That's commendable, but if someone pulled a knife on me then I would see it as an act intending to kill me & in that situation I would see it as kill or be killed.Originally posted by chasingtheaurora View PostBecause I'm generally a peace-loving person. And didn't want to get done for manslaughter.
If I were able to disarm my assailant then I would certainly follow through and take the consequences.

Well, I didn't see him this morning so perhaps he was at another station.Originally posted by wendigo100 View PostI spotted a train-spotter at Marylebone Station this morning (so I can tick him off in my I-Spy book
).
Anyway, he was wearing camouflage clothing, and I'm still wondering why.
Or dressed up as a brick wall.Comment
