The guy who got killed doing nonviolent shit?
the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world 5 days ago
Are you suggesting he should have used the gun that he had on him?

Yes
Cowbee@lemmy.ml 4 days ago
Yes, there’s a chance he’d still be alive today if he did so.
the_mighty_kracken@lemmy.world 4 days ago
There’s a chance he would have died in a hail of gunfire, and probably gotten a lot of innocent bystanders killed as well, and a certainty that if he had survived, he would have gone to jail for the rest of his life. I don’t know what the solution is to the problems my country is facing right now, but I know for a fact that what you’re suggesting is not the solution.

I’m suggesting that if it were me, and I was gonna go down either way, I’d rather die knowing that I helped rid the world of at least one of those rat bastards.

Pretti’s death may have turned the tide. If he had fired his weapon or even unholstered it, that would not be true.

I see we’ve got a badass on our hands.
