    Did the 61 y/o attacker have a gun or knife? I wonder if he was mentally ill. Either way, the citizen pulling the gun and waiting for the cops was the right thing to do.

    Someone once jumped into my grandfather's car when he was in his early 80s and hit him with a gun. My grandfather, who was a WWII vet and apparently forgot he was an old man, punched the young man and chased him down the street. The cops caught the bad guy and gave him a crime-fighting award.

    I think the average criminal thinks about the risk that their intended victim is a bad a$$ more than thinking about the cops or penalties if convicted.

    What does this post have to do with Objectivism, AR, or AS?

      Hi, Zen! . since you have been here almost 2 years,
      you are aware that discussions ramble far and wide
      about subjects from epistemology to fashion, from
      science to astrology. . I do not have blinders on, as
      you do not, and the descending values in our nation
      are -- in my view -- pertinent to our lives.

      this post is particularly interesting to me, since I served
      as the classification officer at the manhattan project's
      y12 plant before I retired. . and since I know from
      personal acquaintance with the subject that
      Hillary did have sensitive info on her private
      computer, the subject is perhaps important to the
      20,000 potential readers here.

      if we should constrain ourselves exclusively to
      Rand subjects, we might have a far less enticing
      and relevant site. . I do sincerely hope that this
      is OK with you and the administration, since I love
      being here as a member of a smart, morality-based
      group of objectivists and wanna-bes. . yes? -- j
