What an ignorant answer if I ever heard one, and it coming from whom? Like I said before it is real funny for someone to have a “strong” comment on something they never trained for or ever experienced. Why is it so hard for people to actually open their minds and think right, I don’t expect everyone to research everything in depth or have a good thought calculation process but at least make the bit least effort to think a little bit.



If you are willing to step out of your shoes for a moment and open your ears you may learn something, here. Do you know why companies hire security officers and/or off-duty police officers for security services? Is it to catch the bad guys? NO! They are simply there to people honest people honest. Hopefully you will be able to grasp what I’m saying. The line for breaking the law is easy to cross; most people will barely cross that line with a very minimal amount of people going way over. Shooting a person that barely crosses that line is hardly any achievement. Those robbers definitely did not look like stone cold criminals, and may have even been deterred if a security guard was present. Do you really, and I mean really think that Mike sent out a message? He may have sent out a message to those people that barely cross the line but those people are the easiest to deal with. You might as well step on a cockroach in the middle of the floor and leave it there to set an example for the rest, if that is what you see as an accomplishment. But know this, people get desperate everyday and some of those people are hard criminals such as people that spent numerous years in prison that can’t adjust to outside life, the kind of people that WILL shoot. So while you send out a message to the little guys saying you may get shot, the only message you are sending to a real killer is “you better shoot me before I shoot you”. THINK!



Also, what I said about a little girl makes perfect sense for the only thing that could have made a difference in the outcome of the situation could have been the time of day, maybe like after school! AGAIN THINK!



Watching “robberies” on TV does not make you an expert on the matter. If you could only realize that with little training you can learn to identify the signals that people give to determine their actions, you would have a better thought process, just like I was able to determine that someone was going to give an obtuse opinion, on something foreign to them.
