I kind of want to ask this guy why he's so invested in defending the rights of a rapist. Is he still secretly (or not) hung up on the idea that women are probably just falsely accusing men?
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Stopping the commission of a crime is not a wrong. Dumbass.
My mom's native Spanish-born (well, technically Basque, but she will refer to herself as a Spaniard) is totally giving me the rundown on Madrid and surrounds, where she's lived and explored. AWESOMECAKES.

Goddamn, it is windy out. I just had to retrieve my can lids. And they are chained up pretty closely to a post.

That's what it sounds like. Which doesn't make him less WRONG.

If there's been an epidemic of women kicking innocent men in the balls, I've missed it.

We were at a new gun store yesterday, and I pointed something silly out to Hubby--bayonets for pistols. yes, little two/three-inch blades you can attach to the front of your pistol. Unfortunately, the gun store proprietor was offended that we laughed at them. I looked at him in surprise: "How are you supposed to use such a thing?" And I made a kind of stabby motion with my hand curved like I was holding a pistol.
"Well," he said after a moment, "that may be the only weapon you have left, and you can use it on your attacker." (Dude, you've gone through a full clip, and the attacker is still close enough that a two-inch bayonet is a viable weapon? Are you going solo into a Mexican drug war?)
"I'd rather have a proper knife. And if you that close, shouldn't you just club the guy with the pistol?"
I don't think we're going to go back to that store. A little high on the "Oh, wow, we can shoot things with these neat toys! We're so tough!" scale. We're going to check some others to see if they stock the full line of pistol bayonets this store does.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The scary part is, this isn't the drunk rapist apologist. This is a new guy.
I'm not sure why "self defense" and "preventing rape or murder" which allow lethal force isn't getting through to him.
Perhaps being kicked in the nuts is a fate worse than death? If so, I'd suggest I nut punch him a few times so he can see that while it is incredibly unpleasant, AT LEAST I DIDN'T SHOOT YOUR RAPING ASS IN THE BRAIN PAN.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's what you women do! Accuse innocent men of rape, then kick them in the balls! Or at least, so I gathered from a very special episode of Blossom.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And if you that close, shouldn't you just club the guy with the pistol?"
We walked by the gun store near Emmett's mom's house on the way to the ballfield today and he mentioned that he'd been inside and they had a replica of Wyatt Earp's "Peacemaker." Apparently it's not just huge, but heavy - like 15 lbs. Which suddenly makes so much more sense that Wyatt Earp did most of his lawmaking by pistol-whipping guys into unconsciousness.
