Out of work? No morals? Have a law degree? Think everybody lacks common sense just like you? Why not work for the ACLU?!
Seems to me to be a case of if gasoline were invented today, it would be outlawed!
It's called an "option". You can use it or not depending on which scenario would pose a lesser risk. If you see a group attacking another with shanks, go ahead and use it because you need to diffuse the situation now, not a minute from now after all the necessary guards can be assembled. The attackee will thank you for it even if he gets zapped. It's way less lethal than a shank.
Or maybe you'd rather they just die. Which in many hardcore cases would probably be better for society anyway. |
