    You know what’s another dangerous weapon? A fist. And an elbow. And a knee. And a tackle.

    People can be dangerous even without weapons. He needed to be stopped immediately, before reaching any non-security personnel.

      Shit. I know like 20 people with fists, elbows, and knees. I’m gonna call the cops on them right now.

        If they’re running at you after illegally jumping through security trying to prevent him from getting close to you - I sure hope you’d call the police! That’s dangerous behaviour, and is scary.

          Guess I should tase or shoot all the people that walk past my no trespassing signs instead of just walking out and asking them to leave.

          Shit. I think they all had elbows too!

            Ah yes, because a stadium with thousands of people is exactly as manageable as your backyard.

            Also, saying “tase or shoot people” is ridiculous. Don’t put those in the same category. One is meant to neutralize, the other to kill.

            Also also, I like how you disregard completely the point about how they’re running - probably sprinting even. Which is again, much less manageable than your (honestly unreleated) example of “people that walk past my no traspassing signs”.

            Seriously, put yourself in the situation for just a second and think again how chill you would’ve been.

      These guys were at a baseball game right? Those ball players have gloves, bats, balls etc that could all be used for self defense. They are also athletes who are probably in good shape. This was not a threat to their lives or anyone else’s.

      Stop letting the fear of possibilities be an excuse to hurt other human beings.

        an excuse to hurt other human beings.

        I think the person that keeps arguing that this was justified is one of the “the pain is the point” people. They just want to have an excuse to hurt someone.
