Is your first instinct gun owner or parent?

****, I could watch kids get a punch in the face all day.

Here's a tangential question for everyone. Ignore the details of this case. Are there some 6-year olds that have richly deserved a punch in the face?

Yeah, but every time I do I get dads coming over to fight me. Good thing I have my old trusty fire-arm to protect myself.

A full on full power punch from an adult male? No.
I could literally kill a 6 year old with a full power punch to the face.

I have never met one.

Those are technical details. I'm obviously not condoning punching kids in the face. Being 36, when I look back at my childhood(say ages 10-14), it really seems pathetic how some adults would engage in feuds with us kids, up to and including minor physical violence.

That's beside the point. My point is whether it's possible to be 6 and be a piece of **** as a human being or are all 6-year olds "kids" in the sense that we shouldn't pass harsh moral judgments on them?

I think there are definitely piece of **** 6 year olds.
I knew one. He would spit on you for no reason. I wanted to punch him in the face. His parenting was/is horrible.

Yes, the cosmos is full of wrongs. In the end they all cancel out and mean nothing, and will be obliterated anyway when the sun collapses. Don't worry. Be happy.

It's fine to sit on a soapbox and imagine only one wrong happening here. But we've got a series of problems that need to be addressed. At any one place, doing something different would have prohibited the further. I'll break it down further

1. Kids were riding a dirt bike up and down the street.
   1. Unlicensed drivers on a public road
   2. Uninsured drivers on a public road
   3. Unregistered vehicle?
   4. It's loud as ****, common courtesy mang!
2. A guy punched a kid/kids in the head
   1. Child Abuse(and the litany of charges)
3. A guy approached a man with intent to beat him up/tackle him
   1. Assumed Assault
      1. Caused a reasonable level of fear
4. A man pulled a gun?
   1. IIRC, stand your ground laws of Utah allow the use of Lethal force if threatened.
      1. Admittedly, I am not an expert, but some SYG laws allow for lethal force even if retreat was reasonable
5. A man barricaded himself in his home in an attempt to stalwart police intervention
   1. Really?

This situation could have been avoided at any of these parts of the timeline.

It would seem as if your first instinct would be that the gun owner was wrong. You're not wrong saying that. In my opinion, you are wrong saying there aren't reasonable problems that should have been addressed better by everyone here.

I'm not sure I have an instagram account. I should be able to see this without one, yeah?

meh, more likely their parents are the ones needing the hit.
