Knowing the operators of O'Briens then, this entrepreneur would have had a big arse hole in his chest from a gunshot.

Sorry, I forgot you are a little scared man that likes to be abused.

You are such a lousy person for not thinking of the person injured by this animal and only thinking his struggles in his poor life that he had to go stab someone and then cause additional property damage.

… the injured clerk shares your bloodthirst.

Not getting stabbed is not blood thirst.

Way more entertaining than Magoo.

Variety is the spice of life.

It’s not wrong to value and defend one’s own life.

And, having animus and anger towards people who would do such evil acts is life-affirming, because that attitude aids in self-preservation.

Does that make you a lousy person for not thinking of innocent bystanders who might have been shot instead?

A lot of people think they're better marksmen than they are, and sometimes they hit the wrong person.

I am thinking of the victim. Even if he didn't catch a stray bullet, shooting the attacker wouldn't get the EMTs there any faster.
