There are better ways of dealing with this then building up a mini-army JJChambers Apr 2014 #18

But an 'armed mob' might show up! Better just let him commit a crime Rex Apr 2014 #23
Yep, that's the position. Violent criminals must be allowed to commit their crimes. MohRokTah Apr 2014 #66
The double standard between that and OWS is dumbfounding. Rex Apr 2014 #71
Well come now, OWS was peaceful MohRokTah Apr 2014 #77
