Police Warn Crime Victims Against Taking On the Bad Guy

"Victims taking on their attackers: It's happened many times in just the last week. Victims are taking the law into their own hands. In some cases the outcome is good; in others it's a death sentence. Now local police weigh in on the issue.

Surveillance video captured a robbery at a Kentucky Fried Chicken in North Carolina. When the manager couldn't get the safe open the robber pulled the trigger, but the gun didn't fire, so the manager fought back.

Salt Lake City police sergeant J.R. Nelson said, "I would not suggest people doing this."

Lt. Lamar Ewell adds, "We encourage people not to fight back."

Where does one even begin to dispute such irrational nonsense...

But of course if attacked I will "take the law into my own hands." The Founders identified that as an inalienable right, and I have far more expertise and practice in defending myself than any law enforcement officer alive. To date, you see, none have ever defended me, while I on the other hand, have, so this designates ME as the qualified expert and not they.

So do we all. Each and every manjack. Our very own first and last line of defense.

But of course the police say otherwise. In SPITE of evidence to the contrary. Why?

Can't go letting joe blow think that he can do the same job as the hired help.

Then again, you COULD just take their advice and surrender.

Be good enough to tell us in advance where to send the flowers.
