Honestly?
It's a fucking comic - who cares?

Those who care, care.
Those who don’t, don’t.
There are those who didn’t care up to now, but suddenly care.
And then there are those who like to poke sticks at those who suddenly care.

Mac is right. She should have waited for the on duty civil police and not interfered. That's why you have police. To not be able to be everywhere at once and be able to protect people like these would have been victims.

Was there a chance the alleged criminal might have robbed the people and shot them as well? Doesn't matter. Can't have trained armed individuals stepping in when needed just because they were (a) armed (b) trained and (c) needed, now can we?

Was the gun the criminal had legally owned? I'm guessing he didn't pass a background check and propably didn't follow the law about his gun either.

Thank god the SP perp wasn't in the US.

He'd have been armed with several assault rifles and after killing the robbery victims would have entered a kindergarten and killed all the kids as well.

If Winnie was baiting CC, he stepped right into it.
This isn’t like agonizing over the right dry fly. This is like putting a hunk of balogna on a hook and dangling it in the pond.

That Dan person's posts can be summarized as "stop liking what I don't like".

CC isn't salmon, he's carp so Winnie baited for a bottom feeder.

Sorry, unsure how to embed vids.

Bear in mind, this was an off-duty military policewoman. Do not attempt this at home...

ON edit: originally posted it as being in Rio, and just noticed she is in fact military police

Many times when off duty cops try that shit here in Brazil, itends with dead bystanders,which in this case would have probably have been kids. I live in fear of some cop pulling something like that. They can have my wallet: I don’t want poorly aimed bullets whizzing by my head.

Katinha’s either a cop who has had way more than the usual training or very lucky. I suspect the latter.

To (bend over backwards to) be fair, Dan's made some useful posts on actual gaming, especially in the area of SF/fantasy/pulp.

I do wish he could manage to keep his political rants off TMP, but that seems to be part of his "set".

Gotta take the bitter with the suite, I guess.

Or Bill could try out the role of moderator, for a change.
