thats the only way to make some people be good .

No excuses for thugs murdering people. They already had rap sheets for assault. Fighting back makes me see Shorty as even more of a hero.

I think he would feel different if it was him being beaten.

Yeah, well he can kiss it.

don't resist, let them take what they want and we will catch them later. So, let them rape, rob, beat and maybe kill you, but we will make them pay.

Senior Citizens like Shorty need to carry a gun, as an equalizer against these younger, stronger and more agile thugs.
