Not to mention firing your weapon in public without being in the act of defending self or others is illegal.

Not to mention firing your weapon in public without being in the act of defending self or others is illegal. So is using the gun to scare or intimidate people, to which I believe this applies. His intent was to scare the thief into surrendering.

Wait, so it's a bad thing to have random bystanders going around shooting their guns like they are in a video game?

As he should be. I'm not a against guns or people's right to carry them, but the notion of a "good guy with a gun" is a right wing masturbatory fantasy. Handguns are designed for personal defense. At the point the thief was running away he was no threat to no one. Even if he was in the middle of a robbery (sans a gun of his own) he was no threat to anyone's person. Under no circumstance was this "good Samaritan" in the right, here.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
