@mark_a_phelps There are several good reasons /r/IAmA is popular; one of them is that the best questions rise to the top.
@mark_a_phelps I pose to you that verbal Q&A in general is a waste of time to a large audience if the questions are unmoderated.

@johnjoseph Playing the coulda/shoulda/woulda speculation game is a waste of time.
@johnjoseph Right; I focus on the facts of what DID happen, not the potential alternative realities that COULD have happened.
@johnjoseph @IJasonAlexander “Shoot the leg, the arm” is an obvious sign of firearm naïveté. Instructors train you to shoot center of mass.

@khperkins That’s why it went to trial - had to piece together all the evidence in order to recreate the situation as accurately as possible
@khperkins This statement is true. It’s also true that he followed the letter of the law with regard to use of force. He’ll be acquitted.
@johnjoseph @khperkins @mollycrabapple If you’re interested in stories of unarmed aggressors getting shot, check out. http://t.co/p5o8GSpkmp
@khperkins That’s not how the law works. Following someone at a distance in public is not a crime, nor is it considered “starting a fight.”
@drewpotential I only put learning first because unlearning has a dependency upon learning.
@khperkins @johnjoseph @mollycrabapple You must not know much about the law or about fighting if you think a fist fight can’t turn deadly.
@johnjoseph @mollycrabapple Ah, OK. I just want people to realize that lethal force can be achieved without weapons. Hands & feet can kill.
@johnjoseph @mollycrabapple You understand that Martin was the one who escalated the confrontation to the level of lethal force, right?
I pose to you that the ability to unlearn is nearly as important as the ability to learn.
@mollycrabapple @johnjoseph Mace is a non-lethal weapon, thus using lethal force in response would make you a criminal aggressor.
