I am amazed the discourse in this thread hasn't turned into a frag fest over Second Amendment rights yet.
Hey, I guess having Trump being elected does have a good side or two.
Don't really know if politics of all things had anything to do with this alleged murder, but if somebody was drunk and in a mood to give a knuckle massage facial to anyone within reach, I'd think twice about making a provocative ethnically derisive joke to uhhh, somehow lighten the atmosphere a bit?
Seems to me that symbolic slap to the face was meant to aggravate the confrontation, if anything.
Not saying murdering someone was the logical solution to the problem each man faced, just saying having some common sense and a little street smarts could have avoided this tragedy.
I've seen (and learned the hard way) that the first thing you try to establish in a possible scrap is if the guy you're going up against is willing to go one step further than you are. If so, then discretion being the better part of valor rules the day.
Some folks just don't have the opportunity to learn that before something really bad happens to them I guess.
