#9  #6 What would you have her do instead, Uncle Phester? Stand by, taking no action until the cops arrive with a public defender for the assailant?

No, CS, I would expect her to do as would most of us, dispense ventilation with extreme prejudice, this in spite of her position vis-a-vis "human rights." Just pointing out the, probably tensionless, cognitive dissonance....

#8  Looks like the "human rights activist" fades to reality when her own family is involved, eh?

#4  Some of the best human rights activists are heavily armed. (My father's division did more for human rights in April of 1945 than my law school's "Human Rights Institute" ever will.)

I cheerfully welcome Kirstie to the ranks of those who understand this.

There is a right not to be raped, and there is a right to bear arms. Sometimes the two come together.
