In this case, PH just lost a stunningly stupid PR. But the Constitution protects their rights to be as stupid as they can and want to be. Nobody is questioning them their right to the decision. So drop that line as if it is even objected in the first place.
However, for the author to equate a pizza delivery guy out to make a hard and honest living to the “alleged assailant”,
But as a Des Moines resident — who like many people across the country frequently exercises my God-given right to order pizza and have it delivered to my door at any hour by a stranger — this is where I start to get almost as wary of the delivery guy as I am of the alleged assailant.
is just another gigantic step in the stupidiness scale.
For your personal anecdote, re: David Powell, your point is irrelevant to Spiers’ case. A personal decision on self-defense (i.e. in your words, to counter guns with guns), “I’ve got to think there are better public safety options than that.”
It is always the same with you guys. In order for you to FEEL BETTER (“to NOT suspect if the guy is packing heat”), you get to think there are better public safety options than that (countering guns with guns).
You go right ahead to reward a business for their FEEL GOOD policy, next time a PH delivery guy get injured/killed you can FEEL BETTER at knowing the guy followed the company policy.
