Ok, I don't know how old your daughter is...but let's pretend she's 17.
And now you are imagining that it's your daughter coming back and jumping on a Hispanic guy who followed her and she began beating the shit out of the guy and got shot dead.
Nope, your daughter (or most rational people) wouldn't do that. Only young men full of piss and fire will do something that goddamn dumb.
But now...imagine your daughter is 10 years older than 17. She's 27/28 years old (or as you call it "30"). And SHE is on the neighborhood watch and is armed because there have been robberies in the neighborhood.
SHE gets out of her car after calling 911 to report a suspicious person on a rainy night in the neighborhood that has been getting robbed. Nobody else is walking that neighborhood but this one guy wearing a hoodie and walking up in people's yards checking out their houses.
She follows him because she doesn't want to lose sight of him. (or as you call it "stalking")
Now the guy gets pissed off at being followed, comes back and punches YOUR DAUGHTER right in the nose. She goes down. He mounts her and starts beating her (or as you call it "a fist fight").
Now Rochard...do you want YOUR daughter to lay there and let this guy beat her until he gets tired of beating her? Or do you want her to put a fucking hole in him with that gun?
What's the cop saying: "Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6" (because the cops would have shot Trayvon Martin dead without him ever getting close enough to punch them)
See, for all your posturing you aren't thinking about the flip side of the coin. You only see what you want to see.
