    Anyone who takes a stand for what is right, and stands up for those that are unable to for different circumstances is one great person!

    Thanks for sharing Ron!!!

    The other day somebody (rather nastily) asked me what gives me the right to go around thumping other people's skulls over what I think is right or wrong.

    I do it because it's better than doing nothing at all.

    I would rather be guilty of over-reacting and handing out a beat down than be guilty of looking the other way. I do have to look at my self in the mirror each morning.

    Wearing a kilt, I am bound to be noticed. I WANT people to remember me and the things I do. Word spreads.

    We men in kilts have a responsibility to create a repution for our selves. We have a strong history and reputation behind us, and some big shoes to fill.

    One of the advantages of living in the somewhat still sane south is that when we see something like that going on we just shoot them. "He needed killing" is a justified defense in a case like that.

    Like Dred I don't much care for the uber-lib "how can you" or "why do you" kind prefering the mantra of "it is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

    Not sure what Uber Lib means. Maybe you can explain that to me.

    It is a great article. I am glad that Cliff was able to help.

    Not sure how people would react around here to a guy in a kilt coming after them!

    and I'm not sure what part you don't understand? I'm refering to those of the ultra liberal bent (the left wing radicals) that would have us not resist violent crime, give up guns (want my chainsaw too?) and keep releasing convicted criminals to prey on us again and again. The same ones that have lawyers (and money) that have convinced the courts to rule that the primary job of the police is not to protect the citizen but to uphold order of the society. All in the face of proof that none of this worksdoesn't work.

    That help any?

    sounds like someone's getting their clothes twisted......respect, just having some fun.
    Actually, what you described sounds like far right to me, but that was covered by The Who.

    Then you've got the confusion of adding in the Scottish stereotype who wants the polis to protect and uphold, the right for women to carry guns and the right for the guys to put the boot in if the law's not there.

    Big credit to the guy in the kilt, feel the power. And a note to Dread: you've been wonderfully restrained in your posts. I've noticed the change, good.

    LOLOL Clothes twisted? Don't wear'em myself... Don't know about the far right, never met any so I can only speak to the ultra left I'm around all the time. I catch serious stuff for being more moderate left than they. I do suppose though that if one went far enough right they could be left, the what goes around comes around argument?

    I firmly believe that a woman should never be allowed to carry a gun...until she has been trained to use it and that men, since the constabulary won't, use whatever force is at hand to stop crime and criminals.
