now you add that my gf is there, that ends the thought in my mind im standing my ground and im telling her to run as fast as she can to the nearest person and dial 911 the whole way. and im going to use whatever is in my environment against these guys to stay between them and her
in this case it died out awefully fast because people were present everywhere so there were lots of witnesses to call the police. had no one been there it would have been quite different. doesnt really sound like there was time for marshy to make a choice because of that.
the discussion is moot because there were so many people around
You're still missing the point

Agree to disagree I suppose... but from what Tim has posted, it seems like he did the right thing, he walked away and wasn't put away...
