In reply to the discussion: 17 yr. old woman defends herself from criminal on the run [View all]sarisataka
(19,131 posts)2. GUN HUMPING AMMOSEXUAL COWARD
she endangered everyone within a two mile radius with her barrel stroking itch to kill. She had so many options:
-sleep with a can of wasp spray under her pillow
-she's young. she could have run away
-even if she couldn't I know a 80 lb. 70 yro lady who incapacitated seven bikers using only a wooden spoon
-and I know a man who is only 6'9", 375 lbs, an Olympic freestyle wrestling gold-medalist who lived in Poughkeepsie back in the "bad old days" and he never needed a gun so obviously she didn't need one either
I'm not even going to talk about beans because this alleged "intruder" was probably just looking for a bathroom and had no ill intent...
Besides, it is better to be a victim:
The problem is, if you are armed, it escalates the situation, Mr. Quander told residents. It is much better, in my opinion, to be scared, to be frightened, and even if you have to be, to be injured, but to walk away and survive. Youll heal, and you can replace whatever was taken away.

Glad the young lady was unharmed and had the means to defend herself
