Fuck, that sentence is so painfully true it makes me see red.

I don't understand how anyone could possibly argue that shooting a man who just pointed a gun at you dead is somehow wrong, even if you've disarmed him. Its an absolute failure to understand that there exist second order plus effects; the literal bandit will simply do it again unless permanently stopped, and the next victim may not be so lucky.

And every chucklefuck that says something on the order of "but you'd be shooting an unarmed man" or muh vigilantism or whatever, kindly go fuck yourselves. The easiest way not to get shot for banditry is to not attempt banditry. You, I, and every other person here and that you probably know spends all day, every day not engaged in banditry, and runs zero risk of being "muh vigilantism"'d.

Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.
