Can I not read dates correctly, or did you just bring a 2 year old post back from the dead just to get your jollys off that someone seemingly agreed with you about your dumbass postulate? That was a nice, easy +3 to your post count. Trying to catch up to Mr. Huffman?

It's not Mister Huffman, Wangmuf.

It's MASTER Huffman.

:p

But, no, I'm not trying to catch Doug. As of today, he has 7,039 posts on OCDO. Too high a number to get to.

Doug very well could catch Citizen, however, as Citizen has 7,385 posts. Less than 350 more than Doug....

It's gonna be a horse race between those two thoroughbreds....

DeBusk said Knight attacked Kitts about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Rush Fitness Complex, 3001 Knoxville Center. Knight knocked Kitts down and was choking Kitts, DeBusk said, when Kitts reached into his pocket and pulled out a pistol.

DeBusk said Kitts has a carry permit for the weapon.

While DeBusk said prosecutors in the Knox County district attorney's office deemed no charges would be filed against Kitts, the spokesman said Knight may face a criminal offense because of the incident.

DeBusk declined to discuss what prompted the attack at the gym.

Sounds like a clear case of self-defense. Knight is lucky that Kitts wasn't carrying a more normal/recommendedcarry gun, I think.

I wonder why DeBusk would not inform on the reason for theattack.

Probably because it's none of the media's business. Besides, there is no good reason to be choking some guy at the gym, no matter what started it. Even if the incident spawned from the real victim saying something about the size of the perp's genitals, and perverted things about his sister, he still wasn't justified in reacting by choking him.
Would choking be OK if he talked about your sister's genitals?:uhoh:

I carry a mousegun at the gym. (Ruger LCP). Fits in my sweat pants in the little "eyeglass case" type holster.

I don't carry it with one in the chamber. Too light a trigger pull and no safety.

I'm confused.

If the "victim" (per the news headline) was choking the actual victim, I would have to assume that he was choking him with his hands. Therefore the assailant was armed and Hank's "postulate" isn't even in question. SMILE

As for a bad strategy and good tactics, just look up "Vietnam". Goodtactics, good strategy at first, then it went all to hell because of a change to a bad strategy.
