happily live on accepting that outside risk.

The only problem is he did this a few days after that Wal-Mart mass shooting so people panicked and some guy with a concealed gun pulled it on him and held him at gun point until the cops came to arrest him. They charged him with making a terrorist threat and last month he plead guilty to some lesser crime. The guy who held him at gun point wasn't charged with anything. If people learned what is and is not a threat, perhaps they wouldn't overreact and we could avoid pointless conflict like this. --- Doctor Foxx posted...
