Wild Bill’s Pawn Shops: Abilene & the Big Country’s official Anti-Wimp & 2nd Amendment HQ!
CBSDFW.com reports: “…witnesses told police that the incident began when the man he shot was harassing two women on the train. One of them got off the train. The other switched seats with Skinner to give her more distance. DART says that’s when the man got into an argument with Skinner, then a fight and then went after him.
“The agency did not identify the victim but said he was still being treated by a Dallas hospital after being shot in the chest and legs.

DART spokesman Morgan Lyons said, “After talking with some of the witnesses, talking to the person who did the shooting, we decided not to file charges. However, this has been referred to the Dallas grand jury.”
“DART Police identified the man who fired his handgun as Malcolm Skinner.
“Lyons said Skinner is licensed to carry.”
I was on the train. I was afraid when I counted the gun shots. My reaction to fear was to flee. He was never arrested they escorted him to the police car. After another car arrived he was seated in the front passenger seat. I would love to give a statement to the grand jury.
He wasn’t arrested because it was self defense. The number of shots fired is unimportant. We are taught to fire until the threat is neutralized. You can’t stop and then say, “Old chap, are you going to give up?” That’s a good way to be killed. It ain’t like the movies, people don’t blow backwards and die instantly. They keep coming, they keep fighting.
Here is footage of the incident which clearly shows it was probably self defence.

Came here to post that. You can always tell the character of a person by whether they return the cart….and also by how he freaks out when called out about it. What a DB. This whole posting is a joke. “Anti wimp” really. Using a firearm is what makes you not a wimp. Actually hiding behind a weapon that gives you the power and upper hand in an encounter IS the wimp move. So many different “anti wimp” actions to take in this scenario and the guy choose the one that involves stand off range. WIMP. Make me now think that most people carrying guns got stuffed in lockers as a kid.
The Anti-Wimp idea is not about using a firearm per se, it is that a person doesn’t bow to the idea of letting criminal aggressors kill and maim the innocent while looking around for someone else to take responsibility. Many states have had “must retreat” laws that include a duty to runaway even when in one’s own home. That is wimpism.
“Kill or maim” is that what really happened here?
A duty to run away…it is also called preserving human life. I thought Texas was big on that.
Check out the cart narc video. You’re right, the guy isn’t a wimp, the guy is a douche bag.
And for your previous comment on firing until the threat it neutralized. It’s called ammunition discipline. Too many people not training to learn to use a weapon properly.
“Kill and maim” is that what the criminal was doing in this article? Sometimes using judgement to preserve life is more important than hiding behind a law that says you can stand your ground. I though Texas would be better at protecting all life. But you’re right…the cart narc video showed this guy isn’t
A wimp. It showed he is a sad sack.
Either case in regards to your other comment. If you train on your weapon enough you can use ammo discipline.
