Originally posted by normhead I once discussed this with a Buddhist, who said don't kill him. Dig a deep hole, put a rock over it with a small hole in the middle, drop enough food down there to keep him alive. He can live as long as he wants to. You don't have to kill people. You don't have to let them go free either. There's always a choice and that's the truth. People like you trying to frame situations where there is no choice is pointless. You don't see the non-violent way out. How do you talk your way out of a hypothetical situation? You can't. But I know many who have talked their way out of real life situations. Fact is, neither you nor I ever faced Ted Bundy, not you with your gun or me with my wits... so there we don't know.
When Ghandhi was asked about fighting Hitler he said. Sure it could have been done non-violently... many would have died. But many ultimately died anyway." Would it have been more... less? Does it matter. You decide how it's going to be for you and you live your life that way. I just hope the day Parallax gets caught with his pants down and can't reach his gun... I'm there to save his butt non-violently.
1) Ted escaped after during a trial out west and once after that.
2) I see a non-violent way. I don't perpetrate violence on people or create madness and mayhem. What I keep trying to explain to you is these things aren't always up to you or me. Like the 100 women Bundy killed. It wasn't up to them. If you get car-jacked, it isn't your decision to have a car-jacking. I have found that police officers are too heavy to carry around with me.
Edit: FSU here in Tally has had 38 armed robberies on campus since Jan 1 and an attack/attempted rape. The latter guy got caught after she bit, and beat the crap out of him. To deter the robberies, instead of using FSU PD officers, they got the bright idea to post more unarmed security guards. In June, one of the security guards got robbed, including his radio, phone and flashlight around 10 pm.
