“I can’t really put into words how I feel about the fact that one of the nicest people I ever met was shot because an officer felt threatened,” McDermott told the Morning News.
Falling in line with most people's ridiculous disdain for self-defense in general, this attitude is pervasive and toxic.
It is the same attitude that is allowing the enemy to destroy us. This view that standing up for one's self is wrong and immoral, and that the aggressor must be accommodated and appeased, is disgusting.
Paradoxically, this is actually a survival mechanism of the weak. The risk/benefit assessment of the weak favors cowing to the enemy, hoping they spare you as you throw your fellow tribe member under the bus in an attempt to save your sorry ass.
This needs to be stamped out, and without mercy. Tribe members who do this are a liability and ought to be, well, purged.

Only lumberjacks and carpenters should be allowed such dangerous tools.
Universal background checks, registration, and no Short Handled Axes (they're concealable and stuff).
