Just Give Them What They Want 230-gr. JHP

Remember, guns are evil killing machines, even in the hands of law-abiding citizens. And you should never try to defend yourself with one, because that would only serve to "escalate the violence".

Your best course of action: "Just Give Them What They Want".

That sounds reasonable, right? Surely, the gun's just there to scare you into complying and surrendering your wallet and valuables. It's not like these street criminals are violent people, per se. They're just misunderstood victims of society who are enacting their own personal wealth redistribution program. So show some compassion and make your non-tax deductible donation today.

Not.

Approached by a masked gunman who demanded his gold chain early yesterday on River Street, a 27-year-old Hyde Park man handed over the jewelry only to get shot in the right foot and thigh.


Gee, it's a good thing the victim was unable to return fire. Why, that might have "escalated the violence" and reduced the masked gunman population in Boston by the count of one.
