Shoot him in the leg? Haaaaaaahahaha. There's a person who's never been in a real life or death situation. You have no idea how much stress and adrenaline flow at times like that. You'd be lucky if you didn't kill the wrong person.
I love it when people call me a liberal. Last time I checked, liberals didn't own Glocks or have extreme anger management issues. No my cowardly friend, I can fight and I have no problems with laying someone out with my hands and/or feet.
It's really easy to avoid confruntations, too. Don't talk shit. Respect until disrespected, then it's vengence with the swiftness. You know what's really funny to me? The same people who'll call gangbangers cowards, have the exact same mentality.
