- Of course you are in possession of the full facts regarding this
- particular incident, otherwise you wouldn't make such statements
- would you ?
- Are you one of these people that believe everything is avoidable, it
- can all be planned against.
- Please remember that the Police etc. are usually dealijng with tht
- most unpredictable of things ...... humans. Really it's quite
- stunning what humans will do, so unexpected some times. As for
- waiting around a few years until you are eally sure you know
- everything exactly ... a great policy for letting people get away
- IMHO.
- I can see a lot in what you are saying, but and this is even related
- to MA (relevancy .. wow !) you have to go into a situation with the
- realization that the unexpected will happen and you can't plan for it
- (that's why it's unexpected). I had this argument with a friend of
- mine that does Ju Jutsu. We were watching Perfect Weapon .... there
- is a particular scene when the main protagonist is involved in a bar
- room brawl and finally gets blind sided with a beer bottle. My mate
- was of the opinion that it should never have happened and was
- indicative of poor MA ability, I was of the opinion that shit happens
- and in any large group scenario, particularily in enclosed spaces
- with several people after you (especially if they are really mean)
- you are on a hiding to nothing. Ther is a big chance they'll get you
- no matter how good you are, or what you do.
- Anyway the point is .... it's the chaos (buzzword) in life which
- makes everything a calculated risk and not an absolute decision.
